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

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

Changes in version 2.1.1-alpha (4 Apr 2012)
Libevent 2.1.1-alpha includes a number of new features and performance
improvements. The log below tries to organize them by rough area of
effect. It omits some commits which were pure bugfixes on other commits
listed below. For more detail, see the git changelogs. For more
insight, see the "whatsnew-2.1.txt" document included in the Libevent
2.1.1-alpha distribution.
Performance: Core
o Replace several TAILQ users with LIST. LIST can be a little faster than
TAILQ for cases where we don't need queue-like behavior. (f9db33d,

timeout (e47042f, 09cbc3d)
o Remove a needless base-notify when rescheduling the first timeout (77a96fd)
o Save a needless comparison when removing/adjusting timeouts (dd5189b)
o Possible optimization: split event_queue_insert/remove into
separate functions. needs testing (efc4dc5)
o Make event_count maintenance branchless at the expense of an
extra shift. Needs benchmarking (d1cee3b)
o In the 2.1 branch, let's try out lazy gettimeofday/clock_gettime
comparison (2a83ecc)
o Optimization in event_process_active(): ignore maxcb & endtime
for highest priority events. (a9866aa Alexander Drozdov)

o Remove the eventqueue list and the ev_next pointers. (604569b 066775e)
Performance: Evbuffers
o Roughly 20% speed increase when line-draining a buffer using
EVBUFFER_EOL_CRLF (5dde0f0 Mina Naguib)

deciding whether to no-op a del (04ba27e Mike Smellie)
o Replace big chain of if/thens in epoll.c with a table lookup (8c83eb6)
o Clean up error handling in epoll_apply_one_change() a little (2d55a19)
Performance: Evport backend
o evport: use evmap_io to track fdinfo status. Should save time and
RAM. (4687ce4)
o evport: Remove a linear search over recent events when
reactivating them (0f77efe)
o evport: Use portev_user to remember fdinfo struct (276ec0e)
o evport: don't scan more events in ed_pending than needed (849a5cf)
o evport: Remove artificial low limit on max events per getn call (c04d927)
o Reenable main/many_events_slow_add for evport in 2.1 (e903db3)
