9 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
10 watcher (Denis Bilenko).
11 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
12 them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
13 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
14 further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
15 - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
16 syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
17 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
18 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
19 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
20 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
21 be overfenced than underprotected.
22 - ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
23 still active).
24 - ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
25 libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
26 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
27 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
28 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
29 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
30 the kqueue descriptor in the child.
31 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
32 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
33 common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
34 - chose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
35 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
36 works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).

39 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
40 was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
41 - new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.

64 - supply default CFLAGS of -g -O3 with gcc when original CFLAGS
65 were empty.
