3 - backport inotify code to C89.
4 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
5 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
6 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
7 (patch by Didier Spezia).
8 - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation.

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

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

48 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
49 will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
50 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
51 watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
52 that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
53 (reported by blacksand blacksand).
54 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
55 reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
56 Malek Hadj-Ali).
57 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
58 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
59 - add documentation section about priorites.
60 - add a glossary to the dcoumentation.
61 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
62 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.
63
643.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
65 - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
66 failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
67 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
68 back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
69 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
70 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
71 (default most everywhere), otherwise not.
72
733.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
74 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
75 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
76 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
77 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
78 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
79 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
80 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
81 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
82 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
83 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
84 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
85 should return fantasy port numbers.
86 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
87 clearer diagnostics.
88 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
89 a useless string instead of the expected version string
90 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).
