# User Rev Content
1 root 1.14 Revision history for libev, a high-performance and full-featured event loop.
2 root 1.1
3 root 1.316 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newre versions of
4     darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
5 root 1.314 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
6 root 1.315 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
7     and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
8 root 1.317 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
9 root 1.318 - c++: rename EV_THROW to EV_NOEXCEPT
10     - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications.
11     - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class.
12 root 1.314
13 root 1.313 4.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
14     - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
15     didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
16     version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
17    
18 root 1.312 4.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
19 root 1.311 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
20     microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
21     otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
22    
23 root 1.310 4.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
24 root 1.308 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
25     only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
26     SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
27     so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
28     (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
29     - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
30     (analyzed by Jason Madden).
31 root 1.309 - updated libecb.
32 root 1.308
33 root 1.307 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
34 root 1.302 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
35 root 1.303 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
36 root 1.305 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
37 root 1.304 watcher callbacks.
38 root 1.301
39 root 1.300 4.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
40 root 1.298 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
41 root 1.299 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
42     C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
43     declarations have to spell out the types each time.
44 root 1.297 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
45     functionality.
46    
47 root 1.296 4.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
48 root 1.295 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
49     epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
50 root 1.288 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
51 root 1.289 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
52 root 1.291 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
53     when we can't detect the signal set size.
54 root 1.292 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
55     on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
56     doing clock_gettime in userspace).
57 root 1.293 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
58     loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
59 root 1.294 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
60     broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
61 root 1.288
62 root 1.287 4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:04:50 CET 2013
63 root 1.271 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
64     watcher (Denis Bilenko).
65 root 1.266 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
66     them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
67 root 1.261 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
68     further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
69     - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
70     syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
71 root 1.256 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
72     event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
73 root 1.273 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
74 root 1.263 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
75     be overfenced than underprotected.
76 root 1.256 - ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
77     still active).
78 root 1.252 - ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
79     libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
80 root 1.253 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
81     - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
82 root 1.259 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
83 root 1.254 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
84     the kqueue descriptor in the child.
85 root 1.282 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
86     in many cases.
87 root 1.262 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
88 root 1.268 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
89     common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
90 sf-exg 1.286 - choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
91 root 1.270 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
92     works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
93 root 1.274 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
94     Denis Bilenko).
95 root 1.275 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
96 root 1.276 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
97     the watcher base set (loop) method.
98 root 1.278 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
99 sf-exg 1.286 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
100 root 1.278 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
101 root 1.282 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
102     inotify-supporting filesystems.
103 root 1.283 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
104     versions ignore it before
105     (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
106 root 1.284 - add some untested android support.
107 root 1.285 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
108 root 1.253
109 root 1.250 4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:52:39 CET 2012
110 root 1.248 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
111     was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
112 root 1.249 - new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.
113 root 1.234 - fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
114     caused signals to not be handled anymore.
115 root 1.229 - correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows
116     specific workaround to avoid looping because we call both
117     select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
118 root 1.230 - document range and guarantees of ev_sleep.
119 root 1.231 - document reasonable ranges for periodics interval and offset.
120     - rename backend_fudge to backend_mintime to avoid future confusion :)
121 root 1.225 - change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully be more
122 root 1.226 exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far future.
123 root 1.225 - do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our
124 root 1.230 own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to embed,
125     as no external libraries are required.
126 root 1.232 - strategically import macros from libecb and mark rarely-used functions
127 sf-exg 1.239 as cache-cold (saving almost 2k code size on typical amd64 setups).
128 root 1.237 - add Symbols.ev and Symbols.event files, that were missing.
129 root 1.242 - fix backend_mintime value for epoll (was 1/1024, is 1/1000 now).
130 root 1.244 - fix #3 "be smart about timeouts" to not "deadlock" when
131     timeout == now, also improve the section overall.
132     - avoid "AVOIDING FINISHING BEFORE RETURNING" idiom.
133 root 1.245 - support new EV_API_STATIC mode to make all libev symbols
134     static.
