3TODO: accept() documentation
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 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
8 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
9 override it.
10 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
11 and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
12 and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
13 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
14 in an obscure case.
15 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
16 - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
17 no sscanf dependency).
18 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
19 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.

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

10 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler 49 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
11 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. 50 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
12 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members, 51 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
