3WISH? monotonic clocks times/GetTickCount for coarse corrections? 33.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
4 - 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).
6 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
7 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
8 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
9 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
10 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
11 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
12 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
13 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
14 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
15 should return fantasy port numbers.
16 - include "libev" all assertion messages for potentially
17 clearer diagnostics.
18 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
19 a useless string instead of the expected version string
20 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).

5TODO: "ev_stat on nfs" 223.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008
23 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
24 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
25 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
26 a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
27 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
28 (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
29 (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
30 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
31 automatically.
32 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
33 to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
34 - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
35 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
36 ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
37 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
38 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
39 - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
40 so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
41 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.

44 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
45 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
46 "known to be good" list.
47 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
48 (analysed by Roger Pack).
49 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
50 confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
51 I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
52 with their C compiler.

7 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll 55 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
8 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if 56 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
9 ADD fails with EEXIST. 57 ADD fails with EEXIST.
