Changes in 1.4.12-stable:
Try to contain degree of failure when running on a win32 version so heavily firewalled that we can't fake a socketpair.
Fix an obscure timing-dependent, allocator-dependent crash in the evdns code.
Use __VA_ARGS__ syntax for varargs macros in event_rpcgen when compiler is not GCC.
Activate fd events in a pseudorandom order with O(N) backends, so that we don't systematically favor low fds (select) or earlier-added fds (poll, win32).
Fix another pair of fencepost bugs in epoll.c. [Patch from Adam Langley.]
Do not break evdns connections to nameservers when our IP changes.
Set truncated flag correctly in evdns server replies.
Disable strict aliasing with GCC: our code is not compliant with it.
Changes in 1.4.11-stable:
Fix a bug when removing a timeout from the heap. [Patch from Marko Kreen]
Remove the limit on size of HTTP headers by removing static buffers.
Fix a nasty dangling pointer bug in epoll.c that could occur after epoll_recalc(). [Patch from Kevin Springborn]
Distribute Win32-Code/event-config.h, not ./event-config.h
Changes in 1.4.10-stable:
clean up buffered http connection data on reset; reported by Brian O'Kelley
bug fix and potential race condition in signal handling; from Alexander Drozdov
rename the Solaris event ports backend to evport
support compilation on Haiku
fix signal processing when a signal callback delivers a signal; from Alexander Drozdov
const-ify some arguments to evdns functions.
off-by-one error in epoll_recalc; reported by Victor Goya
include Doxyfile in tar ball; from Jeff Garzik
correctly parse queries with encoded \r, \n or + characters
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:
o event_add would not return error for some backends; from Dean
McNamee
o Clear the timer cache on entering the event loop; reported by
Victor Chang

server connections
Changes in 1.4.8-stable:
o Match the query in DNS replies to the query in the request; from Vsevolod Stakhov.
o Fix a merge problem in which name_from_addr returned pointers to the stack; found by Jiang Hong.
o Do not remove Accept-Encoding header
Changes in 1.4.7-stable:
o Fix a bug where headers arriving in multiple packets were not parsed; fix from Jiang Hong; test by me.
Changes in 1.4.6-stable:
o evutil.h now includes <stdarg.h> directly
o switch all uses of [v]snprintf over to evutil
o Correct handling of trailing headers in chunked replies; from Scott Lamb.
o Support multi-line HTTP headers; based on a patch from Moshe Litvin
o Reject negative Content-Length headers; anonymous bug report
o Detect CLOCK_MONOTONIC at runtime for evdns; anonymous bug report
o Fix a bug where deleting signals with the kqueue backend would cause subsequent adds to fail
o Support multiple events listening on the same signal; make signals regular events that go on the same event queue; problem report by Alexander Drozdov.
o Deal with evbuffer_read() returning -1 on EINTR|EAGAIN; from Adam Langley.
o Fix a bug in which the DNS server would incorrectly set the type of a cname reply to a.
o Fix a bug where setting the timeout on a bufferevent would take not effect if the event was already pending.
o Fix a memory leak when using signals for some event bases; reported by Alexander Drozdov.
o Add libevent.vcproj file to distribution to help with Windows build.
o Fix a problem with epoll() and reinit; problem report by Alexander Drozdov.
o Fix off-by-one errors in devpoll; from Ian Bell

o Constify struct timeval * where possible; pointed out by Forest Wilkinson
o allow min_heap_erase to be called on removed members; from liusifan.
o Rename INPUT and OUTPUT to EVRPC_INPUT and EVRPC_OUTPUT. Retain INPUT/OUTPUT aliases on on-win32 platforms for backwards compatibility.
o Do not use SO_REUSEADDR when connecting
o Fix Windows build
o Fix a bug in event_rpcgen when generated fixed-sized entries
Changes in 1.4.4-stable:
o Correct the documentation on buffer printf functions.
o Don't warn on unimplemented epoll_create(): this isn't a problem, just a reason to fall back to poll or select.
o Correctly handle timeouts larger than 35 minutes on Linux with epoll.c. This is probably a kernel defect, but we'll have to support old kernels anyway even if it gets fixed.
o Fix a potential stack corruption bug in tagging on 64-bit CPUs.
o expose bufferevent_setwatermark via header files and fix high watermark on read
o fix a bug in bufferevent read water marks and add a test for them
o introduce bufferevent_setcb and bufferevent_setfd to allow better manipulation of bufferevents
o use libevent's internal timercmp on all platforms, to avoid bugs on old platforms where timercmp(a,b,<=) is buggy.
o reduce system calls for getting current time by caching it.
o fix evhttp_bind_socket() so that multiple sockets can be bound by the same http server.

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.

* DNS DDoS fix; bug report from Jon Oberheide.
* Various small improvements.
- configure script already has provision for different compiler inline
directives, just not every file was using it.
- u_intXX_t types need to be fixed in installed event.h too.
1.2a:
* Made HTTP support more usable
* Various portability fixes.
1.2:
* Support for non-blocking DNS resolution; from Adam Langley
and Nick Mathewson.
* Support for lightweight HTTP clients and servers.
* Support for Sun's Event Ports from David Pacheco of Sun.
* Bug fixes - thanks to Nick Mathewson for helping.
(However, anecdotal references in Tor 0.1.2.1's doc seem to indicate that
1.1b fixes more kqueue problems on Darwin/OSX.)
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).
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
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).
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
