Just curious, why? AFAIK Ip6 is not compatible to Ip4, so why not implement a new branch? Or is the idea that one component should be able to handle all? Yes, of course. I think so--another branch will cause a lot of rework for future updates, wouldn't it? Indeed. And some maintenance heada

I wonder, what changes should be done to support IPv6. For now I see onlu few functions like gethostaddr etc, and some Socks5 stuff. This seems not very hard to implement (provided that new APIs appear). IMHO it's not very easy to keep backwards compatibility. And this is very important. -- f

Situation has not changed sinced last time someone asked: I will do IPv6 when a customer will ask for it for a large enough project. If enough peoples are interested, we can do a similar thing as we've done for ICS-SSL: peoples give some financial contribution to fund the development and I do it.
