# 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 1.331 TODO: revisit 59.x timer in the light of mdoenr powersaving
4 root 1.329 - linux aio backend almost complete rewritten to work around its
5     limitations.
6     - epoll backend now mandatory for linux aio backend.
7 root 1.330 - fail assertions more aggressively on invalid fd's detected
8     in the event loop, do not just silently fd_kill in case of
9     user error.
10     - ev_io_start/ev_io_stop now verify the watcher fd using
11     a syscall when EV_VERIFY is 2 or higher.
12 root 1.329
13     4.26 (EV only)
14     - update to libecb 0x00010006.
15 root 1.326 - new experimental linux aio backend (linux 4.18+).
16 root 1.324 - removed redundant 0-ptr check in ev_once.
17 root 1.325 - updated/extended ev_set_allocator documentation.
18 root 1.326 - replaced EMPTY2 macro by array_needsize_noinit.
19     - minor code cleanups.
20 root 1.327 - epoll backend now uses epoll_create1 also after fork.
21 root 1.324
22 root 1.320 4.25 Fri Dec 21 07:49:20 CET 2018
23     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: EV_THROW was renamed to EV_NOEXCEPT
24 root 1.323 (EV_THROW still provided) and now uses noexcept on C++11 or newer.
25 root 1.320 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newer versions of
26 root 1.316 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
27 root 1.314 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
28 root 1.315 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
29     and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
30 root 1.317 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
31 root 1.318 - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications.
32     - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class.
33 root 1.319 - backport perl ev_periodic example to C, untested.
34 root 1.321 - update libecb, biggets change is to include a memory fence
35     in ECB_MEMORY_FENCE_RELEASE on x86/amd64.
36 root 1.322 - minor autoconf/automake modernisation.
37 root 1.314
38 root 1.313 4.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
39     - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
40     didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
41     version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
42    
43 root 1.312 4.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
44 root 1.311 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
45     microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
46     otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
47    
48 root 1.310 4.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
49 root 1.308 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
50     only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
51     SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
52     so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
53     (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
54     - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
55     (analyzed by Jason Madden).
56 root 1.309 - updated libecb.
57 root 1.308
58 root 1.307 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
59 root 1.302 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
60 root 1.303 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
61 root 1.305 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
62 root 1.304 watcher callbacks.
63 root 1.301
64 root 1.300 4.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
65 root 1.298 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
66 root 1.299 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
67     C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
68     declarations have to spell out the types each time.
69 root 1.297 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
70     functionality.
71    
72 root 1.296 4.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
73 root 1.295 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
74     epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
75 root 1.288 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
76 root 1.289 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
77 root 1.291 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
78     when we can't detect the signal set size.
79 root 1.292 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
80     on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
81     doing clock_gettime in userspace).
82 root 1.293 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
83     loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
84 root 1.294 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
85     broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
86 root 1.288
87 root 1.287 4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:04:50 CET 2013
88 root 1.271 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
89     watcher (Denis Bilenko).
90 root 1.266 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
91     them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
92 root 1.261 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
93     further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
94     - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
95     syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
96 root 1.256 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
97     event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
98 root 1.273 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
99 root 1.263 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
100     be overfenced than underprotected.
101 root 1.256 - ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
102     still active).
103 root 1.252 - ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
104     libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
105 root 1.253 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
106     - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
107 root 1.259 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
108 root 1.254 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
109     the kqueue descriptor in the child.
110 root 1.282 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
111     in many cases.
112 root 1.262 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
113 root 1.268 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
114     common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
115 sf-exg 1.286 - choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
116 root 1.270 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
117     works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
118 root 1.274 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
119     Denis Bilenko).
120 root 1.275 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
121 root 1.276 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
122     the watcher base set (loop) method.
123 root 1.278 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
124 sf-exg 1.286 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
125 root 1.278 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
126 root 1.282 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
127     inotify-supporting filesystems.
128 root 1.283 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
129     versions ignore it before
130     (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
131 root 1.284 - add some untested android support.
132 root 1.285 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
133 root 1.253
134 root 1.250 4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:52:39 CET 2012
135 root 1.248 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
136     was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
137 root 1.249 - new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.
138 root 1.234 - fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
139     caused signals to not be handled anymore.
140 root 1.229 - correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows
141     specific workaround to avoid looping because we call both
142     select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
143 root 1.230 - document range and guarantees of ev_sleep.
144 root 1.231 - document reasonable ranges for periodics interval and offset.
145     - rename backend_fudge to backend_mintime to avoid future confusion :)
146 root 1.225 - change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully be more
147 root 1.226 exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far future.
