 ## New features
 
+- Refactored event loop, now allowing for period (-p) to be smaller than
+ timeout (-t). Now the number of sent pings is only incremented when the
+ response is received or when the timeout happened, so that the loss statistic
+ is always correct (especially important when using interval statistics (-Q).
 - Improved precision of measurements from 10us to 1us (#136, thanks @tycho)
