--Sig_/RYLq+W9ijaeM4BUTW=G3_XQ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Adding IPv6 support to a project like this is usually a trivial thing to do, nothing special. IMHO the cause of the lack of this feature in many projects is the lack of requirement. Nobody tells the developers that IPv6 support is needed. So, not a big deal.
