14 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
15 watcher (Denis Bilenko).
16 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
17 them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
12 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for 18 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
13 further code size decrease when compiling for C++. 19 further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
14 - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator, 20 - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
15 syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs). 21 syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
16 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new, 22 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
17 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add 23 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
18 some libevent 2.x funcitonality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey). 24 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).

29 the kqueue descriptor in the child. 35 the kqueue descriptor in the child.
30 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h. 36 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
37 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
38 common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
39 - chose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
40 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
41 works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
42 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
43 Denis Bilenko).
44 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
45 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
46 the watcher base set (loop) method.
47 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
48 simplifies (and hopefuly correctifies :) the race checking
49 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
