3TODO: ABI??? API????? Changes???
4 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
5 testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
6 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
7 - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
8 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
9 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
10 override it.
11 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
12 and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
13 and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
14 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
15 in an obscure case.
16 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
17 - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
18 no sscanf dependency).
19 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
20 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.

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

6 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler 50 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
7 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. 51 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
8 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members, 52 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
