## c-ares version 1.34.5 - April 8 2025

This is a security release.

Security:
* CVE-2025-31498. A use-after-free bug has been uncovered in read_answers() that
  was introduced in v1.32.3.  Please see \ 
https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-6hxc-62jh-p29v

Changes:
* Restore Windows XP support.

Bugfixes:
* A missing mutex initialization would make busy polling for configuration
  changes (platforms other than Windows, Linux, MacOS) eat too much CPU
* Pkgconfig may be generated wrong for static builds in relation to `-pthread`
* Localhost resolution can fail if only one address family is in `/etc/hosts`

c-ares version 1.34.3 - November 9 2024

Features:
* adig: read arguments from adigrc.

  `ares_set_socket_function_ex()` to properly support all new functionality.
* Fix regression with custom socket callbacks due to DNS cookie support.
* ares_socket: set IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT on ares_set_local_ip* tcp sockets
* URI parser/writer for ares_set_servers_csv()/ares_get_servers_csv().

Changes:
* Connection handling modularization.

* Fix googletest v1.15 compatibility.
* Fix pkgconfig thread dependencies.
