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) 4 - linuxaio backend might have tried to cancel an iocb
5TODO: faq, process a thing in each iteration 5 multiple times (was unable to trigger this).
6TODO: dbeugging tips, ev_verify, ev_init twice 6 - io_cancel can return EINTR, deal with it. also, assume
7 io_asubmit also retursn EINTR.
8 - cleanup: replace expect_true/false and noinline by their
9 libecb counterparts.
10 - move syscall infrastructure from ev_linuxaio.c to ev.c.
11 - prepare io_uring integration.

8TODO: document the special problem of signals around fork. 134.27 Thu Jun 27 22:43:44 CEST 2019
9TODO: ev_feed_child_event 14 - linux aio backend almost completely rewritten to work around its
15 limitations.
16 - linux aio backend now requires linux 4.19+.
17 - epoll backend now mandatory for linux aio backend.
18 - fail assertions more aggressively on invalid fd's detected
19 in the event loop, do not just silently fd_kill in case of
20 user error.
21 - ev_io_start/ev_io_stop now verify the watcher fd using
22 a syscall when EV_VERIFY is 2 or higher.
23
244.26 (EV only)
25 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
26 - new experimental linux aio backend (linux 4.18+).
27 - removed redundant 0-ptr check in ev_once.
28 - updated/extended ev_set_allocator documentation.
29 - replaced EMPTY2 macro by array_needsize_noinit.
30 - minor code cleanups.
31 - epoll backend now uses epoll_create1 also after fork.
32
334.25 Fri Dec 21 07:49:20 CET 2018
34 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: EV_THROW was renamed to EV_NOEXCEPT
35 (EV_THROW still provided) and now uses noexcept on C++11 or newer.
36 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newer versions of
37 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
38 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
39 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
40 and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
41 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
42 - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications.
43 - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class.
44 - backport perl ev_periodic example to C, untested.
45 - update libecb, biggets change is to include a memory fence
46 in ECB_MEMORY_FENCE_RELEASE on x86/amd64.
47 - minor autoconf/automake modernisation.
48
494.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
50 - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
51 didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
52 version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
53
544.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
55 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
56 microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
57 otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
58
594.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
60 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
61 only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
62 SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
63 so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
64 (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
65 - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
66 (analyzed by Jason Madden).
67 - updated libecb.
68
694.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
70 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
71 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
72 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
73 watcher callbacks.
74
754.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
76 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
77 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
78 C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
79 declarations have to spell out the types each time.
80 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
81 functionality.
82
834.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
84 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
85 epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
86 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
87 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
88 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
89 when we can't detect the signal set size.
90 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
91 on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
92 doing clock_gettime in userspace).
93 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
94 loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
95 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
96 broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).

134 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
135 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
136 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
137 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
138 inotify-supporting filesystems.
139 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
140 versions ignore it before
141 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
142 - add some untested android support.
143 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