148 root 1.225 - do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our
149 root 1.230 own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to embed,
150     as no external libraries are required.
151 root 1.232 - strategically import macros from libecb and mark rarely-used functions
152 sf-exg 1.239 as cache-cold (saving almost 2k code size on typical amd64 setups).
153 root 1.237 - add Symbols.ev and Symbols.event files, that were missing.
154 root 1.242 - fix backend_mintime value for epoll (was 1/1024, is 1/1000 now).
155 root 1.244 - fix #3 "be smart about timeouts" to not "deadlock" when
156     timeout == now, also improve the section overall.
157     - avoid "AVOIDING FINISHING BEFORE RETURNING" idiom.
158 root 1.245 - support new EV_API_STATIC mode to make all libev symbols
159     static.
160 root 1.251 - supply default CFLAGS of -g -O3 with gcc when original CFLAGS
161     were empty.
162 root 1.225
163 root 1.224 4.04 Wed Feb 16 09:01:51 CET 2011
164     - fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's
165     with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed
166     or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder).
167 root 1.221 - do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c.
168 root 1.222 - backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3.
169 root 1.223 - configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when
170     they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt).
171 root 1.221
172 root 1.219 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:37:25 CET 2011
173 root 1.217 - officially support polling files with all backends.
174 root 1.212 - support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
175     backend, by generating events on our own.
176 root 1.217 - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
177     (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
178     bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
179     than that).
180 root 1.209 - define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
181     #ifdef to test for them.
182 root 1.213 - new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
183     - new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
184     - new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
185 root 1.220 - updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION.
186 root 1.209
187 root 1.207 4.01 Fri Nov 5 21:51:29 CET 2010
188 root 1.205 - automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
189 root 1.206 to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
190     event.h on make install. grrr.
191     - ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
192 root 1.203 - change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
193 root 1.204 - use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.
194 root 1.203
195 root 1.202 4.00 Mon Oct 25 12:32:12 CEST 2010
196 root 1.171 - "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading.
197 root 1.161 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
198     testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
199 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_run will now always update the current loop time - it erroneously
200 root 1.187 didn't when idle watchers were active, causing timers not to fire.
201 root 1.179 - fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire
202     in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó).
203 root 1.164 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
204 root 1.166 - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
205 root 1.178 - prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it
206     seems the former is *much* faster than the latter.
207 root 1.197 - linux kernel version detection (for inotify bug workarounds)
208     did not work properly.
209 root 1.185 - reduce the number of spurious wake-ups with the ports backend.
210 root 1.158 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
211 root 1.186 - do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which avoids
212     an API quirk where the set function must be called in the C++ API
213     even when there is nothing to set.
214 root 1.174 - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
215 root 1.175 this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting
216     not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher).
217 root 1.176 - do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't
218     on freebsd...).
219 root 1.195 - allow to embed epoll on kernels >= 2.6.32.
220 root 1.159 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
221     override it.
222 root 1.190 - ev.pod: greatly expanded the portability section, added a porting
223     section, a description of watcher states and made lots of minor fixes.
224 root 1.160 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
225     and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
226     and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
227 root 1.162 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
228     in an obscure case.
229 root 1.163 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
230     - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
231     no sscanf dependency).
232 root 1.164 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
233 sf-exg 1.172 - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
234 root 1.165 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
235 root 1.168 - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
236 root 1.190 - rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify/loop/unloop.
237 root 1.197 - remove ev_default_destroy and ev_default_fork.
238 root 1.168 - switch to two-digit minor version.
239 root 1.180 - work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug.
240 root 1.181 - define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT. just so.
241 root 1.188 - use enum instead of #define for most constants.
242     - improve compatibility to older C++ compilers.
243 root 1.193 - (experimental) ev_run/ev_default_loop/ev_break/ev_loop_new have now
244     default arguments when compiled as C++.
245 root 1.196 - enable automake dependency tracking.
246 root 1.197 - ev_loop_new no longer leaks memory when loop creation failed.
247 root 1.198 - new ev_cleanup watcher type.
248 root 1.157
249 root 1.156 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
250 root 1.155 - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
251     explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
252     catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
253     - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
254     that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
255 root 1.142 - backport inotify code to C89.
256 root 1.148 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
257 sf-exg 1.241 - ev_stat watchers could keep an erroneous extra ref on the loop,
258 root 1.151 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
259 root 1.150 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
260 root 1.143 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
261 root 1.145 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
262 root 1.144 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
263     (patch by Didier Spezia).
