5 | |
|
|
6 | - fix a bug where inotify usage would parse the same event |
|
|
7 | multiple times, causing various forms of breakage. |
|
|
8 | - greatly reduce stack usage for inotify (8kb to <0.5kb). |

10 | 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009 |
|
|
11 | - disable t/07* under automatic testing. |
|
|
12 | - increase t/09* timeouts as netbsd has *horribly* broken |
|
|
13 | select/kevent that *usually* sleep >>0.6s instead of 0.3. |
|
|
14 | - add constants EV::FLAG_NOSIGFD, EV::FLAG_NOINOTIFY and |
|
|
15 | EV::BACKEND_ALL. |
|
|
16 | - (libev) signalfd is no longer used by default. |
|
|
17 | - (libev) backport inotify code to C89. |
|
|
18 | - (libev) inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes. |
|
|
19 | - (libev) ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop. |
|
|
20 | - (libev) take advantage of inotify_init1, if available. |
|
|
21 | - (libev) the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows. |
|
|
22 | - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for signalfd. |
|
|
23 | - (libev) only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference. |
|
|

|
25 | 3.8 Sun Aug 9 15:30:10 CEST 2009 |
|
|
26 | - implement $loop->signal/signal_ns. |
|
|
27 | - (libev) incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal |
|
|
28 | handler to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. |
|
|
29 | - (libev) ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some |
|
|
30 | members, potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on |
|
|
31 | repated ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls. |
|
|
32 | - (libev) take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems. |
|
|
33 | - (libev) document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified |
|
|
34 | state when using libev's signal handling. |
|
|
35 | - (libev) take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set |
|
|
36 | cloexec/nonblock on fd creation, to avoid race conditions. |
|
|
37 | - implement internal glue code to interface more efficiently |
|
|
38 | with AnyEvent. |
