The xauth program is used to edit and display the authorization
information used in connecting to the X server.

Support for using getaddrinfo() and inet_ntop() was originally added to
support IPv6, and only used if IPv6 support was enabled. Two decades later,
these interfaces are ubiquitous and OS'es have starting marking the old
interfaces as deprecated, so this release changes to use the modern interface
whenever we can now.  (Note that code included from libxtrans will only use
these interfaces when IPv6 is disabled if building against libxtrans 1.6.0
or later.)

Alan Coopersmith (7):
      Simplify ifdefs for IPv6 support
      if getaddrinfo() is available, use it, even if IPv6 support is disabled
      if inet_ntop() is available, use it, even if IPv6 support is disabled
      Avoid buffer overflow with long filenames in write_auth_file()
      Use remove() instead of unlink() to remove files
      get_displayname_auth: replace sprintf() with snprintf()
      xauth 1.1.4
