3TODO: include ev_xyz_start in each example? 34.04 Wed Feb 16 09:01:51 CET 2011
4TODO: ev_pdef stupid idea? 4 - fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's
5TODO: EVRUN_XXX? 5 with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed
6 or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder).
7 - do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c.
8 - backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3.
9 - configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when
10 they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt).

13 - officially support polling files with all backends.
14 - support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
15 backend, by generating events on our own.
16 - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
17 (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
18 bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
19 than that).
20 - define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
21 #ifdef to test for them.
22 - new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
23 - new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
24 - new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
25 - updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION.

274.01 Fri Nov 5 21:51:29 CET 2010
28 - automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
29 to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
30 event.h on make install. grrr.
31 - ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
32 - change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
33 - use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.
