6 | - the new timerfd code wrongly changed the priority of ther signal |
|
|
7 | fd watcher, which is usuallys harmless unless signal fds are |
|
|
8 | also used (found via cpan tester service). |
|
|
9 | - support a lot more "uncommon" compile time configurations, |
|
|
10 | such as ev_embed enabled but ev_timer disabled. |

|
13 | - handle backends with minimum wait time a bit better by not |
|
|
14 | waiting in the presence of already-expired timers |
|
|
15 | (behaviour reported by Felipe Gasper). |
|
|
16 | - new feature: use timerfd to detect timejumps quickly, |
|
|
17 | can be disabled with the new EVFLAG_NOTIMERFD loop flag. |
|
|
18 | - document EV_USE_SIGNALFD feature macro. |

21 | - change non-autoconf test for __kernel_rwf_t by testing |
|
|
22 | LINUX_VERSION_CODE, the most direct test I could find. |
|
|
23 | - fix a bug in the io_uring backend that polled the wrong |
|
|
24 | backend fd, causing it to not work in many cases. |
|
|
25 | |
|
|
26 | 4.29 (EV only) |
|
|
27 | - add io uring autoconf and non-autoconf detection. |

|
|
35 | - linuxaio backend now employs a generation counter to |
