• Implement event bubbling (see the monitor class) by grouping events using the (time, path) tuple, to emit a single event with the union of all the flags.
• Refactor the fsevents_monitor class to replace usages of the deprecated function FSEventStreamScheduleWithRunLoop and substituting it with FSEventStreamSetDispatchQueue and an implementation based on dispatch queues.
• Improve the responsiveness of the fsevents_monitor on macOS by adding support for the kFSEventStreamCreateFlagNoDefer flag.

11:1:0

• Fix monitor_factory::create_monitor ignoring the monitor type and always returning the default system monitor. (Issue 218: fswatch v1.13 ignores the –monitor parameter and always uses the default monitor).

11:0:0

• Refactor the monitor_factory class so that available monitor types are determined at compile time. (Issue 142: Static library will not have any monitor type available).

10:1:1

• Migrate usages of POSIX regular expressions (<regex.h>) to the C++11 regex library (<regex>).
• Wrong error message is printed when inotify event queue overflows.

10:0:1

• Fix C99 compatibility in cevent.h by not implying enum.
• Free session memory.
• Fix segmentation fault when starting monitor.
• Add fsw_is_running() function to the C API to check that a monitor is running.
• Fix stop sequence in fsw::fsevents_monitor::run() and in fsw::fsevents_monitor::on_stop().

9:0:0

• 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.

8:0:2

• 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

3:0:0

• 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.
