3 - add EV::loop_verify and EV::loop_depth.
4
53.6 Tue Apr 28 02:50:37 CEST 2009
6 - keepalive(0) could decrease the refcount of the loop
7 permanently.
8 - add ev_suspend/ev_resume, also make ev_now_update
9 accessible via the XS API.
10 - most EV::<eventtype> constants were missing and have been
11 added :/.
12 - add EV::VERSION_MAJOR/VERSION_MINOR constants.
13 - (libev) multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop
14 iteration will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
15 - (libev) do not leave the event loop early just because we have
16 no active watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue
17 loop that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
18 (reported by blacksand blacksand).
19 - (libev) correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying
20 and reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
21 Malek Hadj-Ali).
22 - (libev) new EV::CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
23 - (libev) add documentation section about priorites.
24 - (libev) add a glossary to the dcoumentation.
25 - (libev) extend the ev_fork description slightly.
26 - (libev) optimize a jump out of call_pending.
27 - t/03_keepalive could fail when there was no actual error.

30 - (libev) on win32, the event loop creation could randomly fail
31 due to an initialised variable having the wrong value.
32 - (libev) probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and
33 fall back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
34 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
35 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime by default.
36
373.52 Wed Jan 7 21:46:14 CET 2009
38 - (libev) fix some issues in the select backend when in fd_set mode.
39 - (libev) due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
40 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
41 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - (libev) actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
43 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
44 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
45 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
46 should return fantasy port numbers.
47
483.51 Wed Dec 24 23:01:59 CET 2008
49 - do not cache the arguments passed to callbacks if the refcount
50 indicates that the callback has stolen them.
51 - (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux.
52 - (libev) check port_getn return value dfferently, might potentially
53 avoid problems.
54 - (libev) fix a bug with stat watchers possibly causing freezes.
55 - (libev) work around OS X 10.5 breaking poll, now select is the
56 only viable choice left on that pile of garbage.
57 - play tester whore: disable some tests that typically fail only
58 on cpan tester machines.
59
603.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
61 - fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros).
62 - increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester
63 machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast
64 make test.
65 - possible 5.6 compatibility.
66 - (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it.
67 - (libev) use inotify only as an added hint on network filesystems.
68

3 - (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events 70 - (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events
4 and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but 71 and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but
5 I didn't design epoll...). 72 I didn't design epoll...).
6 - (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll 73 - (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
7 backend in some cases. 74 backend in some cases.
