14 | - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES. |
|
|
15 | - prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it |
|

16 | seems the former is *much* faster than the latter. |
|

19 | - do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which avoids |

20 | an API quirk where the set function must be called in the C++ API |
|

22 | - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue, |

23 | this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting |
|
|
24 | not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher). |

25 | - do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't |