135 root 1.251 - supply default CFLAGS of -g -O3 with gcc when original CFLAGS
136     were empty.
137 root 1.225
138 root 1.224 4.04 Wed Feb 16 09:01:51 CET 2011
139     - fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's
140     with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed
141     or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder).
142 root 1.221 - do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c.
143 root 1.222 - backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3.
144 root 1.223 - configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when
145     they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt).
146 root 1.221
147 root 1.219 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:37:25 CET 2011
148 root 1.217 - officially support polling files with all backends.
149 root 1.212 - support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
150     backend, by generating events on our own.
151 root 1.217 - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
152     (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
153     bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
154     than that).
155 root 1.209 - define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
156     #ifdef to test for them.
157 root 1.213 - new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
158     - new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
159     - new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
160 root 1.220 - updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION.
161 root 1.209
162 root 1.207 4.01 Fri Nov 5 21:51:29 CET 2010
163 root 1.205 - automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
164 root 1.206 to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
165     event.h on make install. grrr.
166     - ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
167 root 1.203 - change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
168 root 1.204 - use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.
169 root 1.203
170 root 1.202 4.00 Mon Oct 25 12:32:12 CEST 2010
171 root 1.171 - "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading.
172 root 1.161 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
173     testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
174 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_run will now always update the current loop time - it erroneously
175 root 1.187 didn't when idle watchers were active, causing timers not to fire.
176 root 1.179 - fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire
177     in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó).
178 root 1.164 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
179 root 1.166 - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
180 root 1.178 - prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it
181     seems the former is *much* faster than the latter.
182 root 1.197 - linux kernel version detection (for inotify bug workarounds)
183     did not work properly.
184 root 1.185 - reduce the number of spurious wake-ups with the ports backend.
185 root 1.158 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
186 root 1.186 - do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which avoids
187     an API quirk where the set function must be called in the C++ API
188     even when there is nothing to set.
189 root 1.174 - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
190 root 1.175 this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting
191     not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher).
192 root 1.176 - do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't
193     on freebsd...).
194 root 1.195 - allow to embed epoll on kernels >= 2.6.32.
195 root 1.159 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
196     override it.
197 root 1.190 - ev.pod: greatly expanded the portability section, added a porting
198     section, a description of watcher states and made lots of minor fixes.
199 root 1.160 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
200     and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
201     and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
202 root 1.162 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
203     in an obscure case.
204 root 1.163 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
205     - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
206     no sscanf dependency).
207 root 1.164 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
208 sf-exg 1.172 - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
209 root 1.165 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
210 root 1.168 - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
211 root 1.190 - rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify/loop/unloop.
212 root 1.197 - remove ev_default_destroy and ev_default_fork.
213 root 1.168 - switch to two-digit minor version.
214 root 1.180 - work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug.
215 root 1.181 - define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT. just so.
216 root 1.188 - use enum instead of #define for most constants.
217     - improve compatibility to older C++ compilers.
218 root 1.193 - (experimental) ev_run/ev_default_loop/ev_break/ev_loop_new have now
219     default arguments when compiled as C++.
220 root 1.196 - enable automake dependency tracking.
221 root 1.197 - ev_loop_new no longer leaks memory when loop creation failed.
222 root 1.198 - new ev_cleanup watcher type.
223 root 1.157
224 root 1.156 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
225 root 1.155 - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
226     explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
227     catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
228     - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
229     that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
230 root 1.142 - backport inotify code to C89.
231 root 1.148 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
232 sf-exg 1.241 - ev_stat watchers could keep an erroneous extra ref on the loop,
233 root 1.151 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
234 root 1.150 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
235 root 1.143 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
236 root 1.145 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
237 root 1.144 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
238     (patch by Didier Spezia).
239 root 1.147 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
240     on fd creation, to avoid races.
241 root 1.150 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows
242     (analysed by lekma).
243 root 1.146 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
244     signalfd.
