curl/RELEASE-NOTES
Daniel Stenberg 4c663ba9a8 When transferring 500 downloads in parallel with a c-ares enabled build only
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left
in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the
upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much
better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in
use.
