[Libevent-users] ANN: Libevent 2.0.16-stable is released

[Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, everyone!

Announcing Libevent 2.0.16-stable
=================================

Libevent 2.0.16-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 2.0.16-stable
====================================

This release fixes a few more issues, most notably: an assertion failure in
evbuffers, some CPU-spinning problems in bufferevent_openssl, and some
problems constructing an event_base on Windows machines where AV software
prevents us from opening a port on 127.0.0.1.  If you're affected by one of
these issues, then 2.0.16-stable should improve matters for you.

Here's the ChangeLog for this release:

BUGFIXES (core):
 o More detailed message in case of libevent self-debugging failure.

 o Warn when unable to construct base because of failing
make_base_notifiable (4e797f3)
 o Don't try to make notifiable event_base when no threading fns are
configured (e787413)

BUGFIXES (evbuffer):
 o unit test for remove_buffer bug (90bd620 Greg Hazel)
 o Fix an evbuffer crash in evbuffer_remove_buffer() (c37069c)

BUGFIXES (bufferevent_openssl):
 o Refactor amount-to-read calculations in buffervent_ssl
consider_reading() (a186e73 Mark Ellzey)
 o Move SSL rate-limit enforcement into bytes_to_read() (96c562f)
 o Avoid spinning on OpenSSL reads (2aa036f Mark Ellzey)

BUGFIXES (dns)
