# 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 1.324 - removed redundant 0-ptr check in ev_once.
4 root 1.325 - updated/extended ev_set_allocator documentation.
5 root 1.324
6 root 1.320 4.25 Fri Dec 21 07:49:20 CET 2018
7     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: EV_THROW was renamed to EV_NOEXCEPT
8 root 1.323 (EV_THROW still provided) and now uses noexcept on C++11 or newer.
9 root 1.320 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newer versions of
10 root 1.316 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
11 root 1.314 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
12 root 1.315 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
13     and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
14 root 1.317 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
15 root 1.318 - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications.
16     - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class.
17 root 1.319 - backport perl ev_periodic example to C, untested.
18 root 1.321 - update libecb, biggets change is to include a memory fence
19     in ECB_MEMORY_FENCE_RELEASE on x86/amd64.
20 root 1.322 - minor autoconf/automake modernisation.
21 root 1.314
22 root 1.313 4.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
23     - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
24     didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
25     version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
26    
27 root 1.312 4.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
28 root 1.311 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
29     microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
30     otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
31    
32 root 1.310 4.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
33 root 1.308 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
34     only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
35     SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
36     so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
37     (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
38     - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
39     (analyzed by Jason Madden).
40 root 1.309 - updated libecb.
41 root 1.308
42 root 1.307 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
43 root 1.302 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
44 root 1.303 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
45 root 1.305 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
46 root 1.304 watcher callbacks.
47 root 1.301
48 root 1.300 4.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
49 root 1.298 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
50 root 1.299 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
51     C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
52     declarations have to spell out the types each time.
53 root 1.297 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
54     functionality.
55    
56 root 1.296 4.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
57 root 1.295 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
58     epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
59 root 1.288 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
60 root 1.289 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
61 root 1.291 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
62     when we can't detect the signal set size.
63 root 1.292 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
64     on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
65     doing clock_gettime in userspace).
66 root 1.293 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
67     loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
68 root 1.294 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
69     broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
70 root 1.288
71 root 1.287 4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:04:50 CET 2013
72 root 1.271 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
73     watcher (Denis Bilenko).
74 root 1.266 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
75     them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
76 root 1.261 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
77     further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
78     - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
79     syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
80 root 1.256 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
81     event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
82 root 1.273 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
83 root 1.263 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
84     be overfenced than underprotected.
85 root 1.256 - ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
86     still active).
87 root 1.252 - ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
88     libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
89 root 1.253 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
90     - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
91 root 1.259 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
92 root 1.254 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
93     the kqueue descriptor in the child.
94 root 1.282 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
95     in many cases.
96 root 1.262 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
97 root 1.268 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
98     common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
99 sf-exg 1.286 - choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
100 root 1.270 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
101     works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
102 root 1.274 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
103     Denis Bilenko).
104 root 1.275 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
105 root 1.276 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
106     the watcher base set (loop) method.
107 root 1.278 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
108 sf-exg 1.286 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
109 root 1.278 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
110 root 1.282 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
111     inotify-supporting filesystems.
112 root 1.283 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
113     versions ignore it before
114     (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
115 root 1.284 - add some untested android support.
116 root 1.285 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
117 root 1.253
118 root 1.250 4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:52:39 CET 2012
119 root 1.248 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
120     was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
121 root 1.249 - new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.
122 root 1.234 - fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
123     caused signals to not be handled anymore.
124 root 1.229 - correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows
125     specific workaround to avoid looping because we call both
126     select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
127 root 1.230 - document range and guarantees of ev_sleep.
128 root 1.231 - document reasonable ranges for periodics interval and offset.
129     - rename backend_fudge to backend_mintime to avoid future confusion :)
130 root 1.225 - change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully be more
131 root 1.226 exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far future.
132 root 1.225 - do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our
133 root 1.230 own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to embed,
134     as no external libraries are required.
