Revision history for libev, a high-performance and full-featured event loop.

4.01 Fri Nov 5 21:51:29 CET 2010
- automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
event.h on make install. grrr.
- ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
- change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
- use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.

4.00 Mon Oct 25 12:32:12 CEST 2010
- "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading.
- ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
- ev_run will now always update the current loop time - it erroneously
didn't when idle watchers were active, causing timers not to fire.
- fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire
in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó).
- applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
- replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
- prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it
seems the former is *much* faster than the latter.
- linux kernel version detection (for inotify bug workarounds)
did not work properly.
- reduce the number of spurious wake-ups with the ports backend.
- remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
- do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which avoids
an API quirk where the set function must be called in the C++ API
even when there is nothing to set.
- add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting
not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher).
- do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't
on freebsd...).
- allow to embed epoll on kernels >= 2.6.32.
- configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
override it.
- ev.pod: greatly expanded the portability section, added a porting
section, a description of watcher states and made lots of minor fixes.
- disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
- improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
in an obscure case.
- implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
- do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
no sscanf dependency).
- new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
- update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
- add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
- rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
- rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify/loop/unloop.
- remove ev_default_destroy and ev_default_fork.
- switch to two-digit minor version.
- work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug.
- define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT. just so.
- use enum instead of #define for most constants.
- improve compatibility to older C++ compilers.
- (experimental) ev_run/ev_default_loop/ev_break/ev_loop_new have now
default arguments when compiled as C++.
- enable automake dependency tracking.
- ev_loop_new no longer leaks memory when loop creation failed.
- new ev_cleanup watcher type.

3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
- signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
- point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
- backport inotify code to C89.
- inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
- ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop,
preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
- implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
- support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
(patch by Didier Spezia).
- take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
on fd creation, to avoid races.
- the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows
(analysed by lekma).
- changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
signalfd.
- add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
- only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
have caused the problems with 04_stat.t.
- add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.

3.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
- incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
- ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repated
potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repeated
ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
- take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
- document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
