New 2.1.x release is out - 2.1.9-beta. The reason why it is beta, is 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 bug fixes only, except I guess only few patches or so), and it is pretty stable in regression tests, but not without failures (some flackiness still presented), although this is not the problem of libevent itself, 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: https://raw.github.com/libevent/libevent/release-2.1.9-beta/ChangeLog

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

• ubuntu
• freebsd
• osx
• windows
• netbsd
• solaris
• centos

As usual, many thanks (especially for those how reminded about making new releases) to everyone who helped with 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)
