0MQ version 4.2.5 stable:
* Fixed 3018 - fix backward-incompatible change in the NULL auth
mechanism that slipped in 4.2.3 and made connections
with a ZAP domain set on a socket but without a working
ZAP handler fail. See ZMQ_ZAP_ENFORCE_DOMAIN and RFC27.
* Fixed 3016 - clarify in zmq_close manpage that the operation will
complete asynchronously.
* Fixed 3012 - fix CMake build problem when using LIBZMQ_WERROR and a
compiler other than GCC.
0MQ version 4.2.4 stable:
* New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) socket options:
- ZMQ_LOOPBACK_FASTPATH to enable faster TCP loopback on Windows
- ZMQ_METADATA to set application-specific metadata on a socket
See doc/zmq_setsockopt.txt and doc/zmq_getsockopt.txt for details.
* New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) context options:
- ZMQ_ZERO_COPY_RECV to disable zero-copy receive to save memory
at the expense of slower performance
See doc/zmq_ctx_set.txt and doc/zmq_ctx_get.txt for details.
* New DRAFT API zmq_stopwatch_intermediate which returns the time
elapsed without stopping the stopwatch.
* TIPC: support addressing TIPC Port Identity addresses.
* Added CMake option to disable tests: BUILD_TESTS
* Added CMake and autotools make targets to support clang-formatter:
make clang-format, clang-format-check and clang-format-diff to
help developers make sure their code conforms to the style guidelines
* For distributors: a new test framework has been added, which
includes a copy of the Unity source code. This source code library is
distributed under the MIT license and thus is compatible with
libzmq's LGPL3.

of a class declared as a global static
version 4.2.3 stable:
* API change: previously ZMQ_POLLOUT on a ZMQ_ROUTER socket returned always
true due to how the type works. When ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY is set, sending
fails when the peer is not available, but ZMQ_POLLOUT always returns true
anyway, which does not make sense. Now when ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY is set,
ZMQ_POLLOUT on a ZMQ_ROUTER will return true only if at least one peer is
available.
Given ZMQ_POLLOUT with ZMQ_ROUTER was not usable at all previously, we do
not consider this a breakage warranting a major or minor version increase.
* ZMQ_IDENTITY has been renamed to ZMQ_ROUTING_ID and ZMQ_CONNECT_RID has been
renamed to ZMQ_CONNTECT_ROUTING_ID to disambiguate. ZMQ_IDENTITY and
ZMQ_CONNECT_RID are still available to keep backward compatibility, and will
be removed in a future release after further advance notice.
* DRAFT API change: zmq_poller_wait, zmq_poller_wait_all and zmq_poller_poll
have been changed to be inline with other existing APIs that have a timeout
to return EAGAIN instead of ETIMEDOUT as the errno value.
* Existing non-DRAFT socket types ZMQ_REP/REQ, ZMQ_ROUTER/DEALER and
ZMQPUB/SUB, that were previously declared deprecated, have been reinstated
as stable and supported.
* Tweetnacl: add support for, and use preferably if available, getrandom() as
a simpler and less error-prone alternative to /dev/urandom on OSes where it
is available (eg: Linux 3.18 with glibc 2.25).
* Curve: all remaining traces of debug output to console are now removed, and
new DRAFT events are available to properly debug CURVE, PLAIN, GSSAPI and
ZAP events and failures. See below for details on the new events.
* New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) socket options:
- ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE and ZMQ_GSSAPI_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE, for
the corresponding GSSAPI features. Additional definitions for principal
name types:
- ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_HOSTBASED
- ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_USER_NAME
- ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_KRB5_PRINCIPAL
See doc/zmq_gssapi.txt for details.
- ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE (Linux only), which will bind the socket(s) to the
specified interface. Allows to use Linux VRF, see:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt
NOTE: requires the program to be ran as root OR with CAP_NET_RAW
- ZMQ_ZAP_ENFORCE_DOMAIN, enables strict RFC 27 compatibility mode and makes
the ZAP Domain mandatory when using security. See:
https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:27/ZAP
See doc/zmq_setsockopt.txt and doc/zmq_getsockopt.txt for details.
* New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) context options:
- ZMQ_THREAD_AFFINITY_CPU_ADD and ZMQ_THREAD_AFFINITY_CPU_REMOVE (Posix only),
to add and remove CPUs to the affinity set of the I/O threads. Useful to pin
the background threads to specific CPUs.
- ZMQ_THREAD_NAME_PREFIX (Posix only), to add a specific integer prefix to the
background threads names, to easily identify them for debugging purposes.
See doc/zmq_ctx_set.txt and doc/zmq_ctx_get.txt for details.
* New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) message property name definitions to facilitate
the use of zmq_msg_gets:
- ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_ROUTING_ID
- ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_SOCKET_TYPE
- ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_USER_ID
- ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_PEER_ADDRESS
See doc/zmq_msg_gets.txt for details.
* New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) API zmq_socket_get_peer_state, to be used to
query the state of a specific peer (via routing-id) of a ZMQ_ROUTER socket.
* New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) Socket Monitor events:
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_NO_DETAIL, unknown system error and returns errno
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_SUCCEEDED, handshake was successful
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_PROTOCOL, protocol errors between peers or server
and ZAP handler. Returns one of ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_* - see manpage for list
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_AUTH, failed authentication, returns ZAP status
These events trigger when the ZMTP security mechanism handshake is
completed or failed. See doc/zmq_socket_monitor.txt for more information.
* New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) zmq_proxy_steerable command 'STATISTICS' to
retrieve stats about the amount of messages and bytes sent and received by
the proxy. See doc/zmq_proxy_steerable.txt for more information.
* Add new autoconf --disable-libunwind option to stop building with libunwind
even if it is available.
* Add new autoconf --disable-Werror option to avoid building with the Werror
flag.
* Use pkg-config as the first method for finding and building with external
optional dependencies such as libnorm, libpgm and gssapi.
* On Posix platform where the feature is available, name the ZMQ background
threads to simplify debugging: "ZMQbg/<num_thread>"
* Improve performance of zmq_poller_* (and zmq_poll and zmq_proxy when building
with DRAFT APIs enabled).
* The TCP unit tests have been refactored to bind and connect to random ports
rather than hard-coded ones, to allow running tests in parallel.
There are 6 exceptions where it is necessary to use an hard-coded port to
test specific code paths that would not be exercised when binding to a
wildcard port. These are listed in tests/testutil.hpp so that distributions
can easily patch them if they wish to and so that they can be unique across
all the tests, allowing parallel runs.
The IPC unit tests have been changed as well to use unique socket file names
per test, where before there were some clashes.
* Fixed 2349 - fix building with libsodium when using CMake

