# 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 1.329 - linux aio backend almost complete rewritten to work around its
4     limitations.
5     - epoll backend now mandatory for linux aio backend.
6    
7     4.26 (EV only)
8     - update to libecb 0x00010006.
9 root 1.326 - new experimental linux aio backend (linux 4.18+).
10 root 1.324 - removed redundant 0-ptr check in ev_once.
11 root 1.325 - updated/extended ev_set_allocator documentation.
12 root 1.326 - replaced EMPTY2 macro by array_needsize_noinit.
13     - minor code cleanups.
14 root 1.327 - epoll backend now uses epoll_create1 also after fork.
15 root 1.324
16 root 1.320 4.25 Fri Dec 21 07:49:20 CET 2018
17     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: EV_THROW was renamed to EV_NOEXCEPT
18 root 1.323 (EV_THROW still provided) and now uses noexcept on C++11 or newer.
19 root 1.320 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newer versions of
20 root 1.316 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
21 root 1.314 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
22 root 1.315 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
23     and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
24 root 1.317 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
25 root 1.318 - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications.
26     - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class.
27 root 1.319 - backport perl ev_periodic example to C, untested.
28 root 1.321 - update libecb, biggets change is to include a memory fence
29     in ECB_MEMORY_FENCE_RELEASE on x86/amd64.
30 root 1.322 - minor autoconf/automake modernisation.
31 root 1.314
32 root 1.313 4.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
33     - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
34     didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
35     version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
36    
37 root 1.312 4.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
38 root 1.311 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
39     microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
40     otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
41    
42 root 1.310 4.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
43 root 1.308 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
44     only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
45     SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
46     so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
47     (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
48     - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
49     (analyzed by Jason Madden).
50 root 1.309 - updated libecb.
51 root 1.308
52 root 1.307 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
53 root 1.302 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
54 root 1.303 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
55 root 1.305 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
56 root 1.304 watcher callbacks.
57 root 1.301
58 root 1.300 4.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
59 root 1.298 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
60 root 1.299 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
61     C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
62     declarations have to spell out the types each time.
63 root 1.297 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
64     functionality.
65    
66 root 1.296 4.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
67 root 1.295 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
68     epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
69 root 1.288 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
70 root 1.289 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
71 root 1.291 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
72     when we can't detect the signal set size.
73 root 1.292 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
74     on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
75     doing clock_gettime in userspace).
76 root 1.293 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
77     loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
78 root 1.294 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
79     broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
80 root 1.288
81 root 1.287 4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:04:50 CET 2013
82 root 1.271 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
83     watcher (Denis Bilenko).
84 root 1.266 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
85     them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
86 root 1.261 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
87     further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
88     - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
89     syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
90 root 1.256 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
91     event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
92 root 1.273 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
93 root 1.263 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
94     be overfenced than underprotected.
95 root 1.256 - ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
96     still active).
97 root 1.252 - ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
98     libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
99 root 1.253 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
100     - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
101 root 1.259 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
102 root 1.254 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
103     the kqueue descriptor in the child.
104 root 1.282 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
105     in many cases.
106 root 1.262 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
107 root 1.268 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
108     common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
109 sf-exg 1.286 - choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
110 root 1.270 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
111     works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
112 root 1.274 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
113     Denis Bilenko).
114 root 1.275 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
115 root 1.276 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
116     the watcher base set (loop) method.
117 root 1.278 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
118 sf-exg 1.286 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
119 root 1.278 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
120 root 1.282 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
121     inotify-supporting filesystems.
122 root 1.283 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
123     versions ignore it before
124     (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
125 root 1.284 - add some untested android support.
126 root 1.285 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
127 root 1.253
128 root 1.250 4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:52:39 CET 2012
129 root 1.248 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
130     was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
131 root 1.249 - new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.
132 root 1.234 - fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
133     caused signals to not be handled anymore.
134 root 1.229 - correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows
135     specific workaround to avoid looping because we call both
136     select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
137 root 1.230 - document range and guarantees of ev_sleep.
138 root 1.231 - document reasonable ranges for periodics interval and offset.
