## c-ares version 1.29.0 - May 24 2024
This is a feature and bugfix release.
Features:
* When using `ARES_OPT_EVENT_THREAD`, automatically reload system
configuration
when network conditions change. [PR
#759](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/759)
* Apple: reimplement DNS configuration reading to more accurately pull DNS
settings. [PR #750](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/750)
* Add observability into DNS server health via a server state callback,
invoked
whenever a query finishes. [PR
#744](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/744)
* Add server failover retry behavior, where failed servers are retried with
small probability after a minimum delay. [PR
#731](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/731)
Changes:
* Mark `ares_channel_t *` as const in more places in the public API. [PR
#758](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/758)
Bugfixes:
* Due to a logic flaw dns name compression writing was not properly
implemented
which would result in the name prefix not being written for a partial match.
This could cause issues in various record types such as MX records when
using
the deprecated API. Regression introduced in 1.28.0. [Issue
#757](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/issues/757)
* Revert OpenBSD `SOCK_DNS` flag, it doesn't do what the docs say it does and
causes c-ares to become non-functional. [PR
#754](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/754)
* `ares_getnameinfo()`: loosen validation on `salen` parameter. [Issue
#752](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/issues/752)
* cmake: Android requires C99. [PR
#748](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/748)
* `ares_queue_wait_empty()` does not honor timeout_ms >= 0. [Issue
#742](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/742)
