31.86 3 - (libev) fix some issues in the select backend when in fd_set mode.
4 - fix memleak on loop destroy (not relevant for perl). 4 - (libev) due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
5 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
6 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
7 - (libev) actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
8 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
9 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
10 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
11 should return fantasy port numbers.

133.51 Wed Dec 24 23:01:59 CET 2008
14 - do not cache the arguments passed to callbacks if the refcount
15 indicates that the callback has stolen them.
16 - (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux.
17 - (libev) check port_getn return value dfferently, might potentially
18 avoid problems.
19 - (libev) fix a bug with stat watchers possibly causing freezes.
20 - (libev) work around OS X 10.5 breaking poll, now select is the
21 only viable choice left on that pile of garbage.
22 - play tester whore: disable some tests that typically fail only
23 on cpan tester machines.
24
253.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
26 - fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros).
27 - increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester
28 machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast
29 make test.
30 - possible 5.6 compatibility.
31 - (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it.
32 - (libev) use inotify only as an added hint on network filesystems.
33
343.48 Thu Oct 30 09:09:48 CET 2008
35 - (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events
36 and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but
37 I didn't design epoll...).
38 - (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
39 backend in some cases.
40 - (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away
41 with the init functions.
42 - speed up event callback invocation further (~15%), by
43 not creating the object reference each time.
44 - EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun.
45
463.45 Tue Oct 21 22:20:39 CEST 2008
47 - (libev) disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25 (kernel bug).
48 - (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork.
49 - (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to
50 the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving
51 one precedence.
52 - install C library documentation as EV::libev manpage (sorry, oesi).
53 - (libev) fix a minor performance bug in ev_stat handling.
54
553.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008
56 - (libev) add EV::now_update and $loop->now_update.
57
583.431 Sun Jul 13 00:19:02 CEST 2008
59 - made the EV::embed callback optional again. reported by
60 Vladimir Timofeev.
61
623.43 Tue Jul 8 20:56:31 CEST 2008
63 - disabled warnings in EV.pm, the CHECK issue is now understood
64 and harmless.
65
663.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008
67 - (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and
68 windows itself: failed connects do NOT set read or write
69 flags in select, but this version of libev will.
70
713.41 Thu May 22 01:39:40 CEST 2008
72 - (libev) fix many heap-related bugs (timers, periodics).
73 - (libev) improve timing stability of timers and periodics.
74 - expose ev_loop_verify to perl code.
75 - clarify documentation for periodic reschedule callbacks.
76 - verify that the passed callback argument is indeed a code
77 reference, for earlier error reporting and a nice calling
78 speed increase (as well as saving memory).
79
803.4 Tue May 20 21:51:55 CEST 2008
81 - (libev) work around both a windows bug and a bug in perl's
82 select on windows when not waiting for any file descriptors.
83 - bundle ev.pod into the tarball, just to increase its size
84 (and for the poor internetless person).
85
863.33 Sun May 18 12:43:04 CEST 2008
87 - (libev) use numerous enhancements such as a more
88 cache-friendly 4-heap and heap index caching for timers.
89 - remove undocumented ev_timer->at accessor.
90
913.31 Wed Apr 16 20:48:59 CEST 2008

121 König).
122
1232.0 Sat Dec 22 17:47:03 CET 2007
