3 - backport inotify code to C89.

53.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
6 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
7 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
8 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
9 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repated
10 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
11 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
12 - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
13 state when using libev's signal handling.
14 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
15 on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.

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

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

593.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
60 - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
61 failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
62 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
63 back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
64 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
65 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
66 (default most everywhere), otherwise not.
