4 - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
5 failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
6 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
7 back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
8 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
9 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
10 (default most everywhere), otherwise not.

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

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

4 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on 53 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
5 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the 54 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
