Changes for version 3.7 - 2009-07-17

  • add EV::loop_verify and EV::loop_depth.
  • use output filehandle for i/o watchers waiting for EV_WRITE, otherwise input filehandle.
  • use common schmorp.h header.
  • add EV::Timer->remaining.
  • allow for subclassing of EV::Loop (see the exciting EV::Loop::Async module for an example).
  • added EV::invoke_pending and EV::pending_count.
  • (libev) ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops, instead of using a per-loop variable.
  • (libev) the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
  • add new functionality: EV::invoke_pending, EV::pending_count.
  • add $timer->remaining.
  • add EV::loop_depth.
  • (libev) calling unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll for new events.
  • (libev) use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for slightly higher accuracy.
  • (libev) actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
