Description
This is c-ares, an asynchronous resolver library. It is intended for applications which need to perform DNS queries without blocking, or need to perform multiple DNS queries in parallel. The primary examples of such applications are servers which communicate with multiple clients and programs with graphical user interfaces.
In the other systems
The newest version among them is 1.34.9, as upstream numbers it.

Version history 3
Upstream's version as each commit to the port's Makefile set it, or as this site first saw it in the system's packages; the tree's own revisions are not versions here.

Lucas Holt | dns/c-ares: update to 1.34.9 [security] (#1872) ## Summary
Update dns/c-ares from 1.34.8 to
[1.34.9](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/releases/tag/v1.34.9), a
security release from 2026-10-19 with 11 advisories:
- Memory corruption, or use-after-free, when an application:
- cancels lookups after a connection failure or from a callback
- shuts down a channel or a failed connection
- changes DNS servers from a callback
([GHSA-wpr3-8q3r-4q8c](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-wpr3-8q3r-4q8c),

Lucas Holt | dns/c-ares: update to 1.34.8 1.34.7 added const to the legacy ares_callback and ares_host_callback
typedefs. That is an API break: every consumer passing a non-const callback
stops compiling, which took out www/node20 through www/node25 and all
devel/py-grpcio flavors. Upstream reverted the change in 1.34.8.
The shared library version moves to libcares.so.2.19.7; the soname stays
libcares.so.2, so dependent ports need no revision bump.