0MQ version 4.2.0 stable, released on 2016/11/04
=============================================
* For Pieter. Thanks for making all of this possible.
"Tell them I was a writer.
A maker of software.
A humanist. A father.
And many things.
But above all, a writer.
Thank You. :)"
- Pieter Hintjens
* This release introduces new APIs, but it is ABI compatible with
libzmq 4.1.2 and up.
* Note for ARM and SPARC users: an alignment problem in zmq_msg_t that could in
some cases and on some CPUs cause a SIGBUS error was solved, but it requires
a rebuild of your application against the 4.2.0 version of include/zmq.h.
To clarify, this change does not affect the internals of the library but only
the public definition of zmq_msg_t, so there is no ABI incompatibility.
* Security with Curve is now available by default thanks to Tweetnacl sources:
https://tweetnacl.cr.yp.to/index.html
Libsodium is still fully supported but has to be enabled with the build flag
--with-libsodium. Distribution and package maintainers are encouraged to use
libsodium so that the security implementation can be audited and maintained
separately.
* New Context options:
- ZMQ_MAX_MSGSZ
- ZMQ_BLOCKY
See doc/zmq_ctx_set.txt and doc/zmq_ctx_get.txt for details.
* New Socket options:
- ZMQ_HANDSHAKE_IVL
- ZMQ_SOCKS_PROXY
- ZMQ_XPUB_NODROP
- ZMQ_XPUB_MANUAL
- ZMQ_XPUB_WELCOME_MSG
- ZMQ_STREAM_NOTIFY
- ZMQ_INVERT_MATCHING
- ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL
- ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TTL
- ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT
- ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSER
- ZMQ_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
- ZMQ_TCP_MAXRT
- ZMQ_THREAD_SAFE
- ZMQ_MULTICAST_MAXTPDU
- ZMQ_VMCI_BUFFER_SIZE
- ZMQ_VMCI_BUFFER_MIN_SIZE
- ZMQ_VMCI_BUFFER_MAX_SIZE
- ZMQ_VMCI_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
- ZMQ_USE_FD
See doc/zmq_setsockopt.txt and doc/zmq_getsockopt.txt for details.
* New CURVE helper function to derive z85 public key from secret key:
zmq_curve_public
* New cross-platform atomic counter helper functions:
zmq_atomic_counter_new, zmq_atomic_counter_set, zmq_atomic_counter_inc,
zmq_atomic_counter_dec, zmq_atomic_counter_value, zmq_atomic_counter_destroy
See doc/zmq_atomic_*.txt for details.
* New DRAFT APIs early-release mechanism. New APIs will be introduced early
in public releases, and until they are stabilized and guaranteed not to
change anymore they will be unavailable unless the new build flag
--enable-drafts is used. This will allow developers and early adopters to
test new APIs before they are finalized.
NOTE: as the name implies, NO GUARANTEE is made on the stability of these APIs.
They might change or disappear entirely. Distributions are recommended NOT to
build with them.
New socket types have been introduced in DRAFT state:
ZMQ_SERVER, ZMQ_CLIENT, ZMQ_RADIO, ZMQ_DISH, ZMQ_GATHER, ZMQ_SCATTER,
ZMQ_DGRAM
All these sockets are THREAD SAFE, unlike the existing socket types. They do
NOT support multipart messages (ZMQ_SNDMORE/ZMQ_RCVMORE).
ZMQ_RADIO, ZMQ_DISH and ZMQ_DGRAM also support UDP as transport,
both unicast and multicast. See doc/zmq_udp.txt for more details.
New methods to support the new socket types functionality:
zmq_join, zmq_leave, zmq_msg_set_routing_id, zmq_msg_routing_id,
zmq_msg_set_group, zmq_msg_group
See doc/zmq_socket.txt for more details.
New poller mechanism and APIs have been introduced in DRAFT state:
zmq_poller_new, zmq_poller_destroy, zmq_poller_add, zmq_poller_modify,
zmq_poller_remove, zmq_poller_wait, zmq_poller_wait_all, zmq_poller_add_fd
zmq_poller_modify_fd, zmq_poller_remove_fd
and a new supporting struct typedef: zmq_poller_event_t
They support existing socket type, new thread-safe socket types and file
descriptors (cross-platform).
Documentation will be made available in the future before these APIs are declared
stable.
New cross-platform timers helper functions have been introduced in DRAFT state:
zmq_timers_new, zmq_timers_destroy, zmq_timers_add, zmq_timers_cancel,
zmq_timers_set_interval, zmq_timers_reset, zmq_timers_timeout,
zmq_timers_execute
and a new supporting callback typedef: zmq_timer_fn
* Many, many bug fixes. The most important fixes are backported and captured in the
4.1.x and 4.0.x changelogs.

