+1.6.12 2018-01-17
+
+* Populate metro and area code when performing lookups in IPv6 City databases.
+ Previously this was only done when using IPv4 City databases.
+
+1.6.11 2017-05-15
+
+* Fix use of a NULL pointer when opening a corrupt database with
+ `GeoIP_open`. Reported by Stephan Zeisberg. GitHub #87.
+
+1.6.10 2017-03-29
+
+* GeoIP_database_info now returns the full version string rather than
+ incorrectly truncating it. GitHub #79.
+* This API is now distributed with a small test copy of GeoIP.dat rather than
+ a full copy.
+* Fix issue where Visual Studio 2015 was optimizing out initialization code.
+ Reported and fixed by Scott Godin. GitHub #81.
+* Fix test/benchmark on Windows. Gisle Vanem. GitHub #75.
+
+1.6.9 2016-01-11
+
+* Fix a regression introduced in version 1.6.8, which caused
+ GeoIP_database_info to erroneously return NULL.
+
+1.6.8 2016-01-11
+
+* Allow compilation on older systems by relaxing the autoconf and automake
+ minimum versions. Thank you, Jose Rubio!
+* Avoid potential problems in multi-threaded environments by consistently using
+ pread() rather than read().
+* Fix various small issues reported by clang's static analyser.
+
+1.6.7 2015-10-30
+
+* Fixed a MSVC parser stack overflow when parsing `regionName.c` and
+ `timeZone.c`. Fix by elliotlo. GitHub #64.
+* Updated region codes and timezones.
+* When using `GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE` with an invalid database file, the search
+ tree traversal could attempt to read memory outside of the memory allocated
+ for the memory cache, resulting in a segmentation fault. A check was added
+ to ensure that the traversal code does not try to read beyond the end of the
+ file, whether in memory, memory mapped, or on disk.
+* Previously the return values from file reads were ignored. We now check
+ these values to ensure that there were no errors.
+
+
+1.6.6 2015-07-28
+
+* Replaced usage of deprecated fileno, read, and lseek on Visual Studio 2005+
+ with their ISO C++ conformant replacements. (Fix by ClaudiuHKS. GitHub #55.)
+* A warning about using a double as a float was fixed. (Fix by ClaudiuHKS.
+ GitHub #56.)
+* Fixed segfault when doing a lookup on an empty database. (Fix by NesoK.
+ GitHub #62.)
+* Fixed a memcheck error from valgrind in the `_check_mtime`
+ function. (Reported by yurivct. GitHub #60.)
+* Fixed `_check_mtime` to check the return value of `gettimeofday` rather than
+ just assuming it worked.
+
+
+1.6.5 2015-02-25
+
+* A segmentation fault in `geoiplookup` was fixed when the utility was passed
+ an invalid database. (Reported in Red Hat bug #1180874.)
+* Additional validation was added for validation of the size used in the
+ creation of the index cache. (Based on discussion in Red Hat bug #832913.)
+* Changed the code to only look up country codes by using functions which
+ ensure that we do not try to look past the end of an array. (Reported by
+ Ivan Sorokin. GitHub #53)
+
+
+1.6.4 2015-01-12
+
+* Update Fips codes (Boris Zentner)
+* Several issues with the MinGW build were fixed. (Thomas Pöchtrager. Github
+ #46.)
+* Use a constructor in pread.c to ensure the critical section is always
+ initialized. (Thomas Pöchtrager. Github #47.)
+* Added missing include of `io.h` on Windows. (Thomas Pöchtrager. Github #49.)
+* Fixed `configure` warning that `'missing' script is too old or missing`.
+ (Reported by Floren Munteanu. Github #33.)
+* Previously `nmake /f Makefile.vc clean` would fail on Windows. This was
+ fixed.
+* Obsolete win32 and NetWare make files were removed.
+* Numerous documentation updates. (Reported by Thomas Pöchtrager. GitHub #48.)
+
+
+1.6.3 2014-10-29
+
+* Added a GEOIP_SILENCE flag. Include this flag when calling GeoIP_open to
+ prevent any messages from being written to stderr. (Philip Prindeville
+ and Boris Zentner)
+* Mitigate a possible race condition when running under threads in the
+ GeoIP_cleanup function. (Anthon Pang)
+* Added some recommendations to the docs on using this library in a
+ threaded application. (Boriz Zentner)
+* Fixed some bugs discovered by coverity, including failure to check some
+ system call return values and making sure all strings are
+ null-terminated. (Boris Zentner)
+
+
+1.6.2 2014-07-08

+* Two files required for building on Win32 were missing from the 1.6.1
+ release. These files were added. There are no changes affecting other

+
+* Added support for Maxmind NetSpeed
+
+* MinGW patch from Stanislaw Pusep
+
+ I was re-compiling Geolizer (http://sysd.org/log.php#glzr) on Win32 so I
+ firstly needed to put up-to-date Win32 compatibility of libGeoIP itself.
+ Fortunately MinGW plataform evolved a lot since last time I used it to
+ compile libGeoIP. I'm sending you the patch with changes required for
+ libGeoIP to work on both Win32 and UN*X. UN*X behavior is unaffected. Now,
+ detailed explanation of what I did at all:
+
+ 1) Made correct header imports for both Win32 and UN*X. UN*X imports netdb.h
+ & netinet/in.h and Win32 imports windows.h & winsock.h
+ 2) Win32 gethostbyname() is only able to resolve hostnames, it can't convert
+ "127.0.0.1" string to 32-bit IP address. Thus I added lookupaddress()
+ function that safely resolves any string to IP address and replaced all
+ gethostbyname() calls by it.
+ 3) Database files were referenced by pre-compiled static strings. I
+ malloc()ed buffers for file names so they can be changed "on fly". Thus,
+ on Win32 version GeoIP.dat & other files are being seeked in the same
+ directory as executable file or library.
+ 4) Added README.MinGW file with brief explanation on how to get GeoIP
+ working under MinGW system.
+
+
+1.3.1 2003-11-11
+
+* Check for stdint.h in autoconf (Sean Chittenden)
+* prevent the geoipupdate man page from trying to install itself directly in
+ the system directory (Gyepi Sam)
+
+
+1.3.0 2003-09-29
+
+* Fixed includes to compile on Windows (Fabrice Colin)
+* Removed the _addr_to_num() calls from GeoIP_*_by_name()
+* _seek_record() optimizations (Maurice Cinquini)
+ 1) Use a single buf ptr inside the loops.
+ Set to the stack buffer or the cached memory the start of the function.
+ 2) Unroll the i=0,1 loop to allow constant folding.
+ 3) Unroll the j loop for the common case of j = STANDARD_RECORD_LENGTH
+ (I've already done the above changes see attached function.)
+ With gcc -O2 calculating x[0] and x[1] for STANDARD_RECORD_LENGTH now
+ only takes 15 (was > 100) i80x86 instructions with 6 byte accesses of RAM.
+ 4) only calculate x[0], x[1] when needed, may be a bigger win
+ than the above since all the other optimizations above only reduced
+ CPU instructions operating on CPU cached RAM.
+! IMPORTANT API Change: Changed GeoIPRegion to have region in structure. Saves space and a malloc.
+ Since GeoIPRegion.region is no longer a pointer but an in-structure
+ array so test the first byte of region == 0 rather testing if the region
+ pointer is NULL. (Maurice Cinquini)
+* Added GeoIP_assign_region_by_inetaddr which doesn't do any mallocs and made all other region APIs go thru it (Maurice Cinquini)
+* Replaced _h_addr_to_num() with ntohl() and removed _h_addr_to_num() (Maurice Cinquini)
