3TODO: ev_walk
4TODO: signal handling per loop

6TODO: nsig
7 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
8 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
9 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
10 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repated
11 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
12 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
13 - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
14 state when using libev's signal handling.

17 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
18 instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
19 - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
20 - add new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata,
21 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb,
22 ev_invoke_pending, ev_pending_count, together with a long example
23 about thread locking.
24 - add ev_timer_remaining (as requested by Denis F. Latypoff).
25 - add ev_loop_depth.
26 - calling ev_unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
27 for new events.
28 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
29 - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
30 check that the syscall number is available before trying to
31 use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
32 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
33 slightly higher accuracy.
34 - properly declare ev_loop_verify and ev_now_update even when
35 !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
36 - do not compile in any priority code when EV_MAXPRI == EV_MINPRI.
37 - support EV_MINIMAL==2 for a reduced API.
38 - actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
39 - add section on hibernate and stopped processes to ev_timer docs.

42 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
43 will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
44 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
45 watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
46 that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
47 (reported by blacksand blacksand).
48 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
49 reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
50 Malek Hadj-Ali).
51 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
52 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
53 - add documentation section about priorites.
54 - add a glossary to the dcoumentation.
55 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
56 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.

583.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
59 - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
60 failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
61 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
62 back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
63 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
64 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
65 (default most everywhere), otherwise not.
66
673.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
68 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
69 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
70 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
71 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
72 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
73 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
74 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
75 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
76 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
77 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
78 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
79 should return fantasy port numbers.
80 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
81 clearer diagnostics.
82 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
83 a useless string instead of the expected version string
84 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).
