 	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
           was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
+        - new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.
 	- fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
           caused signals to not be handled anymore.
 	- correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows

+=item EV_NO_SMP
+
+If defined to be C<1>, libev will assume that memory is always coherent
+between threads, that is, threads can be used, but threads never run on
+different cpus (or different cpu cores). This reduces dependencies
+and makes libev faster.

+=item EV_NO_THREADS
+
+If defined to be C<1>, libev will assume that it will never be called
+from different threads, which is a stronger assumption than C<EV_NO_SMP>,
+above. This reduces dependencies and makes libev faster.
