Thanks.

Thank you for the pointers to the patches.

Are the patches merged upstream?

No; I don't think I've seen these before.  Also, there is no new
development happening on Libevent 1.4.x.  The stable release series is
2.0.x; new features are being added to 2.1.x.  I would only do a new
Libevent 1.4 release in the event that a critical security bug were
found.  I would definitely not accept patches into Libevent 1.4 to
implement new features!

Looking at the patches, they seem to divide into two broad areas:
  * Disabling the "timeval cache" feature in the main event loop... by
commenting it out.  This is already doable in Libevent 2.0 using a
run-time configuration option that turns it off on a per-program
basis.  Look at the EVENT_BASE_FLAG_NO_CACHE_TIME option.  There's
also been a thread on the libevent-users list about future directions
in this area; see
http://archives.seul.org/libevent/users/Aug-2011/msg00011.html and
subsequent comments for possible directions.

  * Adding some new features to evhttp.  Some of it looks interesting
and possibly generally of general utility, and getting a patch for
inclusion into Libevent 2.1 there would be grand; some of it looks
like stuff that you can already do in Libevent 2.0 and later with
other interfaces.  (See for example evhttp_bind_listener.)

cheers,

Hello,

I'm digging up old bugs on this package to clear them if possible.

This one looks not relevant anymore:
- it's about an old version
- the last message was over 13 years ago

Unless someone objects, I'll simply close it in the next days/weeks
