 Changes for APR 2.0.0
 
+  *) apr_dir_read(): The returned finfo->name field is now duplicated
+     into the pool for all implementations.  [Joe Orton]
+
   *) apr_dir_pread(): Add function which restricts per-read memory
      consumption to a different pool to the apr_dir_t object.
      [Joe Orton]
