3TODO: ABI??? API????? Changes???
4TODO: win32 write() to socket for signal handling
5 - "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading.
6 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
7 testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
8 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
9 - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
10 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
11 - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
12 this might help (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher).
13 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
14 override it.
15 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
16 and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
17 and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
18 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
19 in an obscure case.
20 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
21 - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
22 no sscanf dependency).
23 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
24 - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
25 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
26 - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
27 - rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify.
28 - switch to two-digit minor version.
