1.99 CHANGES:
* Better implementation of inet_pton() that sets correct size (RT 75074)
* Added SO_DOMAIN
* More robust unit tests of address-mangling functions
1.98 CHANGES:
* Detect presence of sockaddr_in6 and ipv6_mreq; conditionally build
pack/unpack functions on this
* Back-compatibility improvements for older perls, back as far as
5.6.1 (thanks Zefram)
* Fix for picky compilers or platforms on which size_t doesn't
printf() correctly by %d
* Suppress some harmless compile-time warnings about unused variables
1.97 CHANGES:
* Rewritten Makefile.PL configure-time logic to use only core's
ExtUtils::CBuilder rather than CPAN's ExtUtils::CChecker
* Fix implementation of synthesized newSVpvn_flags() to also work on
threaded 5.10.0
* Set INSTALLDIRS=perl on perl before 5.11; required as it's
replacing a core module

* Fix Socket.t to use ok() instead of is() where required - RT73039
* Complete rewrite of module docs; list all the constants and
functions, updated SYNOPSIS
* Added convenient Exporter tag :addrinfo for all the gai/gni-related
symbols
* Provide static synthesized newSVpvn_flags() replacement for older
Perls
* Implement getnameinfo() NIx_NOHOST and NIx_NOSERV extension flags
1.95 CHANGES:
* Implement the remaining AI_*, EAI_* and NI_* constants from
Socket::GetAddrInfo
* Declare configure-time dependency on ExtUtils::Constants 0.23 for
when building out of core
* Initial attempt at dual-life extraction from bleadperl