135 root 1.232 - strategically import macros from libecb and mark rarely-used functions
136 sf-exg 1.239 as cache-cold (saving almost 2k code size on typical amd64 setups).
137 root 1.237 - add Symbols.ev and Symbols.event files, that were missing.
138 root 1.242 - fix backend_mintime value for epoll (was 1/1024, is 1/1000 now).
139 root 1.244 - fix #3 "be smart about timeouts" to not "deadlock" when
140     timeout == now, also improve the section overall.
141     - avoid "AVOIDING FINISHING BEFORE RETURNING" idiom.
142 root 1.245 - support new EV_API_STATIC mode to make all libev symbols
143     static.
144 root 1.251 - supply default CFLAGS of -g -O3 with gcc when original CFLAGS
145     were empty.
146 root 1.225
147 root 1.224 4.04 Wed Feb 16 09:01:51 CET 2011
148     - fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's
149     with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed
150     or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder).
151 root 1.221 - do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c.
152 root 1.222 - backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3.
153 root 1.223 - configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when
154     they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt).
155 root 1.221
156 root 1.219 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:37:25 CET 2011
157 root 1.217 - officially support polling files with all backends.
158 root 1.212 - support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
159     backend, by generating events on our own.
160 root 1.217 - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
161     (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
162     bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
163     than that).
164 root 1.209 - define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
165     #ifdef to test for them.
166 root 1.213 - new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
167     - new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
168     - new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
169 root 1.220 - updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION.
170 root 1.209
171 root 1.207 4.01 Fri Nov 5 21:51:29 CET 2010
172 root 1.205 - automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
173 root 1.206 to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
174     event.h on make install. grrr.
175     - ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
176 root 1.203 - change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
177 root 1.204 - use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.
178 root 1.203
179 root 1.202 4.00 Mon Oct 25 12:32:12 CEST 2010
180 root 1.171 - "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading.
181 root 1.161 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
182     testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
183 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_run will now always update the current loop time - it erroneously
184 root 1.187 didn't when idle watchers were active, causing timers not to fire.
185 root 1.179 - fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire
186     in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó).
187 root 1.164 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
188 root 1.166 - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
189 root 1.178 - prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it
190     seems the former is *much* faster than the latter.
191 root 1.197 - linux kernel version detection (for inotify bug workarounds)
192     did not work properly.
193 root 1.185 - reduce the number of spurious wake-ups with the ports backend.
194 root 1.158 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
195 root 1.186 - do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which avoids
196     an API quirk where the set function must be called in the C++ API
197     even when there is nothing to set.
198 root 1.174 - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
199 root 1.175 this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting
200     not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher).
201 root 1.176 - do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't
202     on freebsd...).
203 root 1.195 - allow to embed epoll on kernels >= 2.6.32.
204 root 1.159 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
205     override it.
206 root 1.190 - ev.pod: greatly expanded the portability section, added a porting
207     section, a description of watcher states and made lots of minor fixes.
208 root 1.160 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
209     and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
210     and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
211 root 1.162 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
212     in an obscure case.
213 root 1.163 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
214     - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
215     no sscanf dependency).
216 root 1.164 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
217 sf-exg 1.172 - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
218 root 1.165 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
219 root 1.168 - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
220 root 1.190 - rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify/loop/unloop.
221 root 1.197 - remove ev_default_destroy and ev_default_fork.
222 root 1.168 - switch to two-digit minor version.
223 root 1.180 - work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug.
224 root 1.181 - define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT. just so.
225 root 1.188 - use enum instead of #define for most constants.
226     - improve compatibility to older C++ compilers.
227 root 1.193 - (experimental) ev_run/ev_default_loop/ev_break/ev_loop_new have now
228     default arguments when compiled as C++.
229 root 1.196 - enable automake dependency tracking.
230 root 1.197 - ev_loop_new no longer leaks memory when loop creation failed.
231 root 1.198 - new ev_cleanup watcher type.