264 root 1.147 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
265     on fd creation, to avoid races.
266 root 1.150 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows
267     (analysed by lekma).
268 root 1.146 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
269     signalfd.
270 root 1.152 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
271 root 1.153 - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
272     so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
273 sf-exg 1.191 have caused the problems with 04_stat.t.
274 root 1.154 - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.
275 root 1.142
276 root 1.141 3.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
277 root 1.133 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
278     to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
279 root 1.135 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
280 sf-exg 1.191 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repeated
281 root 1.134 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
282 root 1.133 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
283     - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
284     state when using libev's signal handling.
285 root 1.136 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
286     on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.
287 root 1.132
288 root 1.131 3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:36:32 CEST 2009
289 root 1.128 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
290     instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
291     - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
292     - add new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata,
293 root 1.126 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb,
294 root 1.132 ev_invoke_pending, ev_pending_count, together with a long example
295     about thread locking.
296 root 1.128 - add ev_timer_remaining (as requested by Denis F. Latypoff).
297     - add ev_loop_depth.
298 root 1.124 - calling ev_unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
299     for new events.
300 root 1.115 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
301     - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
302     check that the syscall number is available before trying to
303     use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
304 root 1.117 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
305 root 1.116 slightly higher accuracy.
306 root 1.122 - properly declare ev_loop_verify and ev_now_update even when
307     !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
308 root 1.121 - do not compile in any priority code when EV_MAXPRI == EV_MINPRI.
309 root 1.123 - support EV_MINIMAL==2 for a reduced API.
310 root 1.125 - actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
311 root 1.127 - add section on hibernate and stopped processes to ev_timer docs.
312 root 1.115
313 root 1.113 3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:49:30 CEST 2009
314 root 1.107 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
315     will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
316 root 1.105 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
317     watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
318     that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
319     (reported by blacksand blacksand).
320 root 1.102 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
321     reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
322     Malek Hadj-Ali).
323 root 1.108 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
324 root 1.106 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
325 sf-exg 1.241 - add documentation section about priorities.
326 sf-exg 1.286 - add a glossary to the documentation.
327 root 1.111 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
328 root 1.112 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.
329 root 1.102
330 root 1.101 3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
331     - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
332     failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
333 root 1.100 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
334     back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
335     operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
336     - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
337     (default most everywhere), otherwise not.

339 root 1.99 3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
340 root 1.97 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
341     missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
342     - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
343     - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
344     - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
345     select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
346     allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
347 root 1.95 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
348     libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
349     attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
350 root 1.96 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
351     should return fantasy port numbers.
352 root 1.100 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
353 root 1.97 clearer diagnostics.
354 root 1.98 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
355     a useless string instead of the expected version string
356     (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).
357 root 1.95
358 root 1.94 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008
359 root 1.91 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
360 root 1.92 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
361 root 1.87 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
362     a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
363 root 1.88 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
364     (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
365     (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
366 root 1.93 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
367     automatically.
368 root 1.89 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
369     to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
370     - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
371 root 1.90 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
372     ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
373 root 1.91 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
374 root 1.92 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
375     - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
376     so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
377 root 1.93 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.
378 root 1.87
379 root 1.86 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
380 root 1.83 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
381     kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
382     "known to be good" list.
383 root 1.84 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
384     (analysed by Roger Pack).
385 root 1.85 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
386     confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
387     I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
388     with their C compiler.
389 root 1.83
390 root 1.80 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:02:37 CET 2008
391 root 1.71 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
392     backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
393     ADD fails with EEXIST.
394 root 1.75 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
395 root 1.77 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
396 root 1.78 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
397     but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
398 root 1.71 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
399     init functions.
400 root 1.72 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
401     - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
402 root 1.73 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
403     to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
404 root 1.74 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
405     loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
406 root 1.79 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
407     do similar changes for event.c.
408 root 1.71
409 root 1.69 3.45 Tue Oct 21 21:59:26 CEST 2008
410 root 1.67 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
411     (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
412 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_stat erroneously would try to add inotify watchers
413 root 1.68 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
414 root 1.67 have a performance impact).
415 root 1.65 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
416     occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
417 root 1.66 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
418 root 1.65
419 root 1.62 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008
420     - embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the
421     embedded loop when the parent loop forks.
422 root 1.58 - new function: ev_now_update (loop).
423 root 1.57 - verify_watcher was not marked static.
424 root 1.59 - improve the "associating..." manpage section.
425 root 1.60 - documentation tweaks here and there.
