libevent v2.1.9-beta Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-02-10 // about 5 years ago
  • ๐Ÿ†• New 2.1.x release is out - 2.1.9-beta. The reason why it is beta, is
    ๐Ÿ‘ because it is better to have few weeks (or more) to know about possible
    problems (although I'm pretty sure that it is good enough to be
    stable).

    2.1.9 contains almost all patches from 2.2 (since 2.2 contains almost
    ๐Ÿ› bug fixes only, except I guess only few patches or so), and it is pretty
    โœ… stable in regression tests, but not without failures (some flackiness
    still presented), although this is not the problem of libevent itself,
    โœ… but it's tests.

    I'm not going to attach ChangeLog here (since it is pretty large), but
    for those who is curios you can find it here:
    ๐Ÿš€ https://raw.github.com/libevent/libevent/release-2.1.9-beta/ChangeLog

    ๐Ÿ— It has been tested in next environment (with both cmake/autotools build
    systems):

    • ubuntu
    • freebsd
    • osx
    • ๐Ÿ windows
    • netbsd
    • solaris
    • centos

    As usual, many thanks (especially for those how reminded about making
    ๐Ÿ†• new releases) to everyone who helped with
    โœ… debugging/backporting/reporting/testing and fixing issues!

    (please note, that you need "libevent-2.1.9-beta.tar.gz" not "Source
    code" links, since later requires running ./autogen.sh)