232 root 1.157
233 root 1.156 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
234 root 1.155 - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
235     explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
236     catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
237     - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
238     that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
239 root 1.142 - backport inotify code to C89.
240 root 1.148 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
241 sf-exg 1.241 - ev_stat watchers could keep an erroneous extra ref on the loop,
242 root 1.151 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
243 root 1.150 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
244 root 1.143 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
245 root 1.145 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
246 root 1.144 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
247     (patch by Didier Spezia).
248 root 1.147 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
249     on fd creation, to avoid races.
250 root 1.150 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows
251     (analysed by lekma).
252 root 1.146 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
253     signalfd.
254 root 1.152 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
255 root 1.153 - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
256     so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
257 sf-exg 1.191 have caused the problems with 04_stat.t.
258 root 1.154 - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.
259 root 1.142
260 root 1.141 3.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
261 root 1.133 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
262     to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
263 root 1.135 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
264 sf-exg 1.191 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repeated
265 root 1.134 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
266 root 1.133 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
267     - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
268     state when using libev's signal handling.
269 root 1.136 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
270     on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.
271 root 1.132
272 root 1.131 3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:36:32 CEST 2009
273 root 1.128 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
274     instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
275     - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
276     - add new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata,
277 root 1.126 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb,
278 root 1.132 ev_invoke_pending, ev_pending_count, together with a long example
279     about thread locking.
280 root 1.128 - add ev_timer_remaining (as requested by Denis F. Latypoff).
281     - add ev_loop_depth.
282 root 1.124 - calling ev_unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
283     for new events.
284 root 1.115 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
285     - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
286     check that the syscall number is available before trying to
287     use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
288 root 1.117 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
289 root 1.116 slightly higher accuracy.
290 root 1.122 - properly declare ev_loop_verify and ev_now_update even when
291     !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
292 root 1.121 - do not compile in any priority code when EV_MAXPRI == EV_MINPRI.
293 root 1.123 - support EV_MINIMAL==2 for a reduced API.
294 root 1.125 - actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
295 root 1.127 - add section on hibernate and stopped processes to ev_timer docs.
296 root 1.115
297 root 1.113 3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:49:30 CEST 2009
298 root 1.107 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
299     will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
300 root 1.105 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
301     watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
302     that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
303     (reported by blacksand blacksand).
304 root 1.102 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
305     reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
306     Malek Hadj-Ali).
307 root 1.108 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
308 root 1.106 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
309 sf-exg 1.241 - add documentation section about priorities.
310 sf-exg 1.286 - add a glossary to the documentation.
311 root 1.111 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
312 root 1.112 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.
313 root 1.102
314 root 1.101 3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
315     - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
316     failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
317 root 1.100 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
318     back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
319     operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
320     - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
321     (default most everywhere), otherwise not.
322    
323 root 1.99 3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
324 root 1.97 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
325     missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
326     - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
327     - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
328     - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
329     select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
330     allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
331 root 1.95 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
332     libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
333     attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
334 root 1.96 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
335     should return fantasy port numbers.
336 root 1.100 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
337 root 1.97 clearer diagnostics.
338 root 1.98 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
339     a useless string instead of the expected version string
340     (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).
341 root 1.95
342 root 1.94 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008
343 root 1.91 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
344 root 1.92 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
345 root 1.87 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
346     a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
347 root 1.88 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
348     (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
349     (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
350 root 1.93 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
351     automatically.
352 root 1.89 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
353     to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
354     - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
355 root 1.90 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
356     ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
357 root 1.91 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
358 root 1.92 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
359     - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
360     so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
361 root 1.93 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.
362 root 1.87
363 root 1.86 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
364 root 1.83 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
365     kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
366     "known to be good" list.
367 root 1.84 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
368     (analysed by Roger Pack).
369 root 1.85 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
370     confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
371     I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
372     with their C compiler.
