2 2
3TODO: ev_loop_wakeup 3TODO: revisit 59.x timer in the light of mdoenr powersaving
4TODO: EV_STANDALONE == NO_HASSEL (do not use clock_gettime in ev_standalone) 4TODO: maybe use timerfd to detect time jumps on linux
5TODO: faq, process a thing in each iteration 5 - linuxaio backend might have tried to cancel an iocb
6TODO: dbeugging tips, ev_verify, ev_init twice 6 multiple times (was unable to trigger this).
7 - io_cancel can return EINTR, deal with it. also, assume
8 io_asubmit also retursn EINTR.
9 - fix some othe rminor bugs in linuxaio backend.
10 - cleanup: replace expect_true/false and noinline by their
11 libecb counterparts.
12 - move syscall infrastructure from ev_linuxaio.c to ev.c.
13 - prepare io_uring integration.
14 - tweak ev_floor.

8TODO: ev_feed_child_event 164.27 Thu Jun 27 22:43:44 CEST 2019
17 - linux aio backend almost completely rewritten to work around its
18 limitations.
19 - linux aio backend now requires linux 4.19+.
20 - epoll backend now mandatory for linux aio backend.
21 - fail assertions more aggressively on invalid fd's detected
22 in the event loop, do not just silently fd_kill in case of
23 user error.
24 - ev_io_start/ev_io_stop now verify the watcher fd using
25 a syscall when EV_VERIFY is 2 or higher.
26
274.26 (EV only)
28 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
29 - new experimental linux aio backend (linux 4.18+).
30 - removed redundant 0-ptr check in ev_once.
31 - updated/extended ev_set_allocator documentation.
32 - replaced EMPTY2 macro by array_needsize_noinit.
33 - minor code cleanups.
34 - epoll backend now uses epoll_create1 also after fork.
35
364.25 Fri Dec 21 07:49:20 CET 2018
37 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: EV_THROW was renamed to EV_NOEXCEPT
38 (EV_THROW still provided) and now uses noexcept on C++11 or newer.
39 - move the darwin select workaround higher in ev.c, as newer versions of
40 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
41 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
42 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
43 and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
44 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
45 - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications.
46 - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class.
47 - backport perl ev_periodic example to C, untested.
48 - update libecb, biggets change is to include a memory fence
49 in ECB_MEMORY_FENCE_RELEASE on x86/amd64.
50 - minor autoconf/automake modernisation.
51
524.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
53 - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
54 didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
55 version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
56
574.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
58 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
59 microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
60 otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
61
624.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
63 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
64 only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
65 SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
66 so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
67 (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
68 - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
69 (analyzed by Jason Madden).
70 - updated libecb.
71
724.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
73 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
74 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
75 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
76 watcher callbacks.
77
784.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
79 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
80 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
81 C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
82 declarations have to spell out the types each time.
83 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
84 functionality.
85
864.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
87 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
88 epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
89 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
90 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
91 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
92 when we can't detect the signal set size.
93 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
94 on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
95 doing clock_gettime in userspace).
96 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
97 loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
98 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
99 broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).

36 works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...). 131 works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
132 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
133 Denis Bilenko).
134 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
135 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
136 the watcher base set (loop) method.
137 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
138 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
139 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
140 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
141 inotify-supporting filesystems.
142 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
143 versions ignore it before
144 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
145 - add some untested android support.
146 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
