 - **Remote configs listener in the C API** — New `gameAnalytics_configureRemoteConfigsListener()` with `GARemoteConfigsListener` callback, making remote configs notifications usable from managed runtimes (e.g. Unity P/Invoke). Single listener; re-registering replaces it, `NULL` unregisters.
 
+### Changed

+- **Windows: static builds now use the dynamic MSVC runtime (`/MD`)** — All Windows builds (static and shared) now compile against the DLL runtime instead of `/MT` for static builds, matching what Unreal Engine and most consumers require. **Breaking for consumers linking the static library with `/MT`**: upgrading will produce an LNK2038 RuntimeLibrary mismatch; switch your project to `/MD` (`MultiThreadedDLL`).
