3TODO: ev_walk 3 - backport inotify code to C89.
4TODO: remain 4 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
5TODO: EV_MINIMAL 5 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
6 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
7 (patch by Didier Spezia).
8 - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation.
9 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
10 signalfd.

7 - new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata, 123.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
8 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb, 13 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
9 ev_invoke_pending, together with a long example about thread 14 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
10 locking. 15 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
16 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repated
17 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
18 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
19 - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
20 state when using libev's signal handling.
21 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
22 on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.

31 about thread locking.
