1 Revision history for libev, a high-performance and full-featured event loop.
2
3 4.25 Fri Dec 21 07:49:20 CET 2018
4 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: EV_THROW was renamed to EV_NOEXCEPT
5 (EV_THROW sitll provided) and now uses noexcept on C++11 or newer.
6 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newer versions of
7 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
8 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
9 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
10 and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
11 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
12 - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications.
13 - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class.
14 - backport perl ev_periodic example to C, untested.
15
16 4.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
17 - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
18 didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
19 version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
20
21 4.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
22 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
23 microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
24 otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
25
26 4.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
27 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
28 only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
29 SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
30 so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
31 (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
32 - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
33 (analyzed by Jason Madden).
34 - updated libecb.
35
36 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
37 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
38 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
39 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
40 watcher callbacks.
41
42 4.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
43 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
44 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
45 C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
46 declarations have to spell out the types each time.
47 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
48 functionality.
49
50 4.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
51 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
52 epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
53 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
54 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
55 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
56 when we can't detect the signal set size.
57 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
58 on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
59 doing clock_gettime in userspace).
60 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
61 loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
62 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
63 broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
64
65 4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:04:50 CET 2013
66 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
67 watcher (Denis Bilenko).
68 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
69 them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
70 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
71 further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
72 - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
73 syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
74 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
75 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
76 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
77 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
78 be overfenced than underprotected.
79 - ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
80 still active).
81 - ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
82 libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
83 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
84 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
85 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
86 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
87 the kqueue descriptor in the child.
88 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
89 in many cases.
90 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
91 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
92 common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
93 - choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
94 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
95 works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
96 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
97 Denis Bilenko).
98 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
99 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
100 the watcher base set (loop) method.
101 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
102 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
103 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
104 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
105 inotify-supporting filesystems.
106 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
107 versions ignore it before
108 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
109 - add some untested android support.
110 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
111
112 4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:52:39 CET 2012
113 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
114 was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
115 - new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.
116 - fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
117 caused signals to not be handled anymore.
118 - correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows
119 specific workaround to avoid looping because we call both
120 select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
121 - document range and guarantees of ev_sleep.
122 - document reasonable ranges for periodics interval and offset.
123 - rename backend_fudge to backend_mintime to avoid future confusion :)
124 - change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully be more
125 exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far future.
126 - do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our
127 own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to embed,
128 as no external libraries are required.
129 - strategically import macros from libecb and mark rarely-used functions
130 as cache-cold (saving almost 2k code size on typical amd64 setups).
131 - add Symbols.ev and Symbols.event files, that were missing.
132 - fix backend_mintime value for epoll (was 1/1024, is 1/1000 now).
133 - fix #3 "be smart about timeouts" to not "deadlock" when
134 timeout == now, also improve the section overall.
135 - avoid "AVOIDING FINISHING BEFORE RETURNING" idiom.
136 - support new EV_API_STATIC mode to make all libev symbols
137 static.
138 - supply default CFLAGS of -g -O3 with gcc when original CFLAGS
139 were empty.
140
141 4.04 Wed Feb 16 09:01:51 CET 2011
142 - fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's
143 with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed
144 or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder).
145 - do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c.
146 - backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3.
147 - configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when
148 they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt).
149
150 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:37:25 CET 2011
151 - officially support polling files with all backends.
152 - support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
153 backend, by generating events on our own.
154 - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
155 (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
156 bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
157 than that).
158 - define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
159 #ifdef to test for them.
160 - new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
161 - new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
162 - new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
163 - updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION.
164
165 4.01 Fri Nov 5 21:51:29 CET 2010
166 - automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
167 to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
168 event.h on make install. grrr.
169 - ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
170 - change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
171 - use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.
172
173 4.00 Mon Oct 25 12:32:12 CEST 2010
174 - "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading.
175 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
176 testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
177 - ev_run will now always update the current loop time - it erroneously
178 didn't when idle watchers were active, causing timers not to fire.
179 - fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire
180 in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó).
