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

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.

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.

4 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is 68 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
5 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos). 69 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
6 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode. 70 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
