6 - try to name ev.h more explicitly, to hopefully improve portability.

84.27 Thu Jun 27 09:39:58 CEST 2019
9 - (libev) completely rewritten linuxaio backend, maybe
10 usable as a general-use backend.
11 - (libev) use more aggressive assertions to catch
12 more usage errors.
13 - allow users to re-enable assert() in case it is disabled
14 by perl (which is typically the case).
15
164.26 Mon Jun 24 23:39:40 CEST 2019
17 - (libev) included experimental linux aio backend.
18 - allow the linux aio backend to be used by default
19 only when explicitly configured during Makefile.PL time.
20
214.25 Fri Dec 21 08:04:26 CET 2018
22 - (libev) updated to libev 4.25, minor fixes and enhancements.
23 - document the requirement to "use EV" when using EV::MakeMaker.
24 - only use __register_atfork with glibc and uclibc, as musl
25 defines __linux__, but doesn't implement the linux standard
26 base ABI, nor makes itself detectable via a macro, both apparently
27 by design, winning the "broken by design 2016 award" - well done.
28 - correct EV::periodic example 24h after midnight -> one day after
29 midnight (reported by Felix Ostmann).
30
314.22 Sun Dec 20 02:34:39 CET 2015
32 - (libev) when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
33 only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
34 SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
35 so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
36 (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
37 - (libev) remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
38 (analyzed by Jason Madden).
39 - updated libecb.
40
414.21 Mon Jul 13 21:47:33 CEST 2015
42 - allow argument in timer->again.
43 - document timer->remaining.
44 - document default repeat value for timer->set.
45
464.20 Sat Jun 20 13:07:34 CEST 2015
47 - added stability canary support.
48 - truly rely on automatic configuration for clock_gettime and others.
49 unfortunately, this doesn't help with activeperl and similar perls,
50 which define _POSIX_TIMERS without actually implementing any of it.
51 - (libev, ecb) make it compile as C++ again.
52 - (libev) fix a potential aliasing issue when accessing watcher cbs.
53
544.18 Sat Sep 6 20:37:23 CEST 2014
55 - use slightly better weay to find includes, to support multiarch
56 on newer perls.
57
584.17 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
59 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
60 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
61 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
62 compatibility - I will never understand.
63
644.16 Sat Mar 8 16:49:05 CET 2014
65 - make sure EV::CHECK is available at all times.
66 - avoid a spurious warning when perl -w overrides "no warnings".
67 - use perl's signal implementation on WIN32.
68 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
69 pointers.
70 - (libev) mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
71 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
72 - (libev) in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
73 on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
74 doing clock_gettime in userspace).
75 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
76 broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
77
784.15 Fri Mar 1 12:15:53 CET 2013
79 - (libev) upgrade to 4.15 - too many changes to list.
80 - EV::run now returns a boolean.
81 - API version 5:1.
82 - document that cleanup watchers are not available via perl.
83 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
84 - remove dependencies on librt and libpthreads on GNU/Linux.
85
864.11 Sat Feb 4 19:56:26 CET 2012
87 - (libev) implement memory fences for (obsolete) llvm-gcc.
88
894.10 Thu Jan 19 18:54:23 CET 2012
90 - (libev) fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork
91 bugs caused signals to not be handled anymore.
92 - (libev) correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement
93 a windows specific workaround to avoid looping because we call
94 both select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
6 - e_new wasn'tr declared static (causing very minor .so bloat). 95 - e_new wasn't declared static (causing very minor .so bloat).
96 - replace more old api names by new ones.

9 - do not avoid the clock_gettime call on GNU/Linux anymore, as EV 99 - do not avoid the clock_gettime call on GNU/Linux anymore, as EV
10 links against -lpthread anyways - as a result, EV might now take 100 links against -lpthread anyways - as a result, EV might now take
11 advantage of fast userspace clock_gettime implementations, 101 advantage of fast userspace clock_gettime implementations,
