[getdns-users] First candidate for getdns-1.6.0 and stubby-0.3.0

[Willem Toorop]

Dear all,

We have a first candidate for the 1.6.0 release of getdns.

Mayor change from previous release is that the autotools based build
system has been replaced with a CMake build system.

The motivation for this change is to have Windows be a first class build
platform for getdns thereby increasing the ease of use of the getdns
library in Windows applications. getdns and stubby can now be built
using a native Windows build toolchain, ideally via the Visual Studio
project. This work will also facilitate developing a User Interface for
Stubby on Windows.

For those unfamiliar with CMake we have put together a CMake Quick Start
Guide on how to build getdns with the new build system here:

	https://getdnsapi.net/quick-start/cmake-quick-start/

Another change in the build system is that the eventloop support
libraries (for libevent2, libev and libuv) will now automatically be
build when those libraries are detected.

Besides the build system changes, this release has also some bug fixes,
amongst which:

  * Better TLS connection setup timeout handling, which makes getdns and
    stubby work better with DoT servers that are slow on initial
    connection (because they might be under attack).

  * Correct handling of UDP Payload size by getdns servers


This release has a Stubby version 0.3.0-rc.1 included, also modified for
the CMake build tools and updated with a few fixes.

Please review these release candidates carefully, if all is well, the
actual release will follow Friday the 28th of February.
