3 - backport inotify code to C89.
4 - inotify file descriptors were not properly recreated after a fork,
5 and could leak into child processes.
6 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
7 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
8 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
9 (patch by Didier Spezia).
10 - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation.
11 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
12 on fd creation, to avoid races.
13 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
14 signalfd.

163.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
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,
20 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repated
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.
25 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
26 on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.

29 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
30 instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
31 - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
32 - add new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata,
33 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb,
34 ev_invoke_pending, ev_pending_count, together with a long example
35 about thread locking.
36 - add ev_timer_remaining (as requested by Denis F. Latypoff).
37 - add ev_loop_depth.
38 - calling ev_unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
39 for new events.
40 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
41 - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
42 check that the syscall number is available before trying to
43 use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
44 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
45 slightly higher accuracy.
46 - properly declare ev_loop_verify and ev_now_update even when
47 !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
48 - do not compile in any priority code when EV_MAXPRI == EV_MINPRI.
49 - support EV_MINIMAL==2 for a reduced API.
50 - actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
51 - add section on hibernate and stopped processes to ev_timer docs.
52
533.6 Tue Apr 28 02:49:30 CEST 2009
54 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
55 will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
56 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
57 watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
58 that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
59 (reported by blacksand blacksand).
60 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
61 reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
62 Malek Hadj-Ali).
63 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
64 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
65 - add documentation section about priorites.
66 - add a glossary to the dcoumentation.
67 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
68 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.

703.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
71 - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
72 failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
73 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
74 back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
75 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
76 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
77 (default most everywhere), otherwise not.

4 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos). 81 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