139     - rename backend_fudge to backend_mintime to avoid future confusion :)
140 root 1.225 - change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully be more
141 root 1.226 exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far future.
142 root 1.225 - do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our
143 root 1.230 own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to embed,
144     as no external libraries are required.
145 root 1.232 - strategically import macros from libecb and mark rarely-used functions
146 sf-exg 1.239 as cache-cold (saving almost 2k code size on typical amd64 setups).
147 root 1.237 - add Symbols.ev and Symbols.event files, that were missing.
148 root 1.242 - fix backend_mintime value for epoll (was 1/1024, is 1/1000 now).
149 root 1.244 - fix #3 "be smart about timeouts" to not "deadlock" when
150     timeout == now, also improve the section overall.
151     - avoid "AVOIDING FINISHING BEFORE RETURNING" idiom.
152 root 1.245 - support new EV_API_STATIC mode to make all libev symbols
153     static.
154 root 1.251 - supply default CFLAGS of -g -O3 with gcc when original CFLAGS
155     were empty.
156 root 1.225
157 root 1.224 4.04 Wed Feb 16 09:01:51 CET 2011
158     - fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's
159     with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed
160     or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder).
161 root 1.221 - do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c.
162 root 1.222 - backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3.
163 root 1.223 - configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when
164     they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt).
165 root 1.221
166 root 1.219 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:37:25 CET 2011
167 root 1.217 - officially support polling files with all backends.
168 root 1.212 - support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
169     backend, by generating events on our own.
170 root 1.217 - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
171     (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
172     bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
173     than that).
174 root 1.209 - define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
175     #ifdef to test for them.
176 root 1.213 - new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
177     - new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
178     - new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
179 root 1.220 - updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION.
180 root 1.209
181 root 1.207 4.01 Fri Nov 5 21:51:29 CET 2010
182 root 1.205 - automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
183 root 1.206 to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
184     event.h on make install. grrr.
185     - ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
186 root 1.203 - change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
187 root 1.204 - use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.
188 root 1.203
189 root 1.202 4.00 Mon Oct 25 12:32:12 CEST 2010
190 root 1.171 - "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading.
191 root 1.161 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
192     testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
193 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_run will now always update the current loop time - it erroneously
194 root 1.187 didn't when idle watchers were active, causing timers not to fire.
195 root 1.179 - fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire
196     in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó).
197 root 1.164 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
198 root 1.166 - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
199 root 1.178 - prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it
200     seems the former is *much* faster than the latter.
201 root 1.197 - linux kernel version detection (for inotify bug workarounds)
202     did not work properly.
203 root 1.185 - reduce the number of spurious wake-ups with the ports backend.
204 root 1.158 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
205 root 1.186 - do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which avoids
206     an API quirk where the set function must be called in the C++ API
207     even when there is nothing to set.
208 root 1.174 - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
209 root 1.175 this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting
210     not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher).
211 root 1.176 - do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't
212     on freebsd...).
213 root 1.195 - allow to embed epoll on kernels >= 2.6.32.
214 root 1.159 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
215     override it.
216 root 1.190 - ev.pod: greatly expanded the portability section, added a porting
217     section, a description of watcher states and made lots of minor fixes.
218 root 1.160 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
219     and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
220     and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
221 root 1.162 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
222     in an obscure case.
223 root 1.163 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
224     - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
225     no sscanf dependency).
226 root 1.164 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
227 sf-exg 1.172 - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
228 root 1.165 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
229 root 1.168 - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
230 root 1.190 - rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify/loop/unloop.
231 root 1.197 - remove ev_default_destroy and ev_default_fork.
232 root 1.168 - switch to two-digit minor version.
233 root 1.180 - work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug.
234 root 1.181 - define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT. just so.
235 root 1.188 - use enum instead of #define for most constants.
236     - improve compatibility to older C++ compilers.
237 root 1.193 - (experimental) ev_run/ev_default_loop/ev_break/ev_loop_new have now
238     default arguments when compiled as C++.
239 root 1.196 - enable automake dependency tracking.
240 root 1.197 - ev_loop_new no longer leaks memory when loop creation failed.
241 root 1.198 - new ev_cleanup watcher type.
