6 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
7 will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
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 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
16 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
17 - add documentation section about priorites.
18 - add a glossary to the dcoumentation.

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

30 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
31 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
32 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
33 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
34 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
35 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
36 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
37 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
38 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
39 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
40 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
41 should return fantasy port numbers.
42 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
43 clearer diagnostics.
44 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
45 a useless string instead of the expected version string
46 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).

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

10 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on 70 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
11 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the 71 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
12 "known to be good" list. 72 "known to be good" list.
