@davereid hi, fancy meeting you here! This looks cool, is it specifically for .local virtualhosts? Did a very quick bit of research and found http://stackoverflow.com/a/17982964/771643. Maybe you can provide more background.

I think if we add this it would be nice to add a blank line after so that the hosts would be "grouped":

127.0.0.1  example.dev
::1  example.dev

127.0.0.1 example2.dev
::1  example2.dev

Please merge that pull request because on freshly installed OSX 10.10 (not updated from previous versions) IPv6 is enabled by default and entries with only IPv4 address in hosts are not working! I've spent 2 days looking for a solution to this problem and it would be nice to have this sorted out of the box.

@8draco8 the pull request doesn't merge cleanly and I would like the host entries to be grouped if we go this route. Otherwise I have no objections to this, although I'm not sure why IPv4 wouldn't work – that seems troubling. Can you make a new issue/PR please? I would also love to see some resources to back up what you're saying, it sounds like you're saying the defaults are different for fresh install vs. upgrade.

@cottser Also, hah, I had no idea you maintained this. :)

@davereid Thanks! I just started maintaining this last summer because I was using it a lot and @pgib agreed to move it to a GH organization and let me at it :)

According to my research OS X during update is keeping user settings like wallpapers, colours of bars etc. I didn't find any exact pointers to IPv6 setting but I assume it's just another setting that is leaved as user specific setting. That's why on new installations default is different than on update ones
