Name : libev
Product : Fedora 10
Version : 3.52
Release : 1.fc10
URL : http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html
Summary : High-performance event loop/event model with lots of features
Description :
Libev is modelled (very losely) after libevent and the Event perl
module, but is faster, scales better and is more correct, and also more
featureful. And also smaller.

Update Information:
3.52 ---- This release mostly disables poll and kqueue again on OS X, which
was broken by the previous release. Other changes include: - fix
compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is missing (to
get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos). - better select-nfds
handling when select backend is in fd_set mode. - diagnose fd_set overruns
when select backend is in fd_set mode. - actually verify that local and
remote port are matching in libev's socketpair emulation, which makes
denial-of-service attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make
sure it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
should return fantasy port numbers. - include "libev" in all assertion
messages for potentially clearer diagnostics. - event_get_version
(libevent compatibility) returned a useless string instead of the expected
version string (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards). 3.51 ---- Release
Highlights: - a number of bugs (one likely causing freezes) in the inotify
backend have been found and fixed. - libev now falls back to select on OS X,
as OS X 10.5 has a broken poll in addition to broken kqueue. - libev can
now, on msot platforms, be compiled without a dependency on librt, by using a
direct syscall invocation. - ev++.h now supports some forms of functors, by
defaulting the method callback to operator ().
