    Log Message:
    Replace deprecated inet_ntoa and inet_addr function calls

    Use inet_ntop and inet_pton instead.

    Use 32-bit arguments and return values for IPv4 addressess for all target platforms (ulong is 64-bit on LP64, e.g. Linux-x64, targets).

    Log Message:
    Add iniGetIntInRange() for range-enforced integer values

    If you're going to use a read key value as say, an index into fixed-length array, then you better be sure it's within an expected range.

    Add functions for reading/getting/settings 64-bit ints/uints

    No immediate use, but I thought I had one. I didn't. Still, will probably need these one day.

    Log Message:
    Add iniGetClampedInt() to return an int key val clamped to a min/max range

    Very similar to iniGetIntInRange(), but the default value is only returned
    if the key or value is missing.

    Modified Files:
    src/xpdev/ini_file.c ini_file.h
    Log Message:
    The iniFree*StringList() functions now return the type passed

    This helps with C++ callers that use the short-hand syntax:
    list = iniFreeStringList(list)

    ... with C++'s increased type-safety, you can't just assign void* around willy-nilly.

    Modified Files:
    src/xpdev/ini_file.c ini_file.h
    Log Message:
    Create iniGetSparseStringList()

    iniGetStringList() treats consecutive separators as a single separator and
    I needed to be able to load sparse lists from .ini files for the upcoming "multiple loadable modules" feature of Synchronet.