* Fixed LIBZMQ-567, adding abstract namespaces for IPC sockets on Linux.
Converts an initial strudel or "at sign" (@) in the Unix socket path to
a NULL character ('\0') indicating that the socket uses the abstract
namespace instead of the filesystem namespace. For instance, binding a
socket to 'ipc://@/tmp/tester' will not create a file associated with
the socket whereas binding to 'ipc:///tmp/tester' will create the file
/tmp/tester. See issue 567 for more information.
* Added zmq_z85_encode and zmq_z85_decode to core libzmq API.
* Added zmq_curve_keypair to core libzmq API.
* Bumped library ABI version to 4:0:1.
Bug fixes
---------
* Fixed some build/test errors on OS/X + Clang++.
* Fixed LIBZMQ-565, typo in code.
* Fixed LIBZMQ-566, dealer-to-router connections sometimes failing.
* Fixed builds for AIX, MSVC 2008, OS/X with clang++, Solaris.
* Improved CURVE handshake error handling.
0MQ version 4.0.0 (RC1), released on 2013/09/20
===============================================
Major changes
-------------
* New wire level protocol, ZMTP/3.0, see http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:23.
Does not yet implement the SUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, PING, and PONG commands.
* New security framework, from plain user+password to strong encryption,
see section below. See http://hintjens.com/blog:49 for a tutorial.
* New ZMQ_STREAM socket type for working as a TCP client or server. See:
tests/test_stream.cpp.
Improvements
------------
* You can now connect to an inproc:// endpoint that does not already
exist. This means inproc:// no longer needs careful set-up, but it may
break code that relied on the old behaviour. See:
tests/test_inproc_connect.cpp.
* Libzmq now checks socket types at connection time, so that trying to
connect a 'wrong' socket type will fail.
* New zmq_ctx_shutdown API method will shutdown a context and send ETERM
to blocking calls, without blocking. Use zmq_ctx_term to finalise the
process.
* The regression test suite has been significantly extended and improved.
* Contexts can now be terminated in forked child processes. See:
tests/test_fork.cpp.
* zmq_disconnect now respects the linger setting on sockets.
* New zmq_send_const API method to send constant data (without copying).
See: tests/test_inproc_connect.cpp.
* Added CMake support for static libraries.
* Added test cases for socket semantics as defined in RFCs 28, 29, 30, 31.
See: tests/test_spec_*.cpp.
* New socket option, ZMQ_PROBE_ROUTER triggers an empty message on connect.
See: tests/test_probe_router.cpp.
* New socket option, ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE allows for correlation of replies
from a REP socket. See: tests/test_req_correlate.cpp.
* New socket option, ZMQ_REQ_RELAXED, lets you disable the state machine
on a REQ socket, so you can send multiple requests without waiting for
replies, and without getting an EFSM error. See:
tests/test_req_relaxed.cpp.
* New socket option, ZMQ_CONFLATE restricts the outgoing and incoming
socket buffers to a single message. See: tests/test_conflate.cpp.
Deprecated Options
------------------
* ZMQ_IPV4ONLY deprecated and renamed to ZMQ_IPV6 so that options are
consistently "off" by default.
* ZMQ_DELAY_ATTACH_ON_CONNECT deprecated, and renamed to ZMQ_IMMEDIATE.
See: tests/test_immediate.cpp.
Security Framework
------------------
Based on new ZMTP wire level protocol that negotiates a security
"mechanism" between client and server before exchanging any other data.
Security mechanisms are extensible. ZMTP defines three by default:
* NULL - classic ZeroMQ, with no authentication. See
http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:23.
* PLAIN - plain-text username + password authentication. See
http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:24.
* CURVE - secure authentication and encryption based on elliptic curve
cryptography, using the Curve25519 algorithm from Daniel Bernstein and
based on CurveCP's security handshake. See http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:25,
http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:26, and http://curvecp.org.
Authentication is done by pluggable "authenticators" that connect to libzmq
over an inproc endpoint, see http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:27.
Socket options to configure PLAIN security on client or server:
* ZMQ_PLAIN_SERVER, ZMQ_PLAIN_USERNAME, ZMQ_PLAIN_PASSWORD. See
tests/test_security_plain.
Socket options to configure CURVE security on client or server:
* ZMQ_CURVE_SERVER, ZMQ_CURVE_PUBLICKEY, ZMQ_CURVE_SECRETKEY,
ZMQ_CURVE_SERVERKEY. See tests/test_security_curve.cpp.
Socket options to configure "domain" for ZAP handler:
* ZMQ_ZAP_DOMAIN, see tests/test_security_null.cpp.
Support for encoding/decoding CURVE binary keys to ASCII:
* zmq_z85_encode, zmq_z85_decode.

