Hi everyone, we just released libevent 1.4.13-stable. You can download the source from:
http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.13-stable.tar.gz (don't forget to validate the pgp sig) This release fixes the following issues: - If the kernel tells us that there are a negative number of bytes to read from a socket, do not believe it. Fixes bug 2841177; found by Alexander Pronchenkov. - Do not allocate the maximum event queue and fd array for the epoll backend at startup. Instead, start out accepting 32 events at a time, and double the queue's size when it seems that the OS is generating events faster than we're requesting them. Saves up to 512K per epoll-based event_base. Resolves bug 2839240. - Fix compilation on Android, which forgot to define fd_mask in its sys/select.h - Do not drop data from evbuffer when out of memory; reported by Jacek Masiulaniec - Rename our replacement compat/sys/_time.h header to avoid build a conflict on HPUX; reported by Kathryn Hogg. - Build kqueue.c correctly on GNU/kFreeBSD platforms. Patch pulled upstream from Debian. - Fix a problem with excessive memory allocation when using multiple event priorities. - When running set[ug]id, don't check the environment. Based on a patch from OpenBSD. Thanks to everyone who reported bugs or supplied patches. Links to the bug tracker, change log, gpg sig, documentation, etc, can be found at: http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ On a related note, Nick has been working very hard on libevent-2.0 code and we hope to have a new alpha release ready soon.
