Version
2.37 of the GNU C Library has been released. This looks like a
relatively low-key release, with the one “major new feature” described as:

The getent tool now supports the –no-addrconfig option. The output
of getent with –no-addrconfig may contain addresses of families
not configured on the current host i.e. as-if you had not passed
AI_ADDRCONFIG to getaddrinfo calls.

There is more information in the release
notes.
