4 | TODO: document ev_set_*collect and ev_sleep |
|
|
5 | |
|
|
6 | - no longer force kqueue when enabled, enable it |
|
|
7 | on more systems (as its now by default not used on most). |
|
|
8 | - expose fork watchers. |
|
|

|
|
10 | - use a slightly different include file name strategy. |
|
|
11 | - get rid of (unused) libevent emulation. |
|
|
12 | - 5% watcher management speedup due to callback optimisation |
|
|
13 | when inline closures are used, 5% slowdown due to multiplicity. |

14 | - very minimal support for dynamic event loops and embed watchers. |
|
|
15 | - fix name of prepare start/stop methods. |

28 | - further optimise epoll backend by adding a heuristic that |

|
31 | - (libev) fix some aliasing issues w.r.t. timers and periodics |

|
36 | - API version 3:0. |
|
|
37 | - reduced fudge factor to zero for select, poll, epoll |

|
|
39 | even in its extensions :-> |
|
|
40 | - improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers |
|
|
41 | by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at. |

|
|
43 | to avoid blocking for longer than necessary. |
