1Changes in version 2.1.12-stable (05 Jul 2020)
2
3 This release contains mostly bug fixes (I decided not to port some features
4 that can be ported even without ABI breakage, if you cannot find feature that
5 you are interested in, please give us a note!)
6
7 Since 2.1.12 libevent will use github actions as main CI, since
8 it recommends itself better then travis/appveyor (and had been removed from
9 upstream).

82Changes in version 2.1.11-stable (01 Aug 2019)
83
84 This release contains one ABI breakage fix (that had been introduced in
85 2.1.10, and strictly speaking this release breaks ABI again to make it
86 compatible with 2.1.9 and less, please take a look at 18104973 for more
87 details). Apart from that it contains some bug fixes, that grouped below.
88
89 And even though the return value for evbuffer_setcb() had been changed it
90 should ABI compatible (anyway that function is in -compat.h header).
91
92 There is also one patch that introduce new functionality, this is 546a366c,
93 to tune SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF in evdns, but one can count it as a bug-fix on
94 the application level, since before you cannot tune this settings and hence
95 you could stumble on problems.
96
97 ABI breakage:
98  o Protect min_heap_push_ against integer overflow. (8c899768 Tobias Stoeckmann)
99  o Revert "Protect min_heap_push_ against integer overflow." (18104973 Azat Khuzhin)
100

103
104 build:
105  o Change autoconf version to 2.62 and automake version to 1.11.2 (2a333008 yuangongji)

107  o Missing <winerror.h> on win7/MinGW(MINGW32_NT-6.1)/MSYS (9559349c yuangongji)
108  o cmake: set library names to be the same as with autotools (305251b9 yuangongji)

126
127
128Changes in version 2.1.10-stable (26 May 2019)
129
130 This release contains mostly fixes (some evbuffer oddity, AF_UNIX handling in
131 http server, some UB fixes and others) but also some new functionality
132 (without ABI breakage as usual) and now dist archive can be used for building
133 on windows (getopt had been added into it).
134

177
178Changes in version 2.1.9-beta (10 February 2019)
179
180 This changelog will differs from other releases in the next few clauses:
181 - contains only highlighted changes (so now it will not contains a lot of
182   patches that fixes some stuff in regression tests, typos, leaks fixes in
183   samples and so forth)
184 - no authors (since merge commits breaks them anyway, but AUTHORS sections in
185   README will be kept up to date)
186 - group name trimmed from commit subjects trimmed
187 - it's been 2 years since the previoius release, so it is pretty huge
188
189 And I think that this is more useful, so from now on it will always has the
190 same look (until there will too many objections of course).

1113Changes in version 2.1.3-alpha (1 May 2013)
1114
1115 Libevent 2.1.3-alpha fixes various bugs, adds new unit tests, and cleans
1116 up the code in a couple of places. It has a new callback in evhttp for
1117 reporting errors during a request, a new feature for allowing evdns to
1118 not keep the event_base looping when there are no requests inflight, and
1119 example code for writing an https client.
1120
1121 Libevent 2.1.3-alpha also has an important new (experimental) event
1122 finalization feature to allow safe event teardown in multithreaded
1123 programs. This ought to fix the longstanding bug with deadlocks in
1124 multithreaded use of SSL-based bufferevents that some people have been
1125 experiencing since Libevent 2.0.

