4 | TODO: win32 write() to socket for signal handling |
|
|
5 | - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good |
|
|
6 | testcase by Vladimir Timofeev). |
|
|
7 | - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion). |
|
|
8 | - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES. |
|
|
9 | - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu). |
|
|
10 | - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still |
|
|
11 | override it. |
|
|
12 | - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace |
|
|
13 | and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported |
|
|
14 | and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans). |
|
|
15 | - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code |
|
|
16 | in an obscure case. |
|
|
17 | - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option. |
|
|
18 | - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster, |
|
|
19 | no sscanf dependency). |
|
|
20 | - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings. |
|
|
21 | - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newwer glibcs. |
|
|
22 | - add section on accept() problems to the manpage. |
|
|
23 | - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER. |
|
|
24 | - switch to two-digit minor version. |

|
|
27 | - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested |
|
|
28 | explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to |
|
|
29 | catch race conditions, but the users have spoken. |
|
|
30 | - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and |
|
|
31 | that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD. |
| 4 | - backport inotify code to C89. |
32 | - backport inotify code to C89. |

33 | - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes. |
|
|
34 | - ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop, |
|
|
35 | preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases |
|
|
36 | provided by ry@tinyclouds.org). |
| 6 | - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration |
37 | - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration |

43 | - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows |

|
|
47 | - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff). |
|
|
48 | - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference, |
|
|
49 | so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might |
|
|
50 | have caused the probems with 04_stat.t. |
|
|
51 | - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API. |
