 # Changelog
 
+## [1.9.1](https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/commits/mdns-v1.9.1)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fix to use tagged AFL image + minor format fix ([2b2f009a](https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/commit/2b2f009a))
+- Fix unused variable `dcst` warning for wifi-remote chips ([081eef88](https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/commit/081eef88))

+
+### Features
+
+- support null value for boolean txt records ([fa96de3b](https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/commit/fa96de3b))
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Add test case for bool/NULL txt handling ([5068f221](https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/commit/5068f221))
+- Temporary fix for build issues on IDF master ([0197c994](https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/commit/0197c994))

+- Host test to use hw_support include dir ([8bba3a97](https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/commit/8bba3a97))
+- Fixes case where we create our own malloc/free allocators, therefore we need to call mdns_mem_free and not free ([63bf7091](https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/commit/63bf7091))