181 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
182 - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
183 - prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it
184 seems the former is *much* faster than the latter.
185 - linux kernel version detection (for inotify bug workarounds)
186 did not work properly.
187 - reduce the number of spurious wake-ups with the ports backend.
188 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
189 - do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which avoids
190 an API quirk where the set function must be called in the C++ API
191 even when there is nothing to set.
192 - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
193 this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting
194 not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher).
195 - do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't
196 on freebsd...).
197 - allow to embed epoll on kernels >= 2.6.32.
198 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
199 override it.
200 - ev.pod: greatly expanded the portability section, added a porting
201 section, a description of watcher states and made lots of minor fixes.
202 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
203 and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
204 and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
205 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
206 in an obscure case.
207 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
208 - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
209 no sscanf dependency).
210 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
211 - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
212 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
213 - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
214 - rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify/loop/unloop.
215 - remove ev_default_destroy and ev_default_fork.
216 - switch to two-digit minor version.
217 - work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug.
218 - define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT. just so.
219 - use enum instead of #define for most constants.
220 - improve compatibility to older C++ compilers.
221 - (experimental) ev_run/ev_default_loop/ev_break/ev_loop_new have now
222 default arguments when compiled as C++.
223 - enable automake dependency tracking.
224 - ev_loop_new no longer leaks memory when loop creation failed.
225 - new ev_cleanup watcher type.
226
227 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
228 - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
229 explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
230 catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
231 - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
232 that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
233 - backport inotify code to C89.
234 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
235 - ev_stat watchers could keep an erroneous extra ref on the loop,
236 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
237 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
238 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
239 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
240 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
241 (patch by Didier Spezia).
242 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
243 on fd creation, to avoid races.
244 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows
245 (analysed by lekma).
246 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
247 signalfd.
248 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
249 - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
250 so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
251 have caused the problems with 04_stat.t.
252 - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.
253
254 3.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
255 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
256 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
257 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
258 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repeated
259 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
260 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
261 - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
262 state when using libev's signal handling.
263 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
264 on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.
265
266 3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:36:32 CEST 2009
267 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
268 instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
269 - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
270 - add new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata,
271 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb,
272 ev_invoke_pending, ev_pending_count, together with a long example
273 about thread locking.
274 - add ev_timer_remaining (as requested by Denis F. Latypoff).
275 - add ev_loop_depth.
276 - calling ev_unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
277 for new events.
278 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
279 - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
280 check that the syscall number is available before trying to
281 use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
282 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
283 slightly higher accuracy.
284 - properly declare ev_loop_verify and ev_now_update even when
285 !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
286 - do not compile in any priority code when EV_MAXPRI == EV_MINPRI.
287 - support EV_MINIMAL==2 for a reduced API.
288 - actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
289 - add section on hibernate and stopped processes to ev_timer docs.
290
291 3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:49:30 CEST 2009
292 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
293 will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
294 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
295 watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
296 that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
297 (reported by blacksand blacksand).
298 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
299 reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
300 Malek Hadj-Ali).
301 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
302 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
303 - add documentation section about priorities.
304 - add a glossary to the documentation.
305 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
306 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.
307
308 3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
309 - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
310 failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
311 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
312 back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
313 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
314 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
315 (default most everywhere), otherwise not.
316
317 3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
318 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
319 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
320 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
321 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
322 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
323 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
324 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
325 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
326 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
327 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
328 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
329 should return fantasy port numbers.
330 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
331 clearer diagnostics.
332 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
333 a useless string instead of the expected version string
334 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).
335
336 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008
337 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
338 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
339 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
340 a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
341 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
342 (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
343 (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
344 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
345 automatically.
346 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
347 to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
348 - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
349 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
350 ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
351 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
352 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
353 - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
354 so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
355 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.
356
357 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
358 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
359 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
360 "known to be good" list.
361 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
362 (analysed by Roger Pack).
363 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
364 confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
365 I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
366 with their C compiler.
367
368 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:02:37 CET 2008
369 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
370 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
371 ADD fails with EEXIST.
372 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
373 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
374 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
375 but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
376 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
377 init functions.
