| 4 | TODO: EV_STANDALONE == NO_HASSEL (do not use clock_gettime in ev_standalone) |
4 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: EV_THROW was renamed to EV_NOEXCEPT |
| 5 | TODO: faq, process a thing in each iteration |
5 | (EV_THROW still provided) and now uses noexcept on C++11 or newer. |
| 6 | TODO: dbeugging tips, ev_verify, ev_init twice |
6 | - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newer versions of |
| 7 | TODO: ev_break for immediate exit (EVBREAK_NOW?) |
7 | darwin managed to break their broken select even more. |

| 10 | TODO: store pid for each signal |
10 | and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com). |
| 11 | TODO: document file descriptor usage per loop |

| 12 | TODO: store loop pid_t and compare isndie signal handler,store 1 for same, 2 for differign pid, clean up in loop_fork |
12 | - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications. |
| 13 | TODO: embed watchers need updating when fd changes |
13 | - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class. |
| 14 | TODO: document portbaility requirements for atomic pointer access |
14 | - backport perl ev_periodic example to C, untested. |
|
|
15 | - update libecb, biggets change is to include a memory fence |
|
|
16 | in ECB_MEMORY_FENCE_RELEASE on x86/amd64. |
|

|
|
20 | - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably |
|
|
21 | didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged |
|
|
22 | version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska). |

24 | 4.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016 |
|
|
25 | - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded |
|

26 | microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims |
|
|
27 | otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov). |

|
|
30 | - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild |
|
|
31 | only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid |
|
|
32 | SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork, |
|
|
33 | so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork |
|
|
34 | (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler). |
|
|
35 | - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32 |
|
|
36 | (analyzed by Jason Madden). |
|
|
37 | - updated libecb. |
|
|
38 | |
|
|
39 | 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015 |
|
|
40 | - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11. |
|
|
41 | - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11. |
|
|
42 | - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing |
|
|
43 | watcher callbacks. |
|
|
44 | |
|
|
45 | 4.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014 |
|
|
46 | - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than |
|
|
47 | clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately, |
|
|
48 | C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected |
|
|
49 | declarations have to spell out the types each time. |
|
|
50 | - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related |
|
|
51 | functionality. |
|
|
52 | |
|
|
53 | 4.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014 |
|
|
54 | - events on files were not always generated properly with the |
|
|
55 | epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal). |
|
|
56 | - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin). |
|
|
57 | - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat). |
|
|
58 | - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out |
|
|
59 | when we can't detect the signal set size. |
|
|
60 | - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall |
|
|
61 | on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems |
|
|
62 | doing clock_gettime in userspace). |
|
|
63 | - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible |
|
|
64 | loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet). |
|
|
65 | - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being |
|
|
66 | broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble). |
