9 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
10 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
11 some libevent 2.x funcitonality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
12 - ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
13 still active).
14 - ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
15 libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
16 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
17 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
18 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
19 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
20 the kqueue descriptor in the child.

23 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
24 was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
