3TODO: ev_loop_wakeup 34.25 Fri Dec 21 07:49:20 CET 2018
4TODO: EV_STANDALONE == NO_HASSEL (do not use clock_gettime in ev_standalone) 4 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: EV_THROW was renamed to EV_NOEXCEPT
5TODO: faq, process a thing in each iteration 5 (EV_THROW sitll provided) and now uses noexcept on C++11 or newer.
6TODO: dbeugging tips, ev_verify, ev_init twice 6 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newer versions of
7TODO: ev_break for immediate exit (EVBREAK_NOW?) 7 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
8TODO: ev_feed_child_event 8 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
9 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
10 and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
11 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
12 - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications.
13 - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class.
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.
17 - minor autoconf/automake modernisation.

10TODO: document the special problem of signals around fork. 194.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
11TODO: store pid for each signal 20 - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
12TODO: document file descriptor usage per loop 21 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 22 version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
14TODO: embed watchers need updating when fd changes 23
15TODO: document portbaility requirements for atomic pointer access 244.23 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).

294.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
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.

394.20 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
454.19 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
534.18 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).
