• Add fsw::monitor_filter::read_from_file() to load filters from a file.
• Add fsw_stop_monitor() function to stop a running monitor.
• Change FSW_HANDLE type.

8:0:2

• Add a mutex to protect the fsw::monitor::notify_events() method.
• Substitute C++ header names with C names in C headers.

• fsw::monitor::~monitor(): update to invoke fsw::monitor::stop().
• Close resources in monitor::on_stop() instead of doing it in destructors.
• Add inactivity callback.

8:0:2

• fsw::monitor::stop(): added.
• fsw::monitor::monitor(): update to move paths instead of copying them.
• fsw::monitor_factory::exists_type(const std::string&): added.
• fsw::monitor_factory::exists_type(const fsw_monitor_type&): added.
• fsw::fsevents_monitor::set_numeric_event(): removed.
• fsw::string_utils::string_from_format: added.
• fsw::string_utils::vstring_from_format: added.

5:0:2

• A monitor based on the Solaris/Illumos File Events Notification API has been added.
• The possibility of watching for directories only during a recursive scan. This feature helps reducing the number of open file descriptors if a generic change event for a directory is acceptable instead of events on directory children.
• fsw::fen_monitor: added to provide a monitor based on the Solaris/Illumos File Events Notification API.
• fsw::monitor::set_directory_only(): added to set a flag to only watch directories during a recursive scan.
• fsw_set_directory_only(): added to set a flag to only watch directories during a recursive scan.
• fsw_logf_perror(): added to log a printf()-style message using perror().

4:0:1

• fsw::windows_monitor: a monitor for Microsoft Windows was added.
• A logging function has been added to log verbose messages.
• A family of functions and macros have been added to log diagnostic messages:
  • fsw_flog()
  • fsw_logf()
  • fsw_flogf()
  • fsw_log_perror()
  • FSW_LOG
  • FSW_ELOG
  • FSW_LOGF
  • FSW_ELOGF
  • FSW_FLOGF

• Added ability to filter events by type:
  • fsw::monitor::add_event_type_filter()
  • fsw::monitor::set_event_type_filters()
• fsw::monitor::notify_events(): added to centralize event filtering and dispatching into the monitor base class.
• Added ability to get event types by name and stringify them:
  • fsw::event::get_event_flag_by_name()
  • fsw::event::get_event_flag_name()
  • fsw_get_event_flag_by_name()
  • fsw_get_event_flag_name()
• fsw_event_type_filter: added to represent an event type filter.
• FSW_ERR_UNKNOWN_VALUE: added error code.
• fsw_add_event_type_filter(): added to add an event type filter.
