About:
The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached. It is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event-driven network servers.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
This release features performance improvements to select and poll, a work around for the kqueue bug in Mac OS X 10.4, and prevention of data structure corruption when using epoll and deleting events after file descriptors have been closed - this happens only when using the API incorrectly.
