Hi, we are getting closer to a stable release of the Libevent 1.4.x series. Today, we announce release candidate 1.4.2-rc which you can download from:
http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.2-rc.tar.gz We expect this to be very close to the final release. Please, try it and let us know if you find any problems with it, so that we can fix them for the official release. There are a number of changes since 1.4.1-beta, but no major feature improvements: - New APIs - event_base_get_method() allows retrieval of the event mechanism used by libevent. - Bugfixes: - Solaris devpoll and event ports now get correctly initialized when calling event_reinit() after fork. Some interrupt issues have been fixed, too - HTTP/1.1 chunking now correctly includes CRLF after each chunk. - Portability: - Integer types are now better detected on various platforms - Python is no longer required to generate code for the regression tests See, the ChangeLog for more detail: http://levent.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/levent/branches/patches-1.4/libevent/ChangeLog?revision=664&view=markup Nick and I have also started maintaining a "What's New in Libevent 1.4" document that explains the main differences from the 1.3 series. You can see the latest draft at: https://levent.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/levent/branches/patches-1.4/libevent/whatsnew-14.txt A lot more development is happening in trunk. We expect major performance improvements and major API cleanups in the 1.5 or 2.0 release - whatever it is going to be. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this release by either submitting code or filing bug reports. Here are just a few names who helped make this release happen: W.C.A. Wijngaards, Springande Ulv, "propanbutan", Scott Lamb, and Tani Hosokawa. We really appreciate your help. To report a bug, make a feature request, or submit code, you can use our sourceforge interface here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/levent Thanks again, Niels. _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
