3TODO: ev_walk
4TODO: remain
5 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
6 instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
7 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
8 - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
9 - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
10 check that the syscall number is available before trying to
11 use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
12 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
13 slightly higher accuracy.
14 - properly declare ev_loop_verify even when !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
15 - implement ev_loop_depth.

18 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
19 will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
20 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
21 watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
22 that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
23 (reported by blacksand blacksand).
24 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
25 reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
26 Malek Hadj-Ali).
27 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
28 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
29 - add documentation section about priorites.
30 - add a glossary to the dcoumentation.
31 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
32 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.

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

433.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
44 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
45 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
46 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
47 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
48 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
49 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
50 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
52 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
53 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
54 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
55 should return fantasy port numbers.
56 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
57 clearer diagnostics.
58 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
59 a useless string instead of the expected version string
60 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).

63 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
64 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
65 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
66 a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
67 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
68 (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
69 (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
70 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
71 automatically.
72 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
73 to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
74 - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
75 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
76 ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
77 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
78 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
79 - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
80 so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
81 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.

4 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on 84 - 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 85 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
6 "known to be good" list. 86 "known to be good" list.
