.. warning::
It is not yet possible to use arrays of arrays in external functions.
-.. warning::
- Due to limitations of the EVM, it is not possible to return
- dynamic content from external function calls. The function ``f`` in
- ``contract C { function f() returns (uint[]) { ... } }`` will return
- something if called from web3.js, but not if called from Solidity.
-
- The only workaround for now is to use large statically-sized arrays.
-
+.. note::
+ In EVM versions before Byzantium, it was not possible to access
+ dynamic arrays return from function calls. If you call functions
+ that return dynamic arrays, make sure to use an EVM that is set to
+ Byzantium mode.
