3TODO: somehow unblock procmask? 3TODO: ABI??? API????? Changes???
4TODO: 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 - remove loop_ name component from ev_loop_count/depth/verify.
25 - switch to two-digit minor version.

28 - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
29 explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
30 catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
31 - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
32 that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
4 - backport inotify code to C89. 33 - backport inotify code to C89.
5 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes. 34 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
6 - ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop, 35 - ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop,
7 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases 36 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
8 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org). 37 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
9 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration 38 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
10 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management. 39 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
11 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h 40 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h

13 - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation.
14 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock 42 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock

16 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows 44 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows

18 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for 46 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
19 signalfd. 47 signalfd.
20 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff). 48 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
49 - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
50 so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
51 have caused the probems with 04_stat.t.
52 - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.

23 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler 55 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
24 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. 56 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
25 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members, 57 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
