@ -19,19 +19,19 @@ Major new features:
* Improvements to the DNS stub resolver, contributed by Florian Weimer:
- glibc will now detect when /etc/resolv.conf has been modified and reload
the changed configuration. The new resolver option “no-reload”
(RES_NORELOAD) disables this behavior.
- The GNU C Library will now detect when /etc/resolv.conf has been
modified and reload the changed configuration. The new resolver option
“no-reload” (RES_NORELOAD) disables this behavior.
- glibc now supports an arbitrary number of search domains (configured using
the “search” directive in /etc/resolv.conf); previously, there was a
hard limit of six domains. For backward compatibility, applications
that directly modify the ‘_res’ global object are still limited to six
search domains.

- When the “rotate” (RES_ROTATE) resolver option is active, glibc will now
