2
3 - (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events
4 and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but
5 I didn't design epoll...).
6 - (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
7 backend in some cases.
8 - (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away
9 with the init functions.
10 - speed up event callback invocation further (~15%), by
11 not creating the object reference each time.
12 - EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun.
13
14 3.45 Tue Oct 21 22:20:39 CEST 2008
15 - (libev) disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25 (kernel bug).
16 - (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork.
17 - (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to
18 the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving
19 one precedence.
20 - install C library documentation as EV::libev manpage (sorry, oesi).
21 - (libev) fix a minor performance bug in ev_stat handling.
22
23 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008
24 - (libev) add EV::now_update and $loop->now_update.
25
26 3.431 Sun Jul 13 00:19:02 CEST 2008

28 Vladimir Timofeev.
29
30 3.43 Tue Jul 8 20:56:31 CEST 2008
31 - disabled warnings in EV.pm, the CHECK issue is now understood
32 and harmless.
33
34 3.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008
35 - (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and
36 windows itself: failed connects do NOT set read or write
37 flags in select, but this version of libev will.
38
39 3.41 Thu May 22 01:39:40 CEST 2008
40 - (libev) fix many heap-related bugs (timers, periodics).
41 - (libev) improve timing stability of timers and periodics.
42 - expose ev_loop_verify to perl code.
43 - clarify documentation for periodic reschedule callbacks.
44 - verify that the passed callback argument is indeed a code
45 reference, for earlier error reporting and a nice calling
46 speed increase (as well as saving memory).
47
48 3.4 Tue May 20 21:51:55 CEST 2008
49 - (libev) work around both a windows bug and a bug in perl's
50 select on windows when not waiting for any file descriptors.
51 - bundle ev.pod into the tarball, just to increase its size
52 (and for the poor internetless person).
53
54 3.33 Sun May 18 12:43:04 CEST 2008
55 - (libev) use numerous enhancements such as a more
56 cache-friendly 4-heap and heap index caching for timers.

88 caught by new Test::Harness versions (reported by Andreas
89 König).
90
91 2.0 Sat Dec 22 17:47:03 CET 2007
92 - no longer force kqueue when enabled, enable it

95 - switch to libev's MULTIPLICITY API.
96 - use a slightly different include file name strategy.
97 - get rid of (unused) libevent emulation.

101 - fix name of prepare start/stop methods.
102 - create and export EV::sleep and EV::set_*_collect_interval.

115 - API version 3:0.
116 - reduced fudge factor to zero for select, poll, epoll
117 and kqueue: your system better be posix-compliant
118 even in its extensions :->
119 - improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers
120 by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at.
121 - recalculate real/monotonic clocks before blocking fully
122 to avoid blocking for longer than necessary.
123 - fix bugs in the heap functions. this rarely lead to illegal
124 heap orderings.
125
126 1.72 Sat Dec 8 15:31:26 CET 2007
