3 TODO: document fork watchers
4
5 - expose fork watchers.
6 - switch to libev's MULTIPLICITY API.
7 - use a slightly different include file name strategy.
8 - get rid of (unused) libevent emulation.
9 - 5% watcher management speedup due to callback optimisation
10 when inline closures are used, 5% slowdown due to multiplicity.
11 - very minimal support for dynamic event loops and embed watchers.
12 - (libev) fix embed watchers.
13 - (libev) renamed ev_embed.loop to other.
14 - (libev) added exported Symbol tables.
15 - (libev) undefine member wrapper macros at the end of ev.c.
16 - (libev) respect EV_H in ev++.h.
17
18 1.86 Tue Dec 18 02:36:57 CET 2007
19 - (libev) fix memleak on loop destroy (not relevant for perl).
20 - add periodic->at methods.
21
22 1.85 Fri Dec 14 20:32:40 CET 2007
23 - further optimise epoll backend by adding a heuristic that
24 avoids EPOLL_CTL_DEL calls if possible.
25 - EV::signal->start was not async-signal safe.
26 - (libev) fix some aliasing issues w.r.t. timers and periodics
27 (not relevant for perl).
28 - optimise start/stop when the fd hasn't changed.
29
30 1.8 Tue Dec 11 22:17:46 CET 2007
31 - API version 3:0.
32 - reduced fudge factor to zero for select, poll, epoll
33 and kqueue: your system better be posix-compliant
34 even in its extensions :->
35 - improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers
36 by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at.
37 - recalculate real/monotonic clocks before blocking fully
38 to avoid blocking for longer than necessary.
39 - fix bugs in the heap functions. this rarely lead to illegal
40 heap orderings.
41
42 1.72 Sat Dec 8 15:31:26 CET 2007
43 - add dummy loop arguments to some EVAPI functions
44 so that clients can use EV_A and EV_DEFAULT.
45 - expose ev_clear_pending.
46 - renamed trigger to invoke.
47
48 1.71 Fri Dec 7 19:10:24 CET 2007
49 - changed/implemented idle watcher priority.
50 - allow out-of-range priorities to be set.
51 - fix ->priority to actually work on started watchers.
52 - improved testsuite.
53
54 1.6 Wed Dec 5 15:06:20 CET 2007
55 - add a missing SPAGAIN.
56 - ripped out EV::DNS, use EV::ADNS for a better backend.
57 - make ev_time callable from EVAPI.h.
58 - add EV::loop_count.
59 - some space optimisations.
60
61 1.5 Wed Nov 28 20:19:09 CET 2007
62 - add inotify backend.
63 - make testsuite even less sensible to timing issues,
64 add more stat tests.
65 - add ->attr, ->prev, ->stat calls to stat watcher.
66
67 1.4 Tue Nov 27 17:35:27 CET 2007
68 - work around a linux 2.4 kernel bug in child handlers.
69 - implement stat watcher interface.
70 - implement fork watcher interface.
71 - io->set did not keep the fh alive.
72 - actively check signal numbers/names to be valid.
73 - cleanups, minor fixes, new bugs.
74 - work around windows bugs in the testsuite.
75
76 1.3 Sun Nov 25 10:46:57 CET 2007
77 - stopping idle/check/prepare watchers could cause data corruption.
78 - implement and document EV::once.
79 - improved documentation, verify that netbsd indeed has the only
80 working kqueue implementation (out of darwin, freebsd, netbsd and
81 openbsd). Praise them!
82 - fix the data method so it might work.
83 - expose ev_ref/ev_unref to the C API.
84 - expose ref/unref in form of the ->keepalive method to perl.
85 - minor bugfixes and portability fixes.
86
87 1.2 Thu Nov 22 05:44:09 CET 2007
88 - disable kqueue by default on !netbsd, as its broken on freebsd,
89 darwin and openbsd and thus almost everywhere.
90 - add some allowance in t/01_timer.t for the uneven monotonic
91 vs. realtime clock tick on at least freebsd.
92 - add -lsocket -lnsl on solaris in case the perl guy forgot to
93 configure them.
94
95 1.1 Wed Nov 21 06:08:48 CET 2007

97 withstand small timing variations.
98 - many minor tweaks to libev.
99
