11 - fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
12 caused signals to not be handled anymore.
13 - correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows
14 specific workaround to avoid looping because we call both
15 select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
16 - document range and guarantees of ev_sleep.
17 - document reasonable ranges for periodics interval and offset.
18 - rename backend_fudge to backend_mintime to avoid future confusion :)
8 - change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully be more 19 - change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully be more
9 exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far future. 20 exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far future.
10 - document reasonable ranges for interval and offset.
11 - do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our 21 - do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our
12 own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to embed. 22 own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to embed,
23 as no external libraries are required.
24 - strategically import macros from libecb and mark rarely-used functions
25 as cache-cold (saving almost 2k code size on typical amd64 setups).
26 - add Symbols.ev and Symbols.event files, that were missing.
27 - fix backend_mintime value for epoll (was 1/1024, is 1/1000 now).
