3TODO: ev_loop_wakeup 34.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
4TODO: EV_STANDALONE == NO_HASSEL (do not use clock_gettime in ev_standalone) 4 - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
5TODO: faq, process a thing in each iteration 5 didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
6TODO: dbeugging tips, ev_verify, ev_init twice 6 version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).

10TODO: document the special problem of signals around fork. 84.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
11TODO: store pid for each signal 9 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
12TODO: document file descriptor usage per loop 10 microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
13TODO: store loop pid_t and compare isndie signal handler,store 1 for same, 2 for differign pid, clean up in loop_fork 11 otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
14TODO: embed watchers need updating when fd changes 12
15TODO: document portbaility requirements for atomic pointer access 134.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
14 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
15 only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
16 SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
17 so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
18 (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
19 - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
20 (analyzed by Jason Madden).
21 - updated libecb.

234.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
24 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
25 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
26 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
27 watcher callbacks.

294.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
30 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
31 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
32 C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
33 declarations have to spell out the types each time.
34 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
35 functionality.
36
374.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
38 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
39 epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
40 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
41 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
42 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
43 when we can't detect the signal set size.
44 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
45 on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
46 doing clock_gettime in userspace).
47 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
48 loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
49 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
50 broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
