3TODO: ev_walk
4 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
5 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
6 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
7 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repated
8 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
9 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
10 - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
11 state when using libev's signal handling.
12 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
13 on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.

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

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

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

5 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett). 87 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
6 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use 88 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
