        * Version 5.3.0.
 
+       When chown or chgrp is modifying the referent of a symlink,
+       use the chown(2) function, if possible.
+       * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't hard-code the
+       open/fchown/close kludge here.  Use `chown' instead.
+       The chown function works just fine on conforming systems.
+       Other systems now go through the new chown wrapper that
+       resorts to the old kludge.
+
        * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add a comment.
