v1.1.0 Rewrite C backend to use zookeeper_st, the async library

  * In order to ensure fork safety, a rewrite of the backend was necessary.
    It was impossible to guarantee with the mt lib that a lock would not
    be held by a thread when fork() was called, which opened up the possibility
    for corruption and other badness.

    This version contains a Continuation class, which allows us to present a 
    synchronous front-end to the asynchronous backend. All features are still
    supported, no special action is necessary to prepare for a fork, and the
    post-fork procedure is the same as before: call reopen() in the child,
    continue on in the parent like nothing happened.

v1.0.6 Only include backports if RUBY_VERSION is 1.8.x

  * 'backports' pollutes too much, use sparingly

v1.0.5 Minor cleanup

  * Fix the InheritedConnectionError message

  * Clean up the module includes

v1.0.3 Linux: Fix hang on reopen after fork

  * Linux users relying on fork() should upgrade to 1.0.3, as it
    fixes a bug in the reopen code that would cause a hang in the child.
    If you're running on linux, you *really* should upgrade

v1.0.0 Single Zookeeper namespace

  * The top level Zookeeper class is now a module, the former Zookeeper
    class is now Zookeeper::Client

  * Consolidate the 6 top-level namespaces into one, Zookeeper module

    ZookeeperCommon -> Zookeeper::Common
    ZookeeperCallbacks -> Zookeeper::Callbacks
    ZookeeperConstants -> Zookeeper::Constants
    ZookeeperExceptions -> Zookeeper::Exceptions
    ZookeeperACLs -> Zookeeper::ACLs
    CZookeeper -> Zookeeper::CZookeeper

  * Added a 'zookeeper/compatibility' file that will define the old names
    and look up the new constants for users, and print a warning telling them
    the change has occurred and that they should update their code

  * Added scripts/upgrade-1.0-sed-alike.rb which will basically do a
    find-and-replace, changing the old names to the new names (worked on
    both the Zookeeper and ZK codebases).

  * Java and C now use different names for the base class, to avoid the
    possibility of error. Java is now JavaBase, C remains ZookeeperBase.
    
  * All client methods are defined in the ClientMethods module and mixed
    into the constructed Client class.

  * Fix all requires, no longer monkey with $LOAD_PATH, use require_relative

  * Bugfix for C client. 
  
    Because we release the GIL, there's the possibilty that in the middle of a
    synchronous C call, ruby will have switched thread contexts and one of
    those threads will call close. It seems that during normal operation, this
    is not a problem, but during shutdown, this causes CPU to spike to 100% and
    a deadlock. This fix essentially wraps every call to the C layer in a
    mutex. There may be a slightly less heavyweight optimization in the future,
    but this is the safest option at the moment.

v0.9.3 Event thread shutdown fix, Windows compatibility fix

  * Use a 'shutdown thread' to coordinate cleanup if close is called from the
    event thread (prevents deadlock)

  * Default Logger now uses $stderr instead of opening /dev/null [#16]

  * Gemfile/gemspec/Rakefile refactoring.

v0.9.2 More efficient and simpler wrappers for GIL release

  * After a code review by Andrew Wason (rectalogic), use a much simpler
    technique for creating the arg structs and passing them to the
    zkrb_gvl_* functions. No malloc(), no free(), no problem.

v0.9.1 see v0.8.4 notes, same patch

v0.9.0 RELEASE THE KRAK..er, GIL!!

  * In >= 1.9.2 the ruby interpreter allows you to release the GIL when
    calling into native code, sounds like a good idea.
    
    This release makes use of that code by parsing the zookeeper.h header file
    and extracting the method signatures of all relevant zoo_* functions, then
    generating boilerplate that allows us to call those functions via the
    rb_thread_blocking_region function.

    1.8.7 compatibility is maintained by stubbing out that functionality if built
    under 1.8.7. 

  * 1.8.7 is deprecated! I will continue to support 1.8.7 for the near future
    but sometime soon, you're gonna have to upgrade.

v0.8.4 fix NameError, require 'forwardable'
  
  * Really not sure why this didn't come up in tests

  * issue here https://github.com/slyphon/zk/issues/22

v0.8.3 fix NonLocalJump exception in event delivery thread shutdown code

  * hit a corner case where we're waiting for the zkc handle setup
    and the user decides to shutdown, but before we've had a chance
    to enter the delivery loop.

  * Cleaned up some nasty code in ZookeeperConstants

  * removed ZookeeperConstants#print_events and ZookeeperConstants#print_states

  * changed EVENT_TYPE_NAMES and EVENT_STATE_NAMES in ZookeeperConstants
    to use string values instead of symbols

v0.8.2 fix close after a fork()

  * The dispatch thread will be dead in this situation, so we need to 
    check to see if it's already dead before waiting on it to exit.

v0.8.1 Java client fix, silence warnings

v0.8.0 Refactor C implementaion, EventMachine client

  * separated CZookeeper and ZookeeperBase implementation
  
    This solves issues with reopen not working properly, makes for a much
    cleaner event delivery implementation. ZookeeperBase controls the lifecycle
    of the event dispatch thread now, rather than it being tied to CZookeeper.
  
  * added support for the 'sync' API call
  
  * Refactored zookeeper_c.c and zookeeper_lib.c
  
    More error checking in zookeeper_lib.c and restructure some things to make
    logic easier to follow
  
    Fix bug in method_get_next_event that made the shutdown case so complicated
  
  * Massively simplified EMClient implementation

    Rather than trying to hook the IO used by zookeeper_lib to notify zookeeper_c
    about event availabiltiy directly into EventMachine, use the same event delivery
    thread, but wrap the dispatch call in EM.schedule.

  * Improve implementation of spin-lock-esque code that waits for the connection to be
    established before returning.

    This cut the test runtime down from 1m 20s to 2s.

  * Java client refactoring, similar correctness changes

  * Change ZookeeperException base class to StandardError instead of Exception
