v2.3.2 - Native Resolver Simplification

on GitHub

Breaking Changes

The runtime --dns-resolver=system|async option has been removed. Official builds no longer ship c-ares or advertise Async DNS; ordinary URL transfers now use libcurl's native resolver path.

Summary

Aria2 Next 2.3.2 simplifies DNS handling, removes the c-ares release dependency, and keeps release artifacts aligned with the native resolver path across supported platforms.

Changed

• Removed c-ares from release dependency metadata, CI, Docker build images, release workflows, and release smoke expectations.
• Removed Async DNS feature reporting from --version and JSON-RPC version metadata.
• Removed manual CURLOPT_RESOLVE injection and restored libcurl-owned redirect handling for ordinary URL transfers.

Fixed

• Metadata HEAD probing now falls back to a range probe when servers return HTTP 403, improving compatibility with hosts that reject HEAD requests.
