lo, everyone!

Announcing Libevent 2.0.18-stable
=================================

Libevent 2.0.17-stable is now tagged and released.  The package is
available from the *shiny new website* at http://libevent.org/ .

There are GPG signatures there too; you should probably verify them,
to make sure you get the software you think you are getting.

What's New in Libevent 2.0.18-stable
====================================

This is a very small bugfix release.  If you use evdns, you should
upgrade.  This release might also fix some rare and confusing kqueue
bugs.

Here's the ChangeLog for this release:

BUGFIXES (core):
 o Make uses of open() close-on-exec safe by introducing an internal
evutil_open_closeonexec. (d2b5f72 Ross Lagerwall, 03dce42)

BUGFIXES (kqueue):
 o Properly zero the kevent in kq_setup_kevent() (c2c7b39 Sebastian Hahn)

BUILD FIXES:
 o Added OPENSSL_LDFLAGS env variable which is appended to SSL checks.
(9278196 Mark Ellzey)
 o Changed OPENSSL_LDFLAGS to OPENSSL_LIBADD (2d67b63 Mark Ellzey)
 o Don't do clang version detection when disabling some flags (083296b
Sebastian Hahn)

BUGFIXES (dns):
 o Stop crashing in evdns when nameserver probes give a weird error (bec5068)


Fun facts about Libevent 2.0.18-stable
======================================

At only 295 lines,the diff for this release is the very smallest in the
