Обсуждение: IPv6 Support in 8.0.3

Hello -

Hope this is an appropriate mailing list for this question.  Has anyone
gotten IPv6 support to work in version 8.0.3 for Windows?

I've tried the 8.2.4 binaries and they do work, so I know that the problem
has been addressed somewhere along the line, but I'm not in a position to
undergo such a migration at this time.

In doing some searches, I found hits for changes to getaddrinfo[.h/.c] and
include/port/win32/sys/socket.h.   Does anyone know if there are other
required changes?   Or can someone point me in the right direction on how
to find a complete set of changes to fix this?

thanks for any help/suggestions !

well ipv6 is only officially supported in 8.1 and later on windows and
you might better look into upgrading instead of trying to backport the
fixes to 8.0.3 which has a number of serious issues (both in general and
especially on win32) and will very soon be unsupported on that platform:
