Hello, everyone! Announcing Libevent 2.0.16-stable =================================
Libevent 2.0.16-stable is now tagged and released. The package is available from the *shiny new website* at http://libevent.org/ . There are GPG signatures there too; you should probably verify them, to make sure you get the software you think you are getting. What's New in Libevent 2.0.16-stable ==================================== This release fixes a few more issues, most notably: an assertion failure in evbuffers, some CPU-spinning problems in bufferevent_openssl, and some problems constructing an event_base on Windows machines where AV software prevents us from opening a port on 127.0.0.1. If you're affected by one of these issues, then 2.0.16-stable should improve matters for you. Here's the ChangeLog for this release: BUGFIXES (core): o More detailed message in case of libevent self-debugging failure. (9e6a4ef Leonid Evdokimov) o epoll: close fd on alloc fail at initialization (1aee718 Jamie Iles) o Fix compile warning from saying event2/*.h inside a comment (447b0ba) o Warn when unable to construct base because of failing make_base_notifiable (4e797f3) o Don't try to make notifiable event_base when no threading fns are configured (e787413) BUGFIXES (evbuffer): o unit test for remove_buffer bug (90bd620 Greg Hazel) o Fix an evbuffer crash in evbuffer_remove_buffer() (c37069c) BUGFIXES (bufferevent_openssl): o Refactor amount-to-read calculations in buffervent_ssl consider_reading() (a186e73 Mark Ellzey) o Move SSL rate-limit enforcement into bytes_to_read() (96c562f) o Avoid spinning on OpenSSL reads (2aa036f Mark Ellzey) BUGFIXES (dns) o Empty DNS reply with OK status is another way to say NODATA. (21a08d6 Leonid Evdokimov) TESTING: o Tests for 94fba5b and f72e8f6 (d58c15e Leonid Evdokimov) o Test for commit aff6ba1 (f7841bf Leonid Evdokimov) o Style and comment tweaks for dns/leak* tests (5e42202) o improve test to remove at least one buffer from src (7eb52eb Greg Hazel) DOCUMENTATION: o Add note about evhttp_send_reply_end to its doxygen (724bfb5) o Update copyright dates to 2011.
