Hello,

your changelog is very sparse. Maybe point out the commit that changed
the API without fixing its users?

level is only used in the for loop, so it should be declared there, too.

As you touch this comment can you fix the grammar, too? (i.e. s/is/are/)

This statement is equivalent to:

	data = level > 0;

so IMHO there is no need for the data variable.

Apart from the magic 20 that Fabio already pointed out, these 10 us are
magic, too. What is the requirement when wait evaluates to true? Are you
allowed to sleep? If so, maybe better do that?