426 root 1.57
427 root 1.56 3.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008
428 root 1.54 - include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64
429 root 1.56 (reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue).
430 root 1.53 - add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by
431     Matt Tolton).
432    
433 root 1.52 3.42 Tue Jun 17 12:12:07 CEST 2008
434 root 1.50 - work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's
435     multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming
436 root 1.51 otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton.
437     - define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile
438 root 1.48 (reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert).
439 root 1.49 - fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch
440     programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton.
441     - fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors
442     under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles).
443     reported by Matt Tolton.
444 root 1.50 - (try to) work around missing lstat on windows.
445 root 1.45 - pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows
446 root 1.46 is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that
447     switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't
448     have oob, so that would be stupid anyways.
449 root 1.47 - use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence
450     and some other default values.
451 root 1.45
452 root 1.44 3.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008
453 root 1.46 - work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you
454 root 1.40 provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky.
455 root 1.41 - improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon.
456 root 1.36 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
457     codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
458     - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
459     of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
460     2-based heaps.
461 root 1.38 - cache timestamp within heap for !EV_MINIMAL, to avoid random
462     memory accesses.
463     - document/add EV_USE_4HEAP and EV_HEAP_CACHE_AT.
464 root 1.33 - fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again.
465 root 1.35 - add/document ev_periodic_at, retract direct access to ->at.
466     - improve ev_stat docs.
467     - add portability requirements section.
468 root 1.39 - fix manpage headers etc.
469 root 1.40 - normalise WSA error codes to lower range on windows.
470 root 1.43 - add consistency check code that can be called automatically
471     or on demand to check for internal structures (ev_loop_verify).
472 root 1.31
473 root 1.30 3.31 Wed Apr 16 20:45:04 CEST 2008
474     - added last minute fix for ev_poll.c by Brandon Black.
475 root 1.29
476 root 1.28 3.3 Wed Apr 16 19:04:10 CEST 2008
477 root 1.23 - event_base_loopexit should return 0 on success
478     (W.C.A. Wijngaards).
479 root 1.20 - added linux eventfd support.
480     - try to autodetect epoll and inotify support
481     by libc header version if not using autoconf.
482 root 1.21 - new symbols: EV_DEFAULT_UC and EV_DEFAULT_UC_.
483     - declare functions defined in ev.h as inline if
484     C99 or gcc are available.
485     - enable inlining with gcc versions 2 and 3.
486 root 1.25 - work around broken poll implementations potentially
487     not clearing revents field in ev_poll (Brandon Black)
488     (no such systems are known at this time).
489 root 1.23 - work around a bug in realloc on openbsd and darwin,
490 sf-exg 1.191 also makes the erroneous valgrind complaints
491 root 1.23 go away (noted by various people).
492 root 1.26 - fix ev_async_pending, add c++ wrapper for ev_async
493 sf-exg 1.191 (based on patch sent by Johannes Deisenhofer).
494 root 1.26 - add sensible set method to ev::embed.
495 root 1.27 - made integer constants type int in ev.h.
496 root 1.20
497 root 1.19 3.2 Wed Apr 2 17:11:19 CEST 2008
498 root 1.15 - fix a 64 bit overflow issue in the select backend,
499     by using fd_mask instead of int for the mask.
500 root 1.16 - rename internal sighandler to avoid clash with very old perls.
501 root 1.18 - entering ev_loop will not clear the ONESHOT or NONBLOCKING
502     flags of any outer loops anymore.
503 root 1.17 - add ev_async_pending.
504 root 1.15
505 root 1.14 3.1 Thu Mar 13 13:45:22 CET 2008
506 root 1.12 - implement ev_async watchers.
507 root 1.10 - only initialise signal pipe on demand.
508     - make use of sig_atomic_t configurable.
509 root 1.14 - improved documentation.
510 root 1.10
511 root 1.9 3.0 Mon Jan 28 13:14:47 CET 2008
512 root 1.6 - API/ABI bump to version 3.0.
513 root 1.4 - ev++.h includes "ev.h" by default now, not <ev.h>.
514     - slightly improved documentation.
515 root 1.5 - speed up signal detection after a fork.
516 root 1.6 - only optionally return trace status changed in ev_child
517     watchers.

523     - remove event_compat.h from the libev tarball.
524     - change how include files are found.
525     - doc updates.
526     - update licenses, explicitly allow for GPL relicensing.
527    
528     2.0 Sat Dec 22 17:47:03 CET 2007
529     - new ev_sleep, ev_set_(io|timeout)_collect_interval.