378 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
379 - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
380 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
381 to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
382 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
383 loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
384 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
385 do similar changes for event.c.
386
387 3.45 Tue Oct 21 21:59:26 CEST 2008
388 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
389 (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
390 - ev_stat erroneously would try to add inotify watchers
391 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
392 have a performance impact).
393 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
394 occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
395 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
396
397 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008
398 - embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the
399 embedded loop when the parent loop forks.
400 - new function: ev_now_update (loop).
401 - verify_watcher was not marked static.
402 - improve the "associating..." manpage section.
403 - documentation tweaks here and there.
404
405 3.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008
406 - include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64
407 (reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue).
408 - add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by
409 Matt Tolton).
410
411 3.42 Tue Jun 17 12:12:07 CEST 2008
412 - work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's
413 multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming
414 otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton.
415 - define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile
416 (reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert).
417 - fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch
418 programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton.
419 - fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors
420 under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles).
421 reported by Matt Tolton.
422 - (try to) work around missing lstat on windows.
423 - pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows
424 is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that
425 switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't
426 have oob, so that would be stupid anyways.
427 - use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence
428 and some other default values.

430 3.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008
431 - work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you
432 provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky.
433 - improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon.
434 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
435 codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
436 - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
437 of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
438 2-based heaps.
439 - cache timestamp within heap for !EV_MINIMAL, to avoid random
440 memory accesses.
441 - document/add EV_USE_4HEAP and EV_HEAP_CACHE_AT.
442 - fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again.
443 - add/document ev_periodic_at, retract direct access to ->at.
444 - improve ev_stat docs.
445 - add portability requirements section.
446 - fix manpage headers etc.
447 - normalise WSA error codes to lower range on windows.
448 - add consistency check code that can be called automatically
449 or on demand to check for internal structures (ev_loop_verify).
450
451 3.31 Wed Apr 16 20:45:04 CEST 2008
452 - added last minute fix for ev_poll.c by Brandon Black.
453
454 3.3 Wed Apr 16 19:04:10 CEST 2008
455 - event_base_loopexit should return 0 on success
456 (W.C.A. Wijngaards).
457 - added linux eventfd support.
458 - try to autodetect epoll and inotify support
459 by libc header version if not using autoconf.
460 - new symbols: EV_DEFAULT_UC and EV_DEFAULT_UC_.
461 - declare functions defined in ev.h as inline if
462 C99 or gcc are available.
463 - enable inlining with gcc versions 2 and 3.
464 - work around broken poll implementations potentially
465 not clearing revents field in ev_poll (Brandon Black)
466 (no such systems are known at this time).
467 - work around a bug in realloc on openbsd and darwin,
468 also makes the erroneous valgrind complaints
469 go away (noted by various people).
470 - fix ev_async_pending, add c++ wrapper for ev_async
471 (based on patch sent by Johannes Deisenhofer).
472 - add sensible set method to ev::embed.
473 - made integer constants type int in ev.h.
474
475 3.2 Wed Apr 2 17:11:19 CEST 2008
476 - fix a 64 bit overflow issue in the select backend,
477 by using fd_mask instead of int for the mask.
478 - rename internal sighandler to avoid clash with very old perls.
479 - entering ev_loop will not clear the ONESHOT or NONBLOCKING
480 flags of any outer loops anymore.
481 - add ev_async_pending.
482
483 3.1 Thu Mar 13 13:45:22 CET 2008
484 - implement ev_async watchers.
485 - only initialise signal pipe on demand.
486 - make use of sig_atomic_t configurable.
487 - improved documentation.
488
489 3.0 Mon Jan 28 13:14:47 CET 2008
490 - API/ABI bump to version 3.0.
491 - ev++.h includes "ev.h" by default now, not <ev.h>.
492 - slightly improved documentation.
493 - speed up signal detection after a fork.
494 - only optionally return trace status changed in ev_child
495 watchers.
496 - experimental (and undocumented) loop wrappers for ev++.h.
497
