Revision history for libev, a high-performance and full-featured event loop.
TODO: ABI??? API????? Changes???
TODO: include ev_xyz_start in each example?
TODO: section watcher states/lifetime
TODO: ALL ev_xxx_set funtions must be called from ev++ set methods, somehow.
TODO: use enums //TODO: enum?
- "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 errornously
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).

Backwards compatibility is a major concern for libev. This is why this
release of libev comes with wrappers for the functions and symbols that
have been renamed between libev version 3 and 4.
You can disable these wrappers (to test compatibility with future
versions) by defining C<EV_COMPAT3> to C<0> when compiling your
sources. This has the additional advantage that you can drop the C<struct>
from C<struct ev_loop> declarations, as libev will provide an C<ev_loop>
typedef in that case.
In some future version, the default for C<EV_COMPAT3> will become C<0>,
and in some even more future version the compatibility code will be
removed completely.

Libev is very accommodating to coroutines ("cooperative threads"):
libev fully supports nesting calls to its functions from different
coroutines (e.g. you can call C<ev_loop> on the same loop from two

different coroutines, and switch freely between both coroutines running

that you must not do this from C<ev_periodic> reschedule callbacks.

associated constants have been renamed to not collide with the C<struct
ev_loop> anymore and C<EV_TIMER> now follows the same naming scheme
as all other watcher types. Note that C<ev_loop_fork> is still called

This is a simple rename - all other watcher types use their name
as revents flag, and now C<ev_timer> does, too.
Both C<EV_TIMER> and C<EV_TIMEOUT> symbols were present in 3.x versions
and continue to be present for the foreseeable future, so this is mostly a
documentation change.
The backward compatibility mechanism can be controlled by
