srelay 0.4.5 released

My SOCKS Proxy Server - srelay - now startig support
IPv6 addresses.
You may construct a GateWay between IPv4 world and IPv6.

0.4.5 is the first release of this feature, so,
- it's in alpha to beta quality.
- OS support is FreeBSD and RedHat Linux/386 for now.
- SOCKS-BIND function is incomplete in IPv6.
- needs more testing.

= NOTE =
I found something ...
It is side-effect of IPv6 supporting functions such as,
getaddrinfo(), IPv6 addresses can be treated as just a
string and the SOCKS server accepts it as if it were
domain name string. If your clients are clever enough
NOT to recognize IPv6 addresses, you may have chance
to passsing IPv6 addresses to the server.
