   Changelog for the c-ares project
 
+* Jul 16 2008 (Yang Tse)
+- Improved configure detection of number of arguments for getservbyport_r.
+  Detection is now based on compilation checks instead of linker ones.
+
 * Jul 15 2008 (Yang Tse)
 - Introduce definition of _REENTRANT symbol in setup.h to improve library
   usability.  Previously the configure process only used the AC_SYS_LARGEFILE

  o allow --enable-largefile and --disable-largefile configurations
  o configure process no longer needs nor checks size of curl_off_t
  o library will now be built with _REENTRANT symbol defined
+ o Improved configure detection of number of arguments for getservbyport_r
 
 Thanks go to these friendly people for their efforts and contributions:
