3TODO: ev_loop_wakeup 3 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newre versions of
4TODO: EV_STANDALONE == NO_HASSEL (do not use clock_gettime in ev_standalone) 4 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
5TODO: faq, process a thing in each iteration 5 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
6TODO: dbeugging tips, ev_verify, ev_init twice 6 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
7TODO: ev_break for immediate exit (EVBREAK_NOW?) 7 and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).

10TODO: document the special problem of signals around fork. 94.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
11TODO: store pid for each signal 10 - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
12TODO: document file descriptor usage per loop 11 didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
13TODO: store loop pid_t and compare isndie signal handler,store 1 for same, 2 for differign pid, clean up in loop_fork 12 version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
14TODO: embed watchers need updating when fd changes 13
15TODO: document portbaility requirements for atomic pointer access 144.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
15 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
16 microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
17 otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).

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

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

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