Version2.37 of the GNU C Library has been released. This looks like arelatively 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 also a security fix for CVE-2022-39046:

When the syslog function is passed a crafted input string larger than 1024 bytes, it reads uninitialized memory from the heap and prints it to the target log file, potentially revealing a portion of the contents of the heap.

There is more information in the releasenotes.
