18 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
19 only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
20 SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
21 so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
22 (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
23 - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
24 (analyzed by Jason Madden).

27 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
28 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
29 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
30 watcher callbacks.

33 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
34 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
35 C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
36 declarations have to spell out the types each time.
37 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
38 functionality.

404.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
41 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
42 epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
43 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
44 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
45 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
46 when we can't detect the signal set size.
47 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
48 on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
49 doing clock_gettime in userspace).
50 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
51 loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
52 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
53 broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).

38 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by 86 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
39 Denis Bilenko). 87 Denis Bilenko).
88 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
89 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
90 the watcher base set (loop) method.
91 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
92 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
93 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
94 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
95 inotify-supporting filesystems.
96 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
97 versions ignore it before
98 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
99 - add some untested android support.
100 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
