0MQ version 2.1.11 (Stable), released on 2011/12/18
===================================================

Bug fixes
---------

* Fixed issue 290, zmq_poll was using system time instead of monotonic
  clock (Mika Fischer).

* Fixed issue 281, crash on heavy socket creation - assertion failure in
  mutex.hpp:91. (Mika Fischer).

* Fixed issue 273, O_CLOEXEC flag used in ip.cpp:192 is supported only 
  on Linux kernels 2.6.27+

* Fixed issue 261, assertion failure in kqueue.cpp:76.

* Fixed issue 269, faulty diagnostic code in 2.1.10.

* Fixed issue 254, assertion failure at tcp_socket.cpp:229 on ENOTCONN.

Changes
-------

* Now builds properly on AIX 6.1 (AJ Lewis).

* Builds using libdcekt on HP-UX (AJ Lewis).

* New upstream OpenPGM maintenance release 5.1.118.

* Enabled debugging on assertion failure on Windows (Paul Betts).


0MQ version 2.1.10 (Stable), released on 2011/10/03
===================================================

Bug fixes
---------

* Fixed issue 140, SWAP failed with assertion failure in pipe.cpp:187
  if the current directory was not writeable. Behavior now is to return
  -1 at zmq_setsockopt in this situation.

* Fixed issue 207, assertion failure in zmq_connecter.cpp:48, when an
  invalid zmq_connect() string was used, or the hostname could not be
  resolved. The zmq_connect() call now returns -1 in both those cases.

* Fixed issue 218, sockets not opened with SOCK_CLOEXEC, causing fork/exec
  to sit on sockets unnecessarily.

* Fixed issue 250, build errors on Windows (Mikko Koppanen).

* Fixed issue 252, assertion failure in req.cpp:87 and req.cpp:88 (Mikko
  Koppanen).


0MQ version 2.1.9 (Stable), released on 2011/08/29
==================================================

Bug fixes
---------

* Fixed issue 240, assertion failure in pgm_socket.cpp:437.

* Fixed issue 238, assertion failure in zmq.cpp:655, when zmq_poll is
  used on an empty set, on Windows.

* Fixed issue 239, assertion failure in zmq.cpp:223, when ZMQ_SWAP was
  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
==============================================

Bug fixes
---------

* Fixed issue 223, assertion failure in tcp_connecter.cpp:300 when
  connecting to a server that is on an unreachable network (errno is
  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
  OS/X only.

Note: this release was renamed "release candidate" due to issue 236,
fixed in 2.1.9.


0MQ version 2.1.7 (Stable), released on 2011/05/12
==================================================

Bug fixes
---------

* Fixed issue 188, assert when closing socket that had unread multipart
  data still on it (affected PULL, SUB, ROUTER, and DEALER sockets).

* Fixed issue 191, message atomicity issue with PUB sockets (an old issue).

* Fixed issue 199 (affected ROUTER/XREP sockets, an old issue).

* Fixed issue 206, assertion failure in zmq.cpp:223, affected all sockets
  (bug was introduced in 2.1.6 as part of message validity checking).

* Fixed issue 211, REP socket asserted if sent malformed envelope (old issue
  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).

* Fixed memory leak with threads on Windows.

Changes
-------

* Checks zmq_msg_t validity at each operation.

* Inproc performance tests now work on Windows.

* PGM wire format specification improved in zmq_pgm(7)

* Added thread latency/throughput performance examples.

* Added "--with-system-pgm" configure option to use already installed
  OpenPGM.

* 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
  has now been fixed (Martin Sustrik).

* 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).

* Build system now calls OpenPGM build process directly, allowing easier
  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).

Building
--------

* 0MQ builds properly on FreeBSD (Mikko Koppanen).


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".