1263Changes in version 2.1.2-alpha (18 Nov 2012)
1264
1265 Libevent 2.1.2-alpha includes more portable for monotonic timers,
1266 refactors much of Libevent's internal and external infrastructure,
1267 closes some longstanding gaps in the interface, makde other
1268 improvements.  Ths log below tries to organize features by rough area of
1269 effect.  It omits a few commits which were pure bugfixes on other commits
1270 listed below.  For more detail, see the git changelogs.  For more
1271 insight, see the "whatsnew-2.1.txt" document included in the Libevent
1272 2.1.2-alpha distribution.
1273
1274 Libevent 2.1.2-alpha also includes all changes made in 2.0.19-stable
1275 through 2.0.21-stable inclusive.
1276
1277 Performance (core):
1278   o Replace pipe-based notification with EVFILT_USER where possible. This
1279     should make multithreaded programs on OSX and *BSD alert the main thread a
1280     little faster. (53a07fe)
1281   o Make th_base_lock nonrecursive. (9cd5acb)
1282
1283 New/Changed API Functions:
1284   o New event_get_priority() function to return an event's priority (f90e255)
1285   o Add a bufferevent_get_priority() function (bd39554)
1286   o Add an event_base_loopcontinue() to tell Libevent to rescan for more
1287     events right away (7d6aa5e)
1288   o Add a new callback to get called on evbuffer_file_segment free
1289     (e9f8feb yangacer, 64051b9)
1290   o Expose event_base_foreach_event() as a public API. (84fd6d7 Roman
1291      Puls, 232055e, ffe1643)
1292   o Add an event_remove_timer() to remove timer on an event without
1293     deleting it (e3b2e08)
1294   o Make bufferevent_set_timeouts(bev, NULL, NULL) have plausible
1295     semantics (9dee36b)
1296   o Rename event_enable_lock_debuging() to ..._debugging(). (The old name
1297     should still work.) (07e132e)
1298   o Add missing implementation for event_enable_debug_logging (3b3e21d)
1299
1300 PORTABLE MONOTONIC TIMERS:
1301
1302   Libevent 2.1.2 includes internal support for monotonic timers on
1303   (nearly) all supported platforms, including Windows, and OSX.  Libevent
1304   applications should now be more resilient to jumps forwards or backwards
1305   in the system clock.  Also, on Linux systems with epoll, we now
1306   optionally support microsecond-level timeouts (whereas epoll only
1307   supports millisecond-precision timeouts).
1308
1309   o Use mach_absolute_time() for monotonic clock support on OSX. (b8fd6f9)
1310   o Do not track use_monotonic field when is no monotonic clock (cb653a0)
1311   o EVENT_BASE_FLAG_PRECISE_TIMER indicates we want fine timer precision
1312     (ddd69d3)
1313   o On Linux, use CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE by default (55780a7)
1314   o Implement a GetTickCount-based monotonic timer for Windows (d5e1d5a)
1315   o Refactor monotonic timer handling into a new type and set of
1316     functions; add a gettimeofday-based ratcheting implementation (f5e4eb0)
1317   o Add EVENT_PRECISE_TIMER environment var for selecting precise-but-slow
1318     timer (a2598ec)
1319   o Implement fast/precise monotonic clocks on Windows (2c47045)
1320   o Simple unit tests for monotonic timers (630f077)
1321   o Improve the monotonic-time unit test: make it check the step size (7428c78)
1322   o When PRECISE_TIMERS is set with epoll, use timerfd for microsecond
1323     precision (26c7582)
1324   o Split out time-related evutil functions into a new evutil_time.c (c419485)
1325   o Split out time-related prototypes into time-internal.h (71bca50)
1326   o Add evutil_time.obj to Makefile.nmake (0ba0683)
1327   o Avoid giving a spurious warning when timerfd support is unavailable
1328     (1aaf9f0 Dave Hart)
1329   o Make test_evutil_monotonic a little more tolerant (def3b83)
1330   o Avoid unused-var warning on systems with clock_gettime but without
1331     CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE (9be5468)
1332
1333EVENT_BASE_ONCE LEAKS:
1334   If a callback added by event_base_once() is never invoked, Libevent no
1335   longer leaks internal memory.
1336
1337   o Free dangling event_once objects on event_base_free() (c17dd59)
1338   o Add a unit test in which an event is created with event_base_once()
1339     but never fires (4343edf)
1340
1341TESTING SUPPORT, FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS:
1342
1343   Libevent now disables by default its unit tests that would touch the
1344   network, or that tend to fail on heavily-loaded systems.  To re-enable
1345   them, invoke the ./test/regress program with the @all alias.
1346
1347   o Simplify test.sh code significantly. (9b856fd Ross Lagerwall)
1348   o Make all tests that hit the network disabled by default (f2cea87)
1349   o Avoid a resource leak on error in http client benchmark (ea92fba)
1350   o Update to latest tinytest (911b4f0349377) (ef7c4f7)
1351   o Avoid (unlikely) overflow in bench_httpclient.c (5671033)
1352   o Shave 700 msec off the persistent_timeout_jump test (21205b8)
1353   o Check return value of write() in regress.c (c8009d2)
1354   o Make load-dependent monotonic timer tests off-by-default (2b6fe8b)
1355   o Add deferred_cb_skew to list of timing-dependent tests (34c8f31)
1356   o Avoid test -e; older shs don't have one. (f1bd938)
1357   o Fix renegotiation test to work around openssl 1.0.1 bug (c2f3086)
1358   o Fix a couple of compile warnings in the unit tests (5a9a014)
1359
1360MISC:
1361   o Change evutil_weakrand_() to avoid platform random() (e86af4b Nicholas
1362     Marriott, 3aa4415)
1363
1364INFRASTRUCTURE (Active-later events):
1365   As a simplification and optimization to Libevent's "deferred callback"
1366   logic (introduced in 2.0 to avoid callback recursion), Libevent now
1367   treats all of its deferrable callback types using the same logic it uses
1368   for active events.  Now deferred events no longer cause priority
1369   inversion, no longer require special code to cancel them, and so on.
1370
1371   o Refactor the callback part of an event into its own event_callback
1372     type (cba59e5)
1373   o Add "active later" event_callbacks to supersede deferred (745a63d)
1374   o event_base_assert_ok: check value of event_active_count for
1375     correctness (fec8bae)
1376   o Replace deferred_cbs with event_callback-based implementation. (ae2b84b)
1377   o Replace more deferred_cb names with event_callback (a4079aa)
1378   o Give event_base_process_active a single exit path (581b5be)
1379   o Restore our priority-inversion-prevention code with deferreds (c0e425a)
1380   o Refactor event_persist_closure: raise and extract some common logic
1381     (bec22b4)
1382   o Remove the unused bits from EVLIST_ALL (9889a3d)