used with explicit identities and multiple SUB sockets.
* Fixed issue 236, zmq_send() and zmq_recv() did not always return
error conditions such as EFSM properly. This bug was introduced in
version 2.1.8 by the backport of changes for issue 231.
Building
--------
* 0MQ support for Android added (Bill Roberts, Mikko Koppanen).
0MQ version 2.1.8 (RC), released on 2011/07/28

equal to ENETUNREACH).
* Fixed issue 228, assertion failure at rep.cpp:88 when HWM was reached.
* Fixed issue 231, assertion failure at mailbox.cpp:183 when too many
pending socketpair operations were queued (major backport from 3.0).
* Fixed issue 234, assertion failure at mailbox.cpp:77 when Ctrl-C was
used (only affected git master following backport for 231).
* Fixed issue 230, SIGPIPE killing servers when client disconnected, hit

due to abuse of assertions for error checking).
* Fixed issue 212, reconnect failing after resume from sleep on Windows
(due to not handling WSAENETDOWN).
* Properly handle WSAENETUNREACH on Windows (e.g. if client connects
before server binds).
Changes
-------
* Runtime checking of socket and context validity, to catch e.g. using a
socket after closing it, or passing an invalid pointer to context/socket
methods.
* Test cases moved off port 5555, which conflicts with other services.
* Clarified zmq_poll man page that the resolution of the timeout is 1msec.

multipart message to new subscribers (Martin Sustrik).
* Fix to PUB sockets, which would sometimes deliver tail frames of a
multipart message to new subscribers (Martin Sustrik).
* Windows build was broken due to EPROTONOSUPPORT not being defined. This

