Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2008-10548

Name : libev
Product : Fedora 8
Version : 3.49
Release : 1.fc8
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:
The only major change is that inotify is now used even on older, known to be
buggy, kernels, but only as a hint. Also, libev now has a small list of "known
to be good" filesystems where inotify is known to work, and will use inotify as
a hint only on other filesystems (such as NFS). The documentation has been
updated regarding the dangers of using stat watchers on networked file systems.
3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008 - ev_stat watchers will now use
inotify as a mere hint on kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is
not in the "known to be good" list. - better mingw32
compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32) (analysed by Roger
Pack). - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing I
get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
with their C compiler.

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use
su -c 'yum update libev' at the command line.
