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
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* 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.
