13 syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs). 23 syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
14 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new, 24 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
15 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add 25 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
16 some libevent 2.x funcitonality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey). 26 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).

27 the kqueue descriptor in the child. 37 the kqueue descriptor in the child.
38 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
39 in many cases.
28 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h. 40 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.

30 common reported usage bug in ev_io_start. 42 common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
31 - chose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET. 43 - chose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
32 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this 44 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
33 works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...). 45 works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
46 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
47 Denis Bilenko).
48 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
49 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
50 the watcher base set (loop) method.
51 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
52 simplifies (and hopefuly correctifies :) the race checking
53 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
54 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
55 inotify-supporting filesystems.
56 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
57 versions ignore it before
58 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
59 - add some untested android support.
