Changes for version 3.6 - 2009-04-28

  • keepalive(0) could decrease the refcount of the loop permanently.
  • add ev_suspend/ev_resume, also make ev_now_update accessible via the XS API.
  • most EV::<eventtype> constants were missing and have been added :/.
  • add EV::VERSION_MAJOR/VERSION_MINOR constants.
  • (libev) multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
  • (libev) do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop that has active kernel events but no registered watchers (reported by blacksand blacksand).
  • (libev) correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
  • (libev) new EV::CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
  • (libev) add documentation section about priorites.
  • (libev) add a glossary to the dcoumentation.
  • (libev) extend the ev_fork description slightly.
  • (libev) optimize a jump out of call_pending.
  • t/03_keepalive could fail when there was no actual error.
