| 5 | TODO: on_call_pending, on_suspend_resume ev_invoke_pending (EV_P) |
5 | and could leak into child processes. |
|
|
6 | - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration |

11 | - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock |

17 | - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler |
|

18 | to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. |

19 | - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members, |

21 | ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls. |

22 | - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems. |
|
|
23 | - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified |
|
|
24 | state when using libev's signal handling. |
