+Evented File System Monitor
+---------------------------
+
+If the [listen gem](https://github.com/guard/listen) is loaded Rails uses an
+evented file system monitor to detect changes when `config.cache_classes` is
+false:
+
+```ruby
+group :development do
+ gem 'listen', '~> 3.0.4'
+end
+```
+
+Otherwise, in every request Rails walks the application tree to check if
+anything has changed.
+
+On Linux and Mac OS X no additional gems are needed, but some are required
+[for *BSD](https://github.com/guard/listen#on-bsd) and
+[for Windows](https://github.com/guard/listen#on-windows).
+
+Note that [some setups are unsupported](https://github.com/guard/listen#issues--limitations).
