84.16 Sat Mar 8 16:49:05 CET 2014
9 - make sure EV::CHECK is available at all times.
10 - avoid a spurious warning when perl -w overrides "no warnings".
11 - use perl's signal implementation on WIN32.
12 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
13 pointers.
14 - (libev) mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
15 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
16 - (libev) in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
17 on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
18 doing clock_gettime in userspace).
19 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
20 broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
21
224.15 Fri Mar 1 12:15:53 CET 2013
23 - (libev) upgrade to 4.15 - too many changes to list.
24 - EV::run now returns a boolean.
25 - API version 5:1.
26 - document that cleanup watchers are not available via perl.
27 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
28 - remove dependencies on librt and libpthreads on GNU/Linux.
29
304.11 Sat Feb 4 19:56:26 CET 2012
31 - (libev) implement memory fences for (obsolete) llvm-gcc.
32
334.10 Thu Jan 19 18:54:23 CET 2012
34 - (libev) fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork
35 bugs caused signals to not be handled anymore.
36 - (libev) correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement
37 a windows specific workaround to avoid looping because we call
38 both select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
39 - e_new wasn't declared static (causing very minor .so bloat).
40 - replace more old api names by new ones.
41
424.03 Tue Jan 11 14:51:05 CET 2011
43 - do not avoid the clock_gettime call on GNU/Linux anymore, as EV
44 links against -lpthread anyways - as a result, EV might now take
45 advantage of fast userspace clock_gettime implementations,
46 but also links against -lrt.
47 - (libev) lots of event port bug workarounds.
48 - (libev) officially support files in I/O watchers.
49 - (libev) new function ev_feed_signal.
50 - fix documentation parts still refering to the 3.x API.
51
524.02 Thu Dec 30 08:27:41 CET 2010
53 - the revents argument did not stringify correctly, as only the
54 numeric value was updated, while the string value was kept from
55 previous invocations.
56
574.01 Sun Dec 5 12:42:13 CET 2010
58 - fully support EV_COMPAT3=0.
59 - default_fork was stupidly defined as inline.
60 - ask cpan to upgrade AnyEvent if < 5.29.
61 - support EV_EXTRA_DEFS during configuration.
62 - support -DEV_NO_LOOPS for snakker build.
63
644.00 Mon Oct 25 13:30:09 CEST 2010
65 - many API changes, see the manual.
66 - (libev) lots and lots of bugfixes, see the ev documentation.
67 - fix a bug where inotify usage would parse the same event
68 multiple times, causing various forms of breakage.
69 - greatly reduce stack usage for inotify (8kb to <0.5kb).
70 - expose ev_depth and ev_verify via the XS API.
71 - implement ev_cleanup watchers.
72 - (libev) ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher.
73 - (libev) disable poll backend on AIX.
74 - (libev) rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
75 - (libev) add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
76 - (libev) no child watchers on win32.
77 - make code more aliasing compliant, in case perl is ever
78 translated to C.
79 - document the EV::CHECK runtime unavailability.
80 - ported to minix 3.1.7.

823.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
3 - disable t/07* under automatic testing. 83 - disable t/07* under automatic testing.
4 - increase t/09* timeouts as netbsd has *horribly* broken 84 - increase t/09* timeouts as netbsd has *horribly* broken
5 select/kevent that *usually* sleep >>0.6s instead of 0.3. 85 select/kevent that *usually* sleep >>0.6s instead of 0.3.
6 - add constants EV::FLAG_NOSIGFD, EV::FLAG_NOINOTIFY and 86 - add constants EV::FLAG_NOSIGFD, EV::FLAG_NOINOTIFY and
7 EV::BACKEND_ALL. 87 EV::BACKEND_ALL.
88 - (libev) signalfd is no longer used by default.
89 - (libev) backport inotify code to C89.
90 - (libev) inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
91 - (libev) ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop.
92 - (libev) take advantage of inotify_init1, if available.
93 - (libev) the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows.
94 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for signalfd.
95 - (libev) only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference.

10 - implement $loop->signal/signal_ns. 98 - implement $loop->signal/signal_ns.
11 - (libev) incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal 99 - (libev) incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal
12 handler to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. 100 handler to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
