TODO: move some other examples to common idioms? combining watchers,
thread usage, coroutine switch?
-TODO: frankenpoll
-TODO: allow files and so on
4.03
+ - officially support polling files with all backends.
- support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
backend, by generating events on our own.
+ - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
+ (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
+ bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
+ than that).
- define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
#ifdef to test for them.
- new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
- new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
- new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
