Are there future plans to add more utilities that layer on top of libevent? I do see the utility in lightweight http support (friendly debug interface to a daemon and such), but I've also appreciated libevent for being small and providing me an abstraction to the various underlying mechanisms. For example, are we going to see more framework type utilities in libevent proper, or leave them as addons. I ran across at least one criticism of libevent gaining too much other than pure event library: http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/wiki/EventLibrary For example, I as well as others have evolved code around libevent for dealing with threads and SSL, are we going to see support code eventually rolled in or will libevent stick primarily to be an event mechanism? Thanks for the great work! -- Jason _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkey.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
