  • Security:

    • Avoid theoretical buffer overflow in RC4 loop comparison (GH#336)

    • Empty hquery->name could lead to invalid memory access (GH#367)

    • ares_parse_{a,aaaa}_reply() could return a larger *naddrttls than was passed in (GH#371)

  • Changes:
    • Update help information for adig, acountry, and ahost (GH#334)

    • Test Suite now uses dynamic system-assigned ports rather than hardcoded ports to prevent failures in containers (GH#346)

    • FQDN with trailing period should be queried first (GH#345)

    • ares_getaddrinfo() was returning members of the struct as garbage values if unset, and was not honouring ai_socktype and ai_protocol hints (GH#343, GH#317)

    • ares_gethostbyname() with AF_UNSPEC and an IP address would fail (GH#204)

    • Properly document ares_set_local_ip4() uses host byte order (GH#368)
