Changes for version 4.20 - 2015-06-20

  • added stability canary support.
  • truly rely on automatic configuration for clock_gettime and others. unfortunately, this doesn't help with activeperl and similar perls, which define _POSIX_TIMERS without actually implementing any of it.
  • (libev, ecb) make it compile as C++ again.
  • (libev) fix a potential aliasing issue when accessing watcher cbs.
