3 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
4 testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
5 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan.
6 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
7 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
8 override it.
9 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
10 and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
11 and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
12 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
13 in an obscure case.

16 - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
17 explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
18 catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
19 - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
20 that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
3 - backport inotify code to C89. 21 - backport inotify code to C89.
4 - inotify file descriptors were not properly recreated after a fork,
5 and could leak into child processes. 22 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
23 - ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop,
24 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
25 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
6 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration 26 - 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. 27 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.

10 - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation.
11 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock 30 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
12 on fd creation, to avoid races. 31 on fd creation, to avoid races.
32 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows
33 (analysed by lekma).
13 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for 34 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
14 signalfd. 35 signalfd.
36 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
37 - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
38 so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
39 have caused the probems with 04_stat.t.
40 - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.

17 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler 43 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
