## [1.6.0] - 2022-10-13

This version of fsnotify needs Go 1.16 (this was already the case since 1.5.1,
but not documented). It also increases the minimum Linux version to 2.6.32.

### Additions

- all: add `Event.Has()` and `Op.Has()` (#477)
- all: add `Event.Has()` and `Op.Has()` ([#477])

This makes checking events a lot easier; for example:

### Changes and fixes

- inotify: don't ignore events for files that don't exist ([#260], [#470])

Previously the inotify watcher would call `os.Lstat()` to check if a file
still exists before emitting events.

- inotify: replace epoll() with non-blocking inotify #434
- inotify: replace epoll() with non-blocking inotify ([#434])

Non-blocking inotify was not generally available at the time this library was
written in 2014, but now it is. As a result, the minimum Linux version is
bumped from 2.6.27 to 2.6.32. This hugely simplifies the code and is faster.

- kqueue: don't check for events every 100ms (#480)
- kqueue: don't check for events every 100ms ([#480])

The watcher would wake up every 100ms, even when there was nothing to do. Now
it waits until there is something to do.

- kqueue: skip unreadable files (#479)
- kqueue: skip unreadable files ([#479])

kqueue requires a file descriptor for every file in a directory; this would
fail if a file was unreadable by the current user. Now these files are simply
skipped.
