+---------
+
+* Fixed test_many_sockets case, which failed when process socket limit
+ was 1024.
+
+
+0MQ version 4.0.2 stable, released on 2013/11/24
+================================================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+

+* Fixed LIBZMQ-578 - z85_decode was extremely slow
+* Fixed LIBZMQ-577 - fault in man pages.

+
+
+0MQ version 4.0.1 stable, released on 2013/10/08
+================================================
+
+Changes
+-------
+
+* Updated CURVE mechanism to track revised RFC 27 (INITIATE vouch).
+
+ The INITIATE command vouch box is Box[C',S](C->S') instead of
+ Box[C'](C->S), to reduce the risk of client impersonation, as per
+ https://codesinchaos.wordpress.com/2012/09/09/curvecp-1/.
+
+* 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.

+
+OMQ version 3.1.0 (beta), released on 2011/12/18
+================================================
+
+General information
+-------------------
+
+Based on community consensus, the 0MQ 3.1.x release reverts a number of
+features introduced in version 3.0. The major reason for these changes is
+improving backward compatibility with 0MQ 2.1.x.
+
+Development of the 0MQ 3.0.x series will be discontinued, and users are
+encouraged to upgrade to 3.1.
+
+The 0MQ 3.1.x releases use ABI version 3.
+
+Reverted functionality
+----------------------
+
+The following functionality present in 0MQ 3.0 has been reverted:
+
+* Wire format changes. The 0MQ 3.1 wire format is identical to that of 0MQ
+ 2.1.
+
+* LABELs and COMMANDs have been removed.
+
+* Explicit identies are re-introduced, however they can be used only for
+ explicit routing, not for durable sockets.
+
+* The ZMQ_ROUTER and ZMQ_DEALER socket types are once again aliases for
+ ZMQ_XREQ and ZMQ_XREP.
+
+New functionality
+-----------------
+
+* The zmq_getmsgopt() function has been introduced.
+
+* Experimental IPv6 support has been introduced. This is disabled by
+ default, see the zmq_setsockopt() documentation for enabling it.
+
+Other changes
+-------------
+
+* The default HWM for all socket types has been set to 1000.
+
+* Many bug fixes.
+
+Building
+--------
+
+* The dependency on libuuid has been removed.
+
+* Support for building on Android, and with MSVC 10 has been added.
+
+0MQ version 3.0.0 (alpha), released on 2011/07/12
+=================================================
+
+New functionality
+-----------------
+
+* A zmq_ctx_set_monitor() API to register a callback / event sink for changes
+ in socket state.
+
+* POSIX-compliant zmq_send and zmq_recv introduced (uses raw buffer
+ instead of message object).
+
+* ZMQ_MULTICAST_HOPS socket option added. Sets the appropriate field in
+ IP headers of PGM packets.
+
+* Subscription forwarding. Instead of filtering on consumer, the
+ subscription is moved as far as possible towards the publisher and
+ filtering is done there.
+
+* ZMQ_XPUB, ZMQ_XSUB introduced. Allow to create subscription-
+ forwarding-friendly intermediate devices.
+
+* Add sockopt ZMQ_RCVTIMEO/ZMQ_SNDTIMEO. Allow to set timeout for
+ blocking send/recv calls.
+
+* A new LABEL flag was added to the wire format. The flag distinguishes
+ message parts used by 0MQ (labels) from user payload message parts.
+
+* There is a new wire format for the REQ/REP pattern. First, the empty
+ bottom-of-the-stack message part is not needed any more, the LABEL
+ flag is used instead. Secondly, peer IDs are 32-bit integers rather
+ than 17-byte UUIDs.
+
+* The REQ socket now drops duplicate replies.
+
+* Outstanding requests & replies associated with a client are dropped
+ when the clients dies. This is a performance optimisation.
+
+* Introduced ZMQ_ROUTER and ZMQ_DEALER sockets. These mimic the
+ functionality of ZMQ_ROUTER and ZMQ_DEALER in 0MQ/2.1.x. Guarantees
+ backward compatibility for exsiting code.
+
+* Removed dependency on OS socketpair buffer size. No more asserts in
+ mailbox.cpp because of low system limit of sockepair buffer size.
+
+API improvements
+----------------
+
+* Obsolete constants ZMQ_UPSTREAM and ZMQ_DOWNSTREAM removed. Use
+ ZMQ_PUSH and ZMQ_PULL instead.
+
+* Timeout in zmq_poll is in milliseconds instead of microseconds. This
+ makes zmq_poll() compliant with POSIX poll()
+
+* ZMQ_MCAST_LOOP removed. There's no support for multicast over
+ loopback any more. Use IPC or TCP isntead.
+
+* zmq_send/zmq_recv was renamed zmq_sendmsg/zmq_recvmsg.
+
+* ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL and ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL_MSEC reconciled. The new option
+ is named ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL and the unit is milliseconds.
+
+* Option types changed. Most of the numeric types are now represented
+ as 'int'.
+
+* ZMQ_HWM split into ZMQ_SNDHWM and ZMQ_RCVHWM. This makes it possible
+ to control message flow separately for each direction.
+
+* ZMQ_NOBLOCK renamed ZMQ_DONTWAIT. That makes it POSIX-compliant.
+
+Less is More
+------------
+
+* Pre-built devices and zmq_device() removed. Should be made available
+ as a separate project(s).
+
+* ZMQ_SWAP removed. Writing data to disk should be done on top of 0MQ,
+ on inside it.
+
+* C++ binding removed from the core. Now it's a separate project, same
+ as any other binding.
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+* Many.
+
+Building
+--------
+
+* Make pkg-config dependency conditional.
+
+Distribution
+------------
+
+* Removed Debian packaging, which is now available at packages.debian.org
+ or via apt-get.
+
+
+Older versions
+==============
+
+* See NEWS in ZeroMQ 2.1.x repository at http://github.com/zeromq/zeromq2-1.