245 root 1.152 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
246 root 1.153 - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
247     so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
248 sf-exg 1.191 have caused the problems with 04_stat.t.
249 root 1.154 - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.
250 root 1.142
251 root 1.141 3.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
252 root 1.133 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
253     to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
254 root 1.135 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
255 sf-exg 1.191 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repeated
256 root 1.134 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
257 root 1.133 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
258     - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
259     state when using libev's signal handling.
260 root 1.136 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
261     on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.
262 root 1.132
263 root 1.131 3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:36:32 CEST 2009
264 root 1.128 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
265     instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
266     - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
267     - add new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata,
268 root 1.126 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb,
269 root 1.132 ev_invoke_pending, ev_pending_count, together with a long example
270     about thread locking.
271 root 1.128 - add ev_timer_remaining (as requested by Denis F. Latypoff).
272     - add ev_loop_depth.
273 root 1.124 - calling ev_unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
274     for new events.
275 root 1.115 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
276     - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
277     check that the syscall number is available before trying to
278     use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
279 root 1.117 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
280 root 1.116 slightly higher accuracy.
281 root 1.122 - properly declare ev_loop_verify and ev_now_update even when
282     !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
283 root 1.121 - do not compile in any priority code when EV_MAXPRI == EV_MINPRI.
284 root 1.123 - support EV_MINIMAL==2 for a reduced API.
285 root 1.125 - actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
286 root 1.127 - add section on hibernate and stopped processes to ev_timer docs.
287 root 1.115
288 root 1.113 3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:49:30 CEST 2009
289 root 1.107 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
290     will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
291 root 1.105 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
292     watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
293     that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
294     (reported by blacksand blacksand).
295 root 1.102 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
296     reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
297     Malek Hadj-Ali).
298 root 1.108 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
299 root 1.106 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
300 sf-exg 1.241 - add documentation section about priorities.
301 sf-exg 1.286 - add a glossary to the documentation.
302 root 1.111 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
303 root 1.112 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.
304 root 1.102
305 root 1.101 3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
306     - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
307     failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
308 root 1.100 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
309     back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
310     operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
311     - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
312     (default most everywhere), otherwise not.
313    
314 root 1.99 3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
315 root 1.97 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
316     missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
317     - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
318     - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
319     - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
320     select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
321     allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
322 root 1.95 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
323     libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
324     attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
325 root 1.96 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
326     should return fantasy port numbers.
327 root 1.100 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
328 root 1.97 clearer diagnostics.
329 root 1.98 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
330     a useless string instead of the expected version string
331     (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).
332 root 1.95
333 root 1.94 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008
334 root 1.91 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
335 root 1.92 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
336 root 1.87 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
337     a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
338 root 1.88 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
339     (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
340     (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
341 root 1.93 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
342     automatically.
343 root 1.89 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
344     to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
345     - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
346 root 1.90 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
347     ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
348 root 1.91 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
349 root 1.92 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
350     - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
351     so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
352 root 1.93 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.
353 root 1.87
354 root 1.86 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
355 root 1.83 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
356     kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
357     "known to be good" list.
358 root 1.84 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
359     (analysed by Roger Pack).
360 root 1.85 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
361     confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
362     I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
363     with their C compiler.
364 root 1.83
365 root 1.80 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:02:37 CET 2008
366 root 1.71 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
367     backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
368     ADD fails with EEXIST.
369 root 1.75 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
370 root 1.77 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
371 root 1.78 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
372     but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
373 root 1.71 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
374     init functions.
375 root 1.72 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
376     - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
377 root 1.73 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
378     to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
379 root 1.74 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
380     loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
381 root 1.79 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
382     do similar changes for event.c.
383 root 1.71
384 root 1.69 3.45 Tue Oct 21 21:59:26 CEST 2008
385 root 1.67 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
386     (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
387 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_stat erroneously would try to add inotify watchers
388 root 1.68 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
389 root 1.67 have a performance impact).
