33.33 3WISH? monotonic clocks times/GetTickCount for coarse corrections?

5 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
6 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
7 "known to be good" list.
8 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
9 (analysed by Roger Pack).
10 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
11 confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
12 I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
13 with their C compiler.

16 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
17 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
18 ADD fails with EEXIST.
19 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
20 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
21 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
22 but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
23 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
24 init functions.
25 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
26 - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
27 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
28 to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
29 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
30 loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
31 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
32 do similar changes for event.c.
33
343.45 Tue Oct 21 21:59:26 CEST 2008
35 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
36 (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
37 - ev_stat errornously would try to add inotify watchers
38 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
39 have a performance impact).
40 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
41 occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
42 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
43
443.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008
45 - embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the
46 embedded loop when the parent loop forks.
47 - new function: ev_now_update (loop).
48 - verify_watcher was not marked static.
49 - improve the "associating..." manpage section.
50 - documentation tweaks here and there.
51
523.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008
53 - include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64
54 (reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue).
55 - add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by
56 Matt Tolton).
57
583.42 Tue Jun 17 12:12:07 CEST 2008
59 - work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's
60 multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming
61 otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton.
62 - define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile
63 (reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert).
64 - fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch
65 programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton.
66 - fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors
67 under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles).
68 reported by Matt Tolton.
69 - (try to) work around missing lstat on windows.
70 - pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows
71 is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that
72 switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't
73 have oob, so that would be stupid anyways.
74 - use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence
75 and some other default values.
76
773.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008
78 - work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you
79 provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky.
80 - improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon.
4 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces 81 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
5 codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency. 82 codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
6 - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use 83 - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
7 of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than 84 of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
8 2-based heaps. 85 2-based heaps.
12 - fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again. 89 - fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again.
13 - add/document ev_periodic_at, retract direct access to ->at. 90 - add/document ev_periodic_at, retract direct access to ->at.

15 - add portability requirements section. 92 - add portability requirements section.
16 - fix manpage headers etc. 93 - fix manpage headers etc.
94 - normalise WSA error codes to lower range on windows.
95 - add consistency check code that can be called automatically
96 or on demand to check for internal structures (ev_loop_verify).
