6 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
7 will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
8 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
9 watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
10 that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
11 (reported by blacksand blacksand).
12 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
13 reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
14 Malek Hadj-Ali).
15 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
16 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
17 - add documentation section about priorites.
18 - add a glossary to the dcoumentation.
19 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.

22 - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
23 failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
24 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
25 back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
26 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
27 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
28 (default most everywhere), otherwise not.

31 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
32 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
33 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
34 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
35 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
36 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
37 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
38 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
39 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
40 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
41 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
42 should return fantasy port numbers.
43 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
44 clearer diagnostics.
45 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
46 a useless string instead of the expected version string
47 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).

50 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
51 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
52 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
53 a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
54 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
55 (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
56 (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
57 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
58 automatically.
59 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
60 to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
61 - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
62 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
63 ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
64 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
65 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
66 - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
67 so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
68 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.

5 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on 71 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
6 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the 72 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
7 "known to be good" list. 73 "known to be good" list.
8 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32) 74 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
9 (analysed by Roger Pack). 75 (analysed by Roger Pack).
76 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
77 confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
78 I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
79 with their C compiler.

12 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll 82 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
13 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if 83 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
14 ADD fails with EEXIST. 84 ADD fails with EEXIST.
