*
- * This library was not widely used yet, it lack some testing. Because templates
- * are not even compiled when they are not used, don't be surprised if you catch
- * a piece of code that don't even compiled yet because the lack of testing. The
- * library has no support for buffered events yet either. It doesn't support the
- * http stuff, and probably never will because that has nothing to do with event
- * handling.
- *
- * If you notice that when using @eventxx your program leaks some memory, don't
- * blame me, blame @libevent :) @libevent has a known bug on @c event_base_free()
- * that makes it assert always, so @c event_base_free() it's unusable, unless you
- * patch your libevent (for example, using this <a
- * href="http://monkeymail.org/archives/libevent-users/2006-April/000141.html">patch</a>
- * written by Mark D. Anderson, and who knows why it's not still applied. If you
- * do so, you can compile your programs with @c -DEVENT_BASE_FREE_FIX so
- * @c event_base_free() gets called in the eventxx::dispatcher @link
- * eventxx::dispatcher::~dispatcher() destructor @endlink.
- *
- * That said, I think it's still pretty usable anyways. If something is broken
- * it would be really easy to fix it because is just a simple wrapper around
- * @libevent. So, please try it out, and if you have any problems,

+ * This library has not been widely used yet, but it's used in some serious
+ * projects, so I think it's moderately stable now. The library has no support
+ * for buffered events yet, but patches are welcome. It doesn't support the
+ * HTTP stuff, and probably never will because that has nothing to do with
+ * event handling.
+ *
+ * @libevent had a memory leak before version 1.3b (before 1.2 it didn't even
+ * had a way free that memory, from version 1.2 to 1.3a, if you tried to free the
+ * memory the program abort() because a failed assertion). Because of that,
+ * there is a way to disable the @link eventxx::dispatcher::~dispatcher()
+ * destructor @endlink (which calls the inexistent/broken @c event_base_free()
+ * function). So if you use a @libevent version previous to 1.3b, you have to
+ * compile your programs defining the EVENTXX_NO_EVENT_BASE_FREE macro.
+ *
+ * If something is broken it would be really easy to fix because @eventxx is
+ * just a simple wrapper around @libevent. So, please try it out, and if you
+ * have any problems, <a href="mailto:llucax+eventxx@gmail.com">drop me an
* e-mail</a> and and I'll fix it ASAP (or provide a patch and you will be my
* best friend ;).
*
- * Patches to support buffered events are welcome too.
- *
+ * If you use this library, please drop me an e-mail with your thoughts, or
+ * simply saying "I use it", so I can keep track of how many people really use
