3WISH? monotonic clocks times/GetTickCount for coarse corrections? 3 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
4 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
5 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
6 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
7 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
8 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
9 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
10 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
11 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
12 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
13 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
14 should return fantasy port numbers.
15 - include "libev" all assertion messages for potentially
16 clearer diagnostics.
17 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
18 a useless string instead of the expected version string
19 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).

22 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
23 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
24 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
25 a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
26 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
27 (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
28 (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
29 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
30 automatically.
31 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
32 to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
33 - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
34 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
35 ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
36 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
37 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
38 - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
39 so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
40 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.

5 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on 43 - 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 44 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
7 "known to be good" list. 45 "known to be good" list.
8 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32) 46 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
9 (analysed by Roger Pack). 47 (analysed by Roger Pack).
48 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
49 confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
50 I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
51 with their C compiler.

12 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll 54 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
13 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if 55 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
14 ADD fails with EEXIST. 56 ADD fails with EEXIST.