390 root 1.65 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
391     occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
392 root 1.66 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
393 root 1.65
394 root 1.62 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008
395     - embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the
396     embedded loop when the parent loop forks.
397 root 1.58 - new function: ev_now_update (loop).
398 root 1.57 - verify_watcher was not marked static.
399 root 1.59 - improve the "associating..." manpage section.
400 root 1.60 - documentation tweaks here and there.
401 root 1.57
402 root 1.56 3.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008
403 root 1.54 - include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64
404 root 1.56 (reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue).
405 root 1.53 - add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by
406     Matt Tolton).
407    
408 root 1.52 3.42 Tue Jun 17 12:12:07 CEST 2008
409 root 1.50 - work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's
410     multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming
411 root 1.51 otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton.
412     - define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile
413 root 1.48 (reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert).
414 root 1.49 - fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch
415     programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton.
416     - fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors
417     under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles).
418     reported by Matt Tolton.
419 root 1.50 - (try to) work around missing lstat on windows.
420 root 1.45 - pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows
421 root 1.46 is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that
422     switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't
423     have oob, so that would be stupid anyways.
424 root 1.47 - use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence
425     and some other default values.
426 root 1.45
427 root 1.44 3.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008
428 root 1.46 - work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you
429 root 1.40 provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky.
430 root 1.41 - improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon.
431 root 1.36 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
432     codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
433     - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
434     of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
435     2-based heaps.
436 root 1.38 - cache timestamp within heap for !EV_MINIMAL, to avoid random
437     memory accesses.
438     - document/add EV_USE_4HEAP and EV_HEAP_CACHE_AT.
439 root 1.33 - fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again.
440 root 1.35 - add/document ev_periodic_at, retract direct access to ->at.
441     - improve ev_stat docs.
442     - add portability requirements section.
443 root 1.39 - fix manpage headers etc.
444 root 1.40 - normalise WSA error codes to lower range on windows.
445 root 1.43 - add consistency check code that can be called automatically
446     or on demand to check for internal structures (ev_loop_verify).
447 root 1.31
448 root 1.30 3.31 Wed Apr 16 20:45:04 CEST 2008
449     - added last minute fix for ev_poll.c by Brandon Black.
450 root 1.29
451 root 1.28 3.3 Wed Apr 16 19:04:10 CEST 2008
452 root 1.23 - event_base_loopexit should return 0 on success
453     (W.C.A. Wijngaards).
454 root 1.20 - added linux eventfd support.
455     - try to autodetect epoll and inotify support
456     by libc header version if not using autoconf.
457 root 1.21 - new symbols: EV_DEFAULT_UC and EV_DEFAULT_UC_.
458     - declare functions defined in ev.h as inline if
459     C99 or gcc are available.
460     - enable inlining with gcc versions 2 and 3.
461 root 1.25 - work around broken poll implementations potentially
462     not clearing revents field in ev_poll (Brandon Black)
463     (no such systems are known at this time).
464 root 1.23 - work around a bug in realloc on openbsd and darwin,
465 sf-exg 1.191 also makes the erroneous valgrind complaints
466 root 1.23 go away (noted by various people).
467 root 1.26 - fix ev_async_pending, add c++ wrapper for ev_async
468 sf-exg 1.191 (based on patch sent by Johannes Deisenhofer).
469 root 1.26 - add sensible set method to ev::embed.
470 root 1.27 - made integer constants type int in ev.h.
471 root 1.20
472 root 1.19 3.2 Wed Apr 2 17:11:19 CEST 2008
473 root 1.15 - fix a 64 bit overflow issue in the select backend,
474     by using fd_mask instead of int for the mask.
475 root 1.16 - rename internal sighandler to avoid clash with very old perls.
476 root 1.18 - entering ev_loop will not clear the ONESHOT or NONBLOCKING
477     flags of any outer loops anymore.
478 root 1.17 - add ev_async_pending.
479 root 1.15
480 root 1.14 3.1 Thu Mar 13 13:45:22 CET 2008
