3 - keepalive(0) could decrease the refcount of the loop
4 permanently.
5 - add ev_suspend/ev_resume, also make ev_now_update
6 accessible via the XS API.

83.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
9 - (libev) on win32, the event loop creation could randomly fail
10 due to an initialised variable having the wrong value.
11 - (libev) probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and
12 fall back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
13 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
14 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime by default.
15
163.52 Wed Jan 7 21:46:14 CET 2009
17 - (libev) fix some issues in the select backend when in fd_set mode.
18 - (libev) due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
19 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
20 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
21 - (libev) actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
22 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
23 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
24 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
25 should return fantasy port numbers.
26
273.51 Wed Dec 24 23:01:59 CET 2008
28 - do not cache the arguments passed to callbacks if the refcount
29 indicates that the callback has stolen them.
30 - (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux.
31 - (libev) check port_getn return value dfferently, might potentially
32 avoid problems.
33 - (libev) fix a bug with stat watchers possibly causing freezes.
34 - (libev) work around OS X 10.5 breaking poll, now select is the
35 only viable choice left on that pile of garbage.
36 - play tester whore: disable some tests that typically fail only
37 on cpan tester machines.
38
393.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
40 - fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros).
41 - increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester
42 machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast
43 make test.
44 - possible 5.6 compatibility.
45 - (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it.
46 - (libev) use inotify only as an added hint on network filesystems.
47
483.48 Thu Oct 30 09:09:48 CET 2008
49 - (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events
50 and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but
51 I didn't design epoll...).
52 - (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
53 backend in some cases.
54 - (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away
55 with the init functions.
56 - speed up event callback invocation further (~15%), by
57 not creating the object reference each time.
58 - EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun.
59
603.45 Tue Oct 21 22:20:39 CEST 2008
61 - (libev) disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25 (kernel bug).
62 - (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork.
63 - (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to
64 the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving
65 one precedence.
66 - install C library documentation as EV::libev manpage (sorry, oesi).
67 - (libev) fix a minor performance bug in ev_stat handling.
68
693.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008
70 - (libev) add EV::now_update and $loop->now_update.
71
723.431 Sun Jul 13 00:19:02 CEST 2008
73 - made the EV::embed callback optional again. reported by
74 Vladimir Timofeev.
75
763.43 Tue Jul 8 20:56:31 CEST 2008
77 - disabled warnings in EV.pm, the CHECK issue is now understood
78 and harmless.
79
803.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008
81 - (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and
82 windows itself: failed connects do NOT set read or write
83 flags in select, but this version of libev will.
84
853.41 Thu May 22 01:39:40 CEST 2008
86 - (libev) fix many heap-related bugs (timers, periodics).
87 - (libev) improve timing stability of timers and periodics.
88 - expose ev_loop_verify to perl code.
89 - clarify documentation for periodic reschedule callbacks.
90 - verify that the passed callback argument is indeed a code
91 reference, for earlier error reporting and a nice calling
92 speed increase (as well as saving memory).
93
943.4 Tue May 20 21:51:55 CEST 2008
95 - (libev) work around both a windows bug and a bug in perl's
96 select on windows when not waiting for any file descriptors.
97 - bundle ev.pod into the tarball, just to increase its size
98 (and for the poor internetless person).
99
1003.33 Sun May 18 12:43:04 CEST 2008
101 - (libev) use numerous enhancements such as a more
102 cache-friendly 4-heap and heap index caching for timers.
103 - remove undocumented ev_timer->at accessor.
104

135 König).
136
1372.0 Sat Dec 22 17:47:03 CET 2007
