+Crossroads I/O Release Notes
+----------------------------
+
+This file documents the major changes in between releases of Crossroads
+I/O. For a detailed list of changes please refer to Git history, or the
+ChangeLog file included with your distribution of Crossroads.
+
+
+Release 1.0.0 (15 March 2012)
+-----------------------------
+
+Initial release. Changes listed here are as compared to libzmq release
+3.1.
+
+New features:
+
+* The io_threads argument has been removed from xs_init(), and the default
+ number of I/O threads per context is now 1.
+* Context options added - see xs_setctxopt(3):
+ * The XS_IO_THREADS context option allows the user to specify the size of
+ the worker thread pool.
+ * The XS_MAX_SOCKETS context option allows the user to specify the
+ maximum number of sockets that can exist in parallel within a context.
+* Allow setting the source address for TCP connections - see xs_tcp(7).
+* ZeroMQ drop-in compatibility mode, enabled by the --enable-libzmq option
+ to configure. This is a binary compatible emulation of the ZeroMQ 2.1.11
+ API, for details see zmq(7).
+
+Bugfixes:
+
+* Fix pgm_receiver.cpp: zmq_assert (pending_bytes == 0). (LIBZMQ-205)
+* Fix assertion in pgm_sender_t::plug(). (LIBZMQ-303)
+* Race condition in zmq_term() fixed.
+* Message loss when a SUB socket disconnects fixed.
+* Fix data loss for PUB/SUB and unidirectional transports. (LIBZMQ-268)
+* Bug in linger implementation fixed.
+* Fix IPC transport domain socket stream file not being removed when
+ connection is closed.
+* Removal of pipe from dist_t fixed.
+* Only use AI_V4MAPPED if defined, and don't use it on FreeBSD.
+
+Optimisation:
+
+* Several optimisations to reduce the memory size of PUB/SUB subscription
+ map.
+* Avoid one extra call to poll() when there are no more data to send.
+
+Build:
+
+* MSVC build updated to use MSVC2010 instead of MSVC2008.
+* configure prints out a summary of XS configuration.
+
+Self tests:
+
+* Many more tests have been added, see the tests/ subdirectory.
+* The self tests can now be run from a MSVC build, see the "tests" project.

+ZEROMQ COMPATIBILITY
+--------------------
+The Crossroads library provides an optional drop-in 'libzmq' compatibility
+library for ZeroMQ applications. If your version of Crossroads was built with
+the `--enable-libzmq` option, you can find the compatibility library
+documentation in linkxs:zmq[7].

+NAME
+----
+zmq - Crossroads I/O ZeroMQ compatibility library
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*#include <zmq.h>*
+
+*cc* ['flags'] 'files' *-lzmq* ['libraries']
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This 'libzmq' compatibility library is provided by the Crossroads I/O project
+as a transitional drop-in replacement for existing applications and language
+bindings written for the ZeroMQ library.
+
+The interfaces provided emulate those provided by ZeroMQ release 2.1.11, and
+binary compatibility is provided for ABI version 1.0.0.
+
+Existing applications can use these interfaces as a drop-in replacement for the
+ZeroMQ-provided 'libzmq' by installing the Crossroads version of this library
+in its place.
+
+Applications can also be recompiled against this library with no code or build
+system changes.
+
+IMPORTANT: The 'libzmq' compatibility library is an optional component of
+the Crossroads project, intended as a way to ease transition of existing
+applications and language bindings to the native 'libxs' interfaces, this
+feature will not be maintained indefinitely, hence developers are strongly
+encouraged to migrate their applications to 'libxs'.
+