242 root 1.157
243 root 1.156 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
244 root 1.155 - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
245     explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
246     catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
247     - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
248     that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
249 root 1.142 - backport inotify code to C89.
250 root 1.148 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
251 sf-exg 1.241 - ev_stat watchers could keep an erroneous extra ref on the loop,
252 root 1.151 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
253 root 1.150 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
254 root 1.143 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
255 root 1.145 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
256 root 1.144 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
257     (patch by Didier Spezia).
258 root 1.147 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
259     on fd creation, to avoid races.
260 root 1.150 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows
261     (analysed by lekma).
262 root 1.146 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
263     signalfd.
264 root 1.152 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
265 root 1.153 - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
266     so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
267 sf-exg 1.191 have caused the problems with 04_stat.t.
268 root 1.154 - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.
269 root 1.142
270 root 1.141 3.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
271 root 1.133 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
272     to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
273 root 1.135 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
274 sf-exg 1.191 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repeated
275 root 1.134 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
276 root 1.133 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
277     - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
278     state when using libev's signal handling.
279 root 1.136 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
280     on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.
281 root 1.132
282 root 1.131 3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:36:32 CEST 2009
283 root 1.128 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
284     instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
285     - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
286     - add new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata,
287 root 1.126 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb,
288 root 1.132 ev_invoke_pending, ev_pending_count, together with a long example
289     about thread locking.
290 root 1.128 - add ev_timer_remaining (as requested by Denis F. Latypoff).
291     - add ev_loop_depth.
292 root 1.124 - calling ev_unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
293     for new events.
294 root 1.115 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
295     - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
296     check that the syscall number is available before trying to
297     use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
298 root 1.117 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
299 root 1.116 slightly higher accuracy.
300 root 1.122 - properly declare ev_loop_verify and ev_now_update even when
301     !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
302 root 1.121 - do not compile in any priority code when EV_MAXPRI == EV_MINPRI.
303 root 1.123 - support EV_MINIMAL==2 for a reduced API.
304 root 1.125 - actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
305 root 1.127 - add section on hibernate and stopped processes to ev_timer docs.
306 root 1.115
307 root 1.113 3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:49:30 CEST 2009
308 root 1.107 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
309     will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
310 root 1.105 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
311     watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
312     that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
313     (reported by blacksand blacksand).
314 root 1.102 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
315     reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
316     Malek Hadj-Ali).
317 root 1.108 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
318 root 1.106 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
319 sf-exg 1.241 - add documentation section about priorities.
320 sf-exg 1.286 - add a glossary to the documentation.
321 root 1.111 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
322 root 1.112 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.
323 root 1.102
324 root 1.101 3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
325     - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
326     failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
327 root 1.100 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
328     back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
329     operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
330     - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
331     (default most everywhere), otherwise not.
332    
333 root 1.99 3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
334 root 1.97 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
335     missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
336     - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
337     - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
338     - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
339     select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
340     allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
341 root 1.95 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
342     libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
343     attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
344 root 1.96 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
345     should return fantasy port numbers.
346 root 1.100 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
347 root 1.97 clearer diagnostics.
348 root 1.98 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
349     a useless string instead of the expected version string
350     (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).
351 root 1.95
352 root 1.94 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008
353 root 1.91 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
354 root 1.92 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
355 root 1.87 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
356     a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
357 root 1.88 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
358     (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
359     (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
360 root 1.93 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
361     automatically.
362 root 1.89 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
363     to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
364     - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
365 root 1.90 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
366     ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
367 root 1.91 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
368 root 1.92 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
369     - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
370     so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
371 root 1.93 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.
372 root 1.87
373 root 1.86 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
374 root 1.83 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
375     kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
376     "known to be good" list.
377 root 1.84 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
378     (analysed by Roger Pack).
379 root 1.85 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
380     confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
381     I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
382     with their C compiler.
383 root 1.83
384 root 1.80 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:02:37 CET 2008
385 root 1.71 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
386     backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
387     ADD fails with EEXIST.
388 root 1.75 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
389 root 1.77 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
390 root 1.78 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
391     but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
392 root 1.71 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
393     init functions.
