3WISH? monotonic clocks times/GetTickCount for coarse corrections?

5 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
6 (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
7 - ev_stat errornously would try to add inotify watchers
8 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
9 have a performance impact).
10 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
11 occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
12 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
13
143.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008
15 - embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the
16 embedded loop when the parent loop forks.
17 - new function: ev_now_update (loop).
18 - verify_watcher was not marked static.
19 - improve the "associating..." manpage section.
20 - documentation tweaks here and there.

223.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008
23 - include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64
24 (reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue).
25 - add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by
26 Matt Tolton).

29 - work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's
30 multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming
31 otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton.
32 - define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile
33 (reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert).
34 - fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch
35 programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton.
36 - fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors
37 under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles).
38 reported by Matt Tolton.
39 - (try to) work around missing lstat on windows.
40 - pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows
41 is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that
42 switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't
43 have oob, so that would be stupid anyways.
44 - use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence
45 and some other default values.
46
473.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008
48 - work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you
49 provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky.
50 - improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon.
51 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
52 codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
53 - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
54 of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
55 2-based heaps.
56 - cache timestamp within heap for !EV_MINIMAL, to avoid random
57 memory accesses.
58 - document/add EV_USE_4HEAP and EV_HEAP_CACHE_AT.
59 - fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again.
60 - add/document ev_periodic_at, retract direct access to ->at.
61 - improve ev_stat docs.
62 - add portability requirements section.
63 - fix manpage headers etc.
64 - normalise WSA error codes to lower range on windows.
65 - add consistency check code that can be called automatically
66 or on demand to check for internal structures (ev_loop_verify).

683.31 Wed Apr 16 20:45:04 CEST 2008
69 - added last minute fix for ev_poll.c by Brandon Black.
70
713.3 Wed Apr 16 19:04:10 CEST 2008
3 - event_base_loopexit should return 0 on success 72 - event_base_loopexit should return 0 on success
4 (W.C.A. Wijngaards). 73 (W.C.A. Wijngaards).
5 - work around poll() potentially not clearing revents
6 field in ev_poll (Brandon Black).
7 - added linux eventfd support. 74 - added linux eventfd support.
8 - try to autodetect epoll and inotify support 75 - try to autodetect epoll and inotify support
9 by libc header version if not using autoconf. 76 by libc header version if not using autoconf.
10 - new symbols: EV_DEFAULT_UC and EV_DEFAULT_UC_. 77 - new symbols: EV_DEFAULT_UC and EV_DEFAULT_UC_.
11 - declare functions defined in ev.h as inline if 78 - declare functions defined in ev.h as inline if
12 C99 or gcc are available. 79 C99 or gcc are available.
13 - enable inlining with gcc versions 2 and 3. 80 - enable inlining with gcc versions 2 and 3.
81 - work around broken poll implementations potentially
82 not clearing revents field in ev_poll (Brandon Black)
83 (no such systems are known at this time).
14 - work around a bug in realloc on openbsd and darwin, 84 - work around a bug in realloc on openbsd and darwin,
15 also makes the errornous valgrind complaints 85 also makes the errornous valgrind complaints
16 go away (noted by various people). 86 go away (noted by various people).
87 - fix ev_async_pending, add c++ wrapper for ev_async
88 (based on patch sent by Johannes Deisenhofer.
89 - add sensible set method to ev::embed.
90 - made integer constants type int in ev.h.

19 - fix a 64 bit overflow issue in the select backend, 93 - fix a 64 bit overflow issue in the select backend,
20 by using fd_mask instead of int for the mask. 94 by using fd_mask instead of int for the mask.
21 - rename internal sighandler to avoid clash with very old perls. 95 - rename internal sighandler to avoid clash with very old perls.
