|
|
7 | - "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading. |
|
|
8 | - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good |
|
|
9 | testcase by Vladimir Timofeev). |
|
|
10 | - fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire |
|
|
11 | in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó). |
|
|
12 | - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion). |
|
|
13 | - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES. |
|
|
14 | - prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it |
|
|
15 | seems the former is *much* faster than the latter. |
|
|
16 | - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu). |
|
|
17 | - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue, |
|
|
18 | this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting |
|
|
19 | not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher). |
|
|
20 | - do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't |
|
|
21 | on freebsd...). |
|
|
22 | - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still |
|
|
23 | override it. |
|
|
24 | - greatly expanded the portability section. |
|
|
25 | - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace |
|
|
26 | and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported |
|
|
27 | and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans). |
|
|
28 | - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code |
|
|
29 | in an obscure case. |
|
|
30 | - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option. |
|
|
31 | - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster, |
|
|
32 | no sscanf dependency). |
|
|
33 | - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings. |
|
|
34 | - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs. |
|
|
35 | - add section on accept() problems to the manpage. |
|
|
36 | - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER. |
|
|
37 | - rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify. |
|
|
38 | - switch to two-digit minor version. |
|
|
39 | - work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug. |
|
|
40 | - define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT. just so. |
|
