lo, everyone! Announcing Libevent 2.0.18-stable =================================
Libevent 2.0.17-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 2.0.18-stable ==================================== This is a very small bugfix release. If you use evdns, you should upgrade. This release might also fix some rare and confusing kqueue bugs. Here's the ChangeLog for this release: BUGFIXES (core): o Make uses of open() close-on-exec safe by introducing an internal evutil_open_closeonexec. (d2b5f72 Ross Lagerwall, 03dce42) BUGFIXES (kqueue): o Properly zero the kevent in kq_setup_kevent() (c2c7b39 Sebastian Hahn) BUILD FIXES: o Added OPENSSL_LDFLAGS env variable which is appended to SSL checks. (9278196 Mark Ellzey) o Changed OPENSSL_LDFLAGS to OPENSSL_LIBADD (2d67b63 Mark Ellzey) o Don't do clang version detection when disabling some flags (083296b Sebastian Hahn) BUGFIXES (dns): o Stop crashing in evdns when nameserver probes give a weird error (bec5068) Fun facts about Libevent 2.0.18-stable ====================================== At only 295 lines,the diff for this release is the very smallest in the 2.0.x series. Who knows, perhaps it's time to put out a 2.1.1-alpha!
