The alpha versions of Tor in CVS now require libevent to build. This does not affect you unless you build Tor from source. Switching to libevent will allow us to take advantage of different platform's high-performance Asynchronous IO notification facilities (epoll, kpoll, /dev/poll, etc). It will also remove some bogus resource limits on Windows, which has no poll() and the worst select() you could possibly imagine. The official libevent site is http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ . This site is sometimes slow or choppy, however. I have temporarily mirrored a copy of the latest libevent version at http://wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-1.0a.tar.gz . Yours, -- Nick Mathewson
