Hello, all! 6 years, 50% of overall commits and Libevent 2.1.8-stable is out, 2.1 is finally stable!
You can get it from github: https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/download/release-2.1.8-stable/libevent-2.1.8-stable.tar.gz And if you have some problems/bugs, please create an issue here: https://github.com/libevent/libevent/issues (this is the official repository). There have only a few changes since 2.1.7-rc: - openssl fixes for resetting fd and using bufferevent_openssl_filter_new() - vagrant fixes - some build fixes - date in RFC1123 format and running tests in parallel. See ChangeLog and git log for full details. Since 2.0 there have been a great many changes. The ChangeLog[1] has an exhaustive list, and the whatsnew-2.1.txt[2] document has a more human-readable list. [1] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libevent/libevent/release-2.1.8-stable/ChangeLog [2] https://raw.github.com/libevent/libevent/master/whatsnew-2.1.txt Many thanks to all contributors (including bug reports / questions / e.t.c) who helped with making this release! (README[1] for a complete list of contributors) P.S. since 2.0.10-stable we had 123 contributors, while between 1.4.3-stable and 2.0.10-stable only 31. [1] https://github.com/libevent/libevent/blob/master/README.md#3-acknowledgments And after year or so 2.0.x support will be stopped. So it is a good motive to start using 2.1. This release was tested on 7 OS'es (see Vagrantfile[1] for full list and set of scripts).
