The mirrors should have it shortly.

     Aside from the changes in 5.0.58, this release fixes several bugs of
varying severity in the socket and configuration file handling code.  I've
also added 64-bit integer types (int64 and uint64), which are checked for
by the configure script; you'll now need a compilation environment that
supports either int64_t or a 64-bit long or long long type in order to
compile Services (hopefully everybody has that by now).

2006/06/22	Corrected handling of nested socket callbacks.
