Hi, this is just a short mail summarizing the current status of libuv in Debian. If you don't care about Debian (and the plethora of Debian-based) environments, you can just skip it :)
We are currently shipping two branches in parallel: libuv (the 0.10.x branch) and libuv1 (the 1.x branch). Both libraries can be discovered via pkg-config. Regarding current stable (8 / jessie), we were unfortunately already past the freeze point when libuv1 was tagged, so it only contains libuv (0.10.28). However, we try to always provide newer version via jessie-backports: right now this provides both newer libuv (0.10.36) and libuv1 (1.6.1). Regarding current testing, at the moment we are experiencing two regressions across multiple architectures[0][1]. For this reason, we are still stuck with 1.6.1. As a positive note, both libuv and libuv1 builds have been verified to be fully reproducible[2][3]. Finally, the freeze for the next stable is scheduled for 5th December 2016. I know this is > 1y from now, but if there is any plan for a libuv2 it would be great to try to finalize it before that date.