394 root 1.72 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
395     - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
396 root 1.73 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
397     to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
398 root 1.74 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
399     loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
400 root 1.79 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
401     do similar changes for event.c.
402 root 1.71
403 root 1.69 3.45 Tue Oct 21 21:59:26 CEST 2008
404 root 1.67 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
405     (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
406 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_stat erroneously would try to add inotify watchers
407 root 1.68 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
408 root 1.67 have a performance impact).
409 root 1.65 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
410     occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
411 root 1.66 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
412 root 1.65
413 root 1.62 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008
414     - embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the
415     embedded loop when the parent loop forks.
416 root 1.58 - new function: ev_now_update (loop).
417 root 1.57 - verify_watcher was not marked static.
418 root 1.59 - improve the "associating..." manpage section.
419 root 1.60 - documentation tweaks here and there.
420 root 1.57
421 root 1.56 3.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008
422 root 1.54 - include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64
423 root 1.56 (reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue).
424 root 1.53 - add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by
425     Matt Tolton).
426    
427 root 1.52 3.42 Tue Jun 17 12:12:07 CEST 2008
428 root 1.50 - work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's
429     multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming
430 root 1.51 otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton.
431     - define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile
432 root 1.48 (reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert).
433 root 1.49 - fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch
434     programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton.
435     - fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors
436     under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles).
437     reported by Matt Tolton.
438 root 1.50 - (try to) work around missing lstat on windows.
439 root 1.45 - pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows
440 root 1.46 is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that
441     switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't
442     have oob, so that would be stupid anyways.
443 root 1.47 - use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence
444     and some other default values.
445 root 1.45
446 root 1.44 3.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008
447 root 1.46 - work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you
448 root 1.40 provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky.
449 root 1.41 - improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon.
450 root 1.36 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
451     codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
452     - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
453     of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
454     2-based heaps.
455 root 1.38 - cache timestamp within heap for !EV_MINIMAL, to avoid random
456     memory accesses.
457     - document/add EV_USE_4HEAP and EV_HEAP_CACHE_AT.
458 root 1.33 - fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again.

462 root 1.39 - fix manpage headers etc.
463 root 1.40 - normalise WSA error codes to lower range on windows.
464 root 1.43 - add consistency check code that can be called automatically
465     or on demand to check for internal structures (ev_loop_verify).
466 root 1.31
467 root 1.30 3.31 Wed Apr 16 20:45:04 CEST 2008
468     - added last minute fix for ev_poll.c by Brandon Black.
469 root 1.29
470 root 1.28 3.3 Wed Apr 16 19:04:10 CEST 2008
471 root 1.23 - event_base_loopexit should return 0 on success
472     (W.C.A. Wijngaards).
473 root 1.20 - added linux eventfd support.
474     - try to autodetect epoll and inotify support
475     by libc header version if not using autoconf.
476 root 1.21 - new symbols: EV_DEFAULT_UC and EV_DEFAULT_UC_.
477     - declare functions defined in ev.h as inline if
478     C99 or gcc are available.
479     - enable inlining with gcc versions 2 and 3.
480 root 1.25 - work around broken poll implementations potentially
481     not clearing revents field in ev_poll (Brandon Black)
482     (no such systems are known at this time).
483 root 1.23 - work around a bug in realloc on openbsd and darwin,
484 sf-exg 1.191 also makes the erroneous valgrind complaints
485 root 1.23 go away (noted by various people).
486 root 1.26 - fix ev_async_pending, add c++ wrapper for ev_async
487 sf-exg 1.191 (based on patch sent by Johannes Deisenhofer).

490 root 1.20

492 root 1.15 - fix a 64 bit overflow issue in the select backend,
493     by using fd_mask instead of int for the mask.
494 root 1.16 - rename internal sighandler to avoid clash with very old perls.
495 root 1.18 - entering ev_loop will not clear the ONESHOT or NONBLOCKING
496     flags of any outer loops anymore.
497 root 1.17 - add ev_async_pending.
498 root 1.15
499 root 1.14 3.1 Thu Mar 13 13:45:22 CET 2008
