Updating to dnsmasq 2.90 on 23.05.2 running on x86_64, I get:

The dnsmasq 2.90 seems to work fine despite that, anyone else has this problem with libubus?

i've a few devices on production with 23.05.x, do I need to update this package? or I can wait until next stable version? do I benefit upgrading this dnsmasq right now?

I've already upgraded to it, but I haven't seen that error.

However, I've noticed that you're using the dnsmas-full pkg, and I've only upgraded from the standard Dnsmasq.

Either way, seems to be working good.

There are a few CVE security issues fixed and there are some new options added (like filter-rr that can filter out dns replies that are not A or AAAA).

Here is the full changelog: https://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/CHANGELOG

If you don't use or need any of these features, you could wait for the next update, which seems to be coming relatively soon.
