3 - install C library documentation as EV::c_doc manpage.
4 - (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork.
5 - (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to

7 one precedence.
8
9 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008

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

28 - expose ev_loop_verify to perl code.

35 - (libev) work around both a windows bug and a bug in perl's

76
77 2.0 Sat Dec 22 17:47:03 CET 2007

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