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
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.
- 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.
