1 Revision history for Perl extension EV
2
3 - (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork.
4 - (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to
5 the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving
6 one precedence.
7
8 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008
9 - (libev) add EV::now_update and $loop->now_update.

18
19 3.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008
20 - (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and

27 - expose ev_loop_verify to perl code.

34 - (libev) work around both a windows bug and a bug in perl's
35 select on windows when not waiting for any file descriptors.

75
76 2.0 Sat Dec 22 17:47:03 CET 2007

104 - improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers
105 by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at.
106 - recalculate real/monotonic clocks before blocking fully
107 to avoid blocking for longer than necessary.

109 heap orderings.
