Changes for version 2.0 - 2007-12-22

  • no longer force kqueue when enabled, enable it on more systems (as its now by default not used on most).
  • expose fork watchers.
  • switch to libev's MULTIPLICITY API.
  • use a slightly different include file name strategy.
  • get rid of (unused) libevent emulation.

  • very minimal support for dynamic event loops and embed watchers.
  • fix name of prepare start/stop methods.
  • create and export EV::sleep and EV::set_*_collect_interval.

  • (libev) removed epoll from embeddable fd set.
  • (libev) fix embed watchers.
  • (libev) renamed ev_embed.loop to other.
