Revision history for Perl extension EV

        - further optimise epoll backend by adding a heuristic that
          avoids EPOLL_CTL_DEL calls if possible.
        - EV::signal->start was not async-signal safe.
        - fix some aliasing issues w.r.t. timers and periodics
          (not relevant for perl).
        - optimise start/stop when the fd hasn't changed.

1.8  Tue Dec 11 22:17:46 CET 2007
        - API version 3:0.
        - reduced fudge factor to zero for select, poll, epoll
          and kqueue: your system better be posix-compliant
          even in its extensions :->
        - improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers
          by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at.
        - recalculate real/monotonic clocks before blocking fully
          to avoid blocking for longer than necessary.
        - fix bugs in the heap functions. this rarely lead to illegal
          heap orderings.

1.72 Sat Dec  8 15:31:26 CET 2007
        - add dummy loop arguments to some EVAPI functions
          so that clients can use EV_A and EV_DEFAULT.
        - expose ev_clear_pending.
        - renamed trigger to invoke.

1.71 Fri Dec  7 19:10:24 CET 2007
        - changed/implemented idle watcher priority.
        - allow out-of-range priorities to be set.
        - fix ->priority to actually work on started watchers.
        - improved testsuite.

1.6  Wed Dec  5 15:06:20 CET 2007
        - add a missing SPAGAIN.
        - ripped out EV::DNS, use EV::ADNS for a better backend.
        - make ev_time callable from EVAPI.h.
        - add EV::loop_count.
        - some space optimisations.

1.5  Wed Nov 28 20:19:09 CET 2007
        - add inotify backend.
        - make testsuite even less sensible to timing issues,
          add more stat tests.
        - add ->attr, ->prev, ->stat calls to stat watcher.

1.4  Tue Nov 27 17:35:27 CET 2007
        - work around a linux 2.4 kernel bug in child handlers.
        - implement stat watcher interface.
        - implement fork watcher interface.
        - io->set did not keep the fh alive.
        - actively check signal numbers/names to be valid.
        - cleanups, minor fixes, new bugs.
        - work around windows bugs in the testsuite.

1.3  Sun Nov 25 10:46:57 CET 2007
        - stopping idle/check/prepare watchers could cause data corruption.
        - implement and document EV::once.
        - improved documentation, verify that netbsd indeed has the only
          working kqueue implementation (out of darwin, freebsd, netbsd and
          openbsd). Praise them!
        - fix the data method so it might work.
        - expose ev_ref/ev_unref to the C API.
        - expose ref/unref in form of the ->keepalive method to perl.
        - minor bugfixes and portability fixes.

1.2  Thu Nov 22 05:44:09 CET 2007
        - disable kqueue by default on !netbsd, as its broken on freebsd,
          darwin and openbsd and thus almost everywhere.
        - add some allowance in t/01_timer.t for the uneven monotonic
          vs. realtime clock tick on at least freebsd.
        - add -lsocket -lnsl on solaris in case the perl guy forgot to
          configure them.

1.1  Wed Nov 21 06:08:48 CET 2007

          documentation update (reported by Andy Grundman).

0.9  Wed Nov 14 22:24:49 CET 2007

          way this is used inside libev.
        - many, many bugfixes.
        - add unloop constants.