1877
1878 Libevent 2.1.1-alpha includes a number of new features and performance
1879 improvements.  The log below tries to organize them by rough area of
1880 effect.  It omits some commits which were pure bugfixes on other commits
1881 listed below.  For more detail, see the git changelogs.  For more
1882 insight, see the "whatsnew-2.1.txt" document included in the Libevent
1883 2.1.1-alpha distribution.
1884
1885 Performance: Core
1886   o Replace several TAILQ users with LIST. LIST can be a little faster than
1887     TAILQ for cases where we don't need queue-like behavior. (f9db33d,
1888     6494772, d313c29, 974d004)
1889   o Disabled code to optimize the case where we reinsert an existing

1891   o Remove a needless base-notify when rescheduling the first timeout (77a96fd)
1892   o Save a needless comparison when removing/adjusting timeouts (dd5189b)
1893   o Possible optimization: split event_queue_insert/remove into
1894     separate functions. needs testing (efc4dc5)
1895   o Make event_count maintenance branchless at the expense of an
1896     extra shift. Needs benchmarking (d1cee3b)
1897   o In the 2.1 branch, let's try out lazy gettimeofday/clock_gettime
1898     comparison (2a83ecc)
1899   o Optimization in event_process_active(): ignore maxcb & endtime
1900     for highest priority events. (a9866aa Alexander Drozdov)
1901   o Bypass event_add when using event_base_once() for a 0-sec timeout (35c5c95)
1902   o Remove the eventqueue list and the ev_next pointers. (604569b 066775e)
1903

1913     sockets (a1c042b)
1914   o Minimize syscalls during socket creation in listener.c (7e9e289)
1915   o Use a wrapper function to create the notification
1916     pipe/socketpair/eventfd (ca76cd9)

1918   o Save syscalls when constructing listener sockets for evhttp (af6c9d8)
1919   o Save some syscalls when creating evdns sockets (713e570)
1920   o Save some syscalls when constructing a socket for a bufferevent (33fca62)
1921   o Prefer epoll_create1 on Linuxen that have it (bac906c)
1922
1923 Performance: Epoll backend
1924   o Use current event set rather than current pending change when
1925     deciding whether to no-op a del (04ba27e Mike Smellie)
1926   o Replace big chain of if/thens in epoll.c with a table lookup (8c83eb6)
1927   o Clean up error handling in epoll_apply_one_change() a little (2d55a19)
1928