373 root 1.83
374 root 1.80 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:02:37 CET 2008
375 root 1.71 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
376     backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
377     ADD fails with EEXIST.
378 root 1.75 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
379 root 1.77 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
380 root 1.78 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
381     but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
382 root 1.71 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
383     init functions.
384 root 1.72 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
385     - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
386 root 1.73 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
387     to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
388 root 1.74 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
389     loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
390 root 1.79 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
391     do similar changes for event.c.
392 root 1.71
393 root 1.69 3.45 Tue Oct 21 21:59:26 CEST 2008
394 root 1.67 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
395     (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
396 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_stat erroneously would try to add inotify watchers
397 root 1.68 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
398 root 1.67 have a performance impact).
399 root 1.65 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
400     occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
401 root 1.66 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
402 root 1.65
403 root 1.62 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008
404     - embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the
405     embedded loop when the parent loop forks.
406 root 1.58 - new function: ev_now_update (loop).
407 root 1.57 - verify_watcher was not marked static.
408 root 1.59 - improve the "associating..." manpage section.
409 root 1.60 - documentation tweaks here and there.
410 root 1.57
411 root 1.56 3.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008
412 root 1.54 - include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64
413 root 1.56 (reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue).
414 root 1.53 - add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by
415     Matt Tolton).
416    
417 root 1.52 3.42 Tue Jun 17 12:12:07 CEST 2008
418 root 1.50 - work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's
419     multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming
420 root 1.51 otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton.
421     - define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile
422 root 1.48 (reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert).
423 root 1.49 - fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch
424     programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton.
425     - fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors
426     under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles).
427     reported by Matt Tolton.
428 root 1.50 - (try to) work around missing lstat on windows.
429 root 1.45 - pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows
430 root 1.46 is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that
431     switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't
432     have oob, so that would be stupid anyways.
433 root 1.47 - use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence
434     and some other default values.
435 root 1.45
436 root 1.44 3.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008
437 root 1.46 - work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you
438 root 1.40 provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky.
439 root 1.41 - improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon.
440 root 1.36 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
441     codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
442     - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
443     of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
444     2-based heaps.
445 root 1.38 - cache timestamp within heap for !EV_MINIMAL, to avoid random
446     memory accesses.
447     - document/add EV_USE_4HEAP and EV_HEAP_CACHE_AT.

453 root 1.40 - normalise WSA error codes to lower range on windows.
454 root 1.43 - add consistency check code that can be called automatically
455     or on demand to check for internal structures (ev_loop_verify).
456 root 1.31
457 root 1.30 3.31 Wed Apr 16 20:45:04 CEST 2008

459 root 1.29
460 root 1.28 3.3 Wed Apr 16 19:04:10 CEST 2008
461 root 1.23 - event_base_loopexit should return 0 on success
462     (W.C.A. Wijngaards).
463 root 1.20 - added linux eventfd support.
464     - try to autodetect epoll and inotify support
465     by libc header version if not using autoconf.

467     - declare functions defined in ev.h as inline if
468     C99 or gcc are available.
469     - enable inlining with gcc versions 2 and 3.
470 root 1.25 - work around broken poll implementations potentially
471     not clearing revents field in ev_poll (Brandon Black)
472     (no such systems are known at this time).
473 root 1.23 - work around a bug in realloc on openbsd and darwin,
474 sf-exg 1.191 also makes the erroneous valgrind complaints
475 root 1.23 go away (noted by various people).
476 root 1.26 - fix ev_async_pending, add c++ wrapper for ev_async
477 sf-exg 1.191 (based on patch sent by Johannes Deisenhofer).

482 root 1.15 - fix a 64 bit overflow issue in the select backend,
483     by using fd_mask instead of int for the mask.
484 root 1.16 - rename internal sighandler to avoid clash with very old perls.
485 root 1.18 - entering ev_loop will not clear the ONESHOT or NONBLOCKING
486     flags of any outer loops anymore.
