IPv6 support in version 3.0.16

  • In version 3.0.16 IPv6 support has been adapted, thanks to the original patch by Petr Písař

IPv6 support in CVS

There is a discussion on IPv6 support on the SF TODO item #1533125 and SF feature request #649507. One of the issues is that the IPv6 compatible privoxy version should revert to IPv4-only behaviour on systems that do not have getaddrinfo() support.

Petr work is based on an earlier effort, a patch against 20030523 CVS version by Lionel Elie Mamane <lionel@mamane.lu>.
