Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is now supported in the socket stream interface.
A new type
comm:ipv6-address
represents IPv6 addresses which can now be returned by
comm:get-host-entry
.
Functions already accepting an IPv4 address argument, such as
comm:open-tcp-stream
,
comm:start-up-server
,
comm:ip-address-string
and so on have been extended to accept a
comm:ipv6-address
instead.
The scope ID is supported and a new function
comm:parse-ipv6-address
converts a string to a
comm:ipv6-address
.
