What's New in Libevent 2.0.14-stable
====================================

This release fixes a few miscellaneous bufferevent, openssl, and IOCP
bugs, a couple of memory leaks, and a few build issues. If you're
affected by one of these, then 2.0.14-stable should improve matters for
you.

Here's the ChangeLog for this release.
