3 | - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good |
| 4 | TODO: signal handling per loop |
4 | testcase by Vladimir Timofeev). |
| 5 | TODO: NSIG etc. |
5 | - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan. |
| 6 | TODO: NOSIGFD/NOEVTFD/NOINOTIFY? |
6 | - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu). |
| 7 | TODO: gotsig per-loop |
7 | - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still |
|
|
8 | override it. |
|
|
9 | - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace |
|
|
10 | and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported |
|
|
11 | and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans). |
|
|
12 | - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code |
|
|
13 | in an obscure case. |

|
|
16 | - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested |
|
|
17 | explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to |
|
|
18 | catch race conditions, but the users have spoken. |
|
|
19 | - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and |
|
|
20 | that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD. |
|
|
21 | - backport inotify code to C89. |
|
|
22 | - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes. |
|
|
23 | - ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop, |
|
|
24 | preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases |
|
|
25 | provided by ry@tinyclouds.org). |
|
|
26 | - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration |
|
|
27 | symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management. |
|
|
28 | - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h |
|
|
29 | (patch by Didier Spezia). |
|
|
30 | - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock |
|
|
31 | on fd creation, to avoid races. |
|
|
32 | - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows |
|
|
33 | (analysed by lekma). |
|
|
34 | - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for |
|
|
35 | signalfd. |
|
|
36 | - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff). |
|
|
37 | - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference, |
|
|
38 | so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might |
|
|
39 | have caused the probems with 04_stat.t. |
|
|
40 | - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API. |
|
