bufferevent_openssl_filter_new(). vagrant fixes, some build fixes, increased
timeout for some tests (to reduce number of failures due to timing issues),
date in RFC1123 format and running tests in parallel.
Supposedly API backwards-compatible with libevent 1.x.
Will need a recursive revbump for shlib name changes, though.
All regression tests pass except "thread_conditions_simple". Not sure
why yet, but it's new API so shouldn't break anything existing in pkgsrc
today.
Changes in libevent 2.0 include cleaner interfaces, buffered I/O improvements,
improved multithreading and openssl integration.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
Changes in 1.4.9-stable:

1.4.3-stable:
1.4.2-rc:
* make Solaris event subsystems more reliable; from W.C.A. Wijngaards
* event_base_get_method(); from Springande Ulv
* fix HTTP/1.1 chunk formatting; from "propanbutan"
* allow 64-bit content lengths; from Scott Lamb
* and more...
1.4.1-beta:
* fixed some memory leaks and other misc cleanup; from Christopher Layne,
Scott Lamb and Charles Kerr
* introduced event_reinit to deal with fork()
* improved efficiency of generated RPC structure
* performance improvements to Win32 backend
* and many more...
1.4.0-beta:
* a new RPC subsytem for writing distributed clients and servers
* almost everything is documented via Doxygen now
* many fixes and improvements to evdns and evhttp
* libevent now builds two additional libraries: libevent_core (containing only
the event core) and libevent_extras (contained evdns, evhttp and evrpc)
* performance improvements due to using a heap instead of red-black trees for
timeouts
* Solaris' event ports are better supported
1.3e:
* Fix compilation on Solaris; from Magne Mahre
* Add a "Date" header to HTTP responses when it's missing, as required by
HTTP 1.1. Original Patch from Ralph Moritz.
* Fix a memory leak in which failed HTTP connections whould not free the
request object.
* Fix a memory leak in the DNS server.
* Handle NULL timeouts correctly on Solaris; from Trond Norbye
* Recalculate pending events properly when reallocating event array on
Solaris; from Trond Norbye
libevent-1.3d:
Bug fixes in the HTTP layer.
libevent-1.3c:
Small bug and portability fixes.
Worth mentioning is that patch-ab and patch-ac were applied upstream.
As usual with libevent, this breaks the ABI due to .so naming, so a
small revbump sweep will be needed.
1.3b:
* Fixes when using signals in multi-threaded applications from Scott Lamb.
* Other small bug fixes.
1.3a:
* Small bug and performances fixes to evhttp layer.
1.3:
* DNS Server from Adam Langley and Nick Mathewson
* Chunked transfer encoding for HTTP/1.1 from Dug Song.
* DNS DDoS fix; bug report from Jon Oberheide.
* Various small improvements.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
no longer correct since update to libevent 1.x; it now uses libtool and
generates a shlib.
Remove the offending bl3 line, and bump all dependents' PKGREVISIONs, since
the binary pkg changes for any OS that doesn't have a sufficient builtin
libevent version (or the package has requested a non-builtin version).
