7TODO: ^ OR use WSASend/WSARecv on the handle, which always works 17 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
8TODO: assert on fd watcher linked list pointing to itself 18 watcher (Denis Bilenko).
19 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
20 them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
9 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for 21 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
10 further code size decrease when compiling for C++. 22 further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
11 - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator, 23 - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
12 syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs). 24 syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
13 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new, 25 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
14 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add 26 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
15 some libevent 2.x funcitonality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey). 27 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
16 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better 28 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better

22 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride). 34 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).

25 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking 37 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
26 the kqueue descriptor in the child. 38 the kqueue descriptor in the child.
39 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
40 in many cases.
27 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h. 41 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
42 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
43 common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
44 - choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
45 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
46 works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
47 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
48 Denis Bilenko).
49 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
50 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
51 the watcher base set (loop) method.
52 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
53 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
54 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
55 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
56 inotify-supporting filesystems.
57 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
58 versions ignore it before
59 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
60 - add some untested android support.
61 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
