 . This is a security, feature, and bugfix release
 . Security:
  * Reading malformatted '`/etc/resolv.conf`', '`/etc/nsswitch.conf`' or the '`HOSTALIASES`' file could result in a crash ([[CVE:2024-25629|CVE-2024-25629]], https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-mg26-v6qh-x48q)

  * New '`ARES_FLAG_NO_DEFLT_SVR`' for '`ares_init_options()`' to return a failure if no DNS servers can be found rather than attempting to use '127.0.0.1'; this also introduces a new ares status code of '`ARES_ENOSERVER`' ([[https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/713|GH#713]])
