 TODO: ev_loop_wakeup
 
 4.10
+	- fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
+          caused signals to not be handled anymore.
 	- correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows
           specific workaround to avoid looping because we call both
           select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