* Various fixes to make OpenVMS port work (Brett Cameron).
* Corrected Reference Manual to note that ZMQ_LINGER socket option may be
set at any time, not just before connecting/binding (Pieter Hintjens).
* Fix to C++ binding to properly close sockets (Guido Goldstein).
* Removed obsolete assert from pgm_socket.cpp (Martin Sustrik).

future upgrades of OpenPGM (Mikko Koppanen).
* Build system allows configuration with arbitrary versions of OpenPGM
(./configure --with-pgm=libpgm-x.y.z) (Mikko Koppanen).
* OpenPGM uses new PGM_ODATA_MAX_RTE controlling original data instead of
PGM_TXW_MAX_RTE covering entire channel (Steven McCoy).

0MQ version 2.1.2 (rc2), released on 2011/03/06
===============================================
Bug fixes
---------
* 0MQ now correctly handles durable inproc sockets; previously it ignored
explicit identities on inproc sockets.
* Various memory leaks were fixed.
* OpenPGM sender/receiver creation fixed.
0MQ version 2.1.1 (rc1), released on 2011/02/23
===============================================
New functionality
-----------------
* New socket option ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX added, allows for exponential
back-off strategy when reconnecting.
* New socket option ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL_MSEC added, as a fine-grained
counterpart to ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL (for multicast transports).
* If memory is exhausted, 0MQ warns with an explicit message before
aborting the process.
* Size of inproc HWM and SWAP is sum of peers' HWMs and SWAPs (Douglas
Greager, Martin Sustrik).
Bug fixes
---------
* 0MQ no longer asserts in mailbox.cpp when multiple peers connect with
the same identity.
* 0MQ no longer asserts when rejecting an oversized message.
* 0MQ no longer asserts in pipe.cpp when the swap fills up.
* zmq_poll now works correctly with an empty poll set.
* Many more.
Building
--------
* 0MQ now builds correctly on CentOS, Debian 6, and SunOS/gcc3.
* Added WithOpenPGM configuration into MSVC builds.
Known issues
------------
* OpenPGM integration is still not fully stable.
0MQ version 2.1.0 (Beta), released on 2010/12/01
================================================
New functionality
-----------------
* New semantics for zmq_close () and zmq_term () ensure that all messages
are sent before the application terminates. This behaviour may be
modified using the new ZMQ_LINGER socket option; for further details
refer to the reference manual.
* The new socket options ZMQ_FD and ZMQ_EVENTS provide a way to integrate
0MQ sockets into existing poll/event loops.
* Sockets may now be migrated between OS threads, as long as the
application ensures that a full memory barrier is issued.
* The 0MQ ABI exported by libzmq.so has been formalised; DSO symbol
visibility is used on supported platforms to ensure that only public ABI
symbols are exported. The library ABI version has been set to 1.0.0 for
this release.
* OpenPGM has been updated to version 5.0.92. This version no longer
depends on GLIB, and integration with 0MQ should be much improved.
* zmq_poll() now honors timeouts precisely, and no longer returns if no
events are signaled.
* Blocking calls now return EINTR if interrupted by the delivery of a
signal; this also means that language bindings which previously had
problems with handling SIGINT/^C should now work correctly.
* The ZMQ_TYPE socket option was added; this allows retrieval of the socket
type after creation.
* Added a ZMQ_VERSION macro to zmq.h for compile-time API version
detection.
* The ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL and ZMQ_BACKLOG socket options have been added.
Bug fixes
---------
* Forwarder and streamer devices now handle multi-part messages correctly.
* 0MQ no longer asserts when malformed data is received on the wire.
* 0MQ internal timers now work correctly if the TSC jumps backwards.
* The internal signalling functionality (mailbox) has been improved
to automatically resize socket buffers on POSIX systems.
* Many more.
Building
--------
* 0MQ now builds correctly with many more non-GCC compilers (Sun Studio,
Intel ICC, CLang).
* AIX and HP-UX builds should work now.
* FD_SETSIZE has been set to 1024 by default for MSVC builds.
* Windows builds using GCC (MinGW) now work out of the box.
Distribution
------------
* A simple framework for regression tests has been added, along with a few
basic self-tests. The tests can be run using "make check".
The 0MQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the
standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by
specialised messaging middleware products. 0MQ sockets provide an
abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging
patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to
multiple transport protocols and more.
