+        - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
+          watcher (Denis Bilenko).
+	- queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
+          them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
+	- add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
+          further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
+        - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
+          syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
+	- fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
+          event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
+          some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
+        - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
+          be overfenced than underprotected.
+	- ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
+          still active).
+	- ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
+          libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
+	- (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
+	- (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
+	- (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
+        - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
+          the kqueue descriptor in the child.
+        - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
+          in many cases.
+        - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
+        - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
+          common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
+        - chose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
+        - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
+          works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
+        - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
+          Denis Bilenko).
+        - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
+        - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
+          the watcher base set (loop) method.
+        - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
+          simplifies (and hopefuly correctifies :) the race checking
+          on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
+        - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
+          inotify-supporting filesystems.
+        - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
+          versions ignore it before
+          (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
+        - add some untested android support.
+        - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
