libzmq 4.2.0

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.
