From a functional point of view, the main improvement is that GetIP() now always prioritizes IPv6 over IPv4.
The previous implementation always returned an IPv4 address, unless not available: in such case it failed.
This means that now connections to hostnames should be established via IPv6 if available.
From a programmer point of view, getting rid of the insane wrappers is enough to justify a complete rewrite.
As an extra, several unrelated unused global variables are removed.
- Hash() has been removed because it was ambiguous, Md5() and Sha0() are proper replacements.
- HMacMd5() and HMacSha1() now share a common implementation handled by the new Internal_HMac() function.
- NewMd() and MdProcess() now support plain hashing (without the key).
- NewMd(), SetMdKey() and MdProcess() now check the OpenSSL functions' return value and in case of failure a debug message is printed along with the error string, if available.
- SetMdKey()'s return value has been changed from void to bool, so that it's possible to know whether the function succeeded or not.
- MdProcess()' return value has been changed from void to UINT (unsigned int) and the function now returns the number of bytes written by HMAC_Final() or EVP_DigestFinal_ex().
