netifaces

• Added LICENSE file
  • Automated Windows builds via AppVeyor.

• Fixed netmask determination on Windows.
  • All addresses are now unicode strings on all platforms, regardless of Python version.

• Fixed setup.py in case there's no print (thanks Stavros).
  • Fixed a potential one-byte stack overwrite (thanks Doug Horn).
  • Fixed possible null pointer deference (thanks bastiak).
  • Added support for IPv6 address flags on BSD/Mac OS X (thanks stefann).
  • Respect interface priorities when determining default gateway (on Windows and Linux).
  • Use CIDR notation for IPv6 netmasks.
  • Ignore broadcast addresses in the 169.254.0.0/16 range (it appears Cygwin's getaddrinfo() may erroneously generate these).
  • Stop using deprecated WSAAddressToStringA() API on Windows in favour of using WSAAddressToStringW() where available. Falls back to the older API if required.

• Fixed a problem with multi-part Netlink messages on Linux.

• When using Netlink (i.e. Linux), check for the constant NLM_F_DUMP_INTR, since it only appeared in kernel version 3.1

• Added a workaround for broken netlink headers on certain Linux distributions (the problem being that the netlink headers fail to include <bits/sockaddr.h>, which causes a build failure).

• Fixed a problem with the gateways() function that caused it a crash on PyPy.
  • The CI system is now set up to build for PyPy as well, so problems will be found sooner.

• Python 3 compatibility.
  • Improved Windows source code compatibility.
  • Added gateway detection via gateways() function.
  • New version number format (skipped 0.9.0 due to its use by the netifaces-merged fork).

All changes in this version relate to the ioctl( ) code path, which is not used on Windows or on any modern UNIX or UNIX-like system that implements getaddrinfo().

* Fixed bit-rot in the ioctl() code path.
* Fixed a problem with setup.py that might manifest itself if the
config.cache file was manually edited.
* Fixed the ioctl() code path to cope with systems that have
sa_len and return longer than normal struct ifreq requests from
SIOCG[L]IFCONF (for instance, Mac OS X).

• Dropped support for Win2K and earlier
  • Added support for addresses other than IPv4 on Windows
  • Removed empty 'addr' entries for interfaces that don't provide any addresses.
  • Fixed problems with setup script that prevented it running on Windows, and improved the chances of it working with cross-compilers somewhat.
  • Added a verion property to the module that you can test at runtime.

• Added a workaround for a FreeBSD kernel bug (kern/152036).
  • Added address_families dictionary to allow code to look up the symbolic name corresponding to a given numberic address family code.
