2 root 1.1
3 root 1.160 - play tester whore: disable some tests that typically fail only
4     on cpan tester machines.
5 root 1.159 - (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux.
6 root 1.160 - (libev) check port_getn return value dfferently, might potentially

10 root 1.155 - fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros).
11 root 1.156 - increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester
12     machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast
13     make test.
14 root 1.157 - possible 5.6 compatibility.
15 root 1.158 - (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it.

19 root 1.152 - (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events
20 root 1.151 and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but

22 root 1.150 - (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll

24     - (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away

27 root 1.151 not creating the object reference each time.
28 root 1.153 - EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun.
