8 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
9 watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
10 that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
11 (reported by blacksand blacksand).
12 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
13 reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
14 Malek Hadj-Ali).
15 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.

18 - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
19 failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
20 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
21 back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
22 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
23 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
24 (default most everywhere), otherwise not.
25
263.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
27 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
28 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
29 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
30 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
31 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
32 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
33 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
34 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
35 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
36 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
37 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
38 should return fantasy port numbers.
39 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
40 clearer diagnostics.
41 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
42 a useless string instead of the expected version string
43 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).

453.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008
46 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
47 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
48 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
49 a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
50 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
51 (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
52 (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
53 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
54 automatically.
55 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
56 to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
57 - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
58 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
59 ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
60 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
61 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
62 - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
63 so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
64 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.

4 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on 67 - 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 68 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
6 "known to be good" list. 69 "known to be good" list.
