Default to ON. The minimum required CMake version has been bumped from 2.8 to 2.8.8. * Fixed #1802 - fix using ziflist in a VirtualBox VM running on OSX. * Fixed #1798 - fix build on Cygwin. * Fixed #1773 - fix zfile_restat on Windows XP with newer MSVC++. * Fixed #1765 - fix build on OpenBSD. * Fixed #1755 - improve reliability of zproxy selftest in slower environments. * Fixed #1753 - fix zloop_set_nonstop to actually use the parameter passed by the user rather than always setting nonstop to true. * Fixed #1747 - check for OOM condition in zstr_send* functions. * Fixed #1730 - improve the internal usage of system random generator APIs to be more reliable. * Fixed #1728 - chomp all leading "/" in zfile_filename. * Fixed #1726 - do not bind to hard-coded TCP ports in self tests. * Fixed #1722 - define the PRI* types if not available on Windows. * Fixed #1715 - document ZSYS_SIGHANDLER behaviour w.r.t. the zsys_catch_interrupts API. * Fixed #1712 - clarify zsock_brecv documentation w.r.t buffers. * Fixed #1711 - set User-Id field in ZAP responses. * Fixed #1710 - clarify documentation of zframe_meta - the caller must not modify the returned value. * Fixed #1702 - clarify documentation of zhashx_set_key_comparator and zhashx_set_key_hasher. * Fixed #1675 - fix zhashx_purge memory leak when shrinking. * Fixed #1672 - fix compile error 'sockaddr_in': undeclared identifier on MSVC. * Fixed #1671 - add support for new (DRAFT) socket types in zframe_recv_nowait and zmsg_recv_nowait. * Fixed #1671 - correctly complete multipart receives in zmsg_recv_nowait. * Fixed #1667 - if ZSYS_IPV6_ADDRESS is link-local but does not have the %interface suffix, append it from ZSYS_INTERFACE. * Fixed #1659 - reset all CZMQ internal state in zsys_shutdown to facilitate use with fork without exec. * Fixed #1649 - set static pointers to NULL to fix restarting CZMQ via zsys_shutdown -> zsys_init. * Fixed #1644 - zbeacon on Windows only sends on one interfaces with INADDR_BROADCAST set (interface option "*"). * Fixed #1634 - zloop is using reader callback after zloop_reader_end. * Fixed #1632 - NULL pointer exception in ziflist on Windows if network adapters are added/removed whilst being enumerated. * Fixed #1623 - remove mentions of retired APIs from manpages. * Fixed #1618 - fix build with GCC 7. * Fixed #1616 - zsys_udp_recv will now return NULL when failing to retrieve the peer's address instead of silently failing. * Fixed #1616 - zsys_udp_recv's parameter peername must now be at least NI_MAXHOST long when IPv6 is enabled. * Fixed #1616 - add IPv6 support to zbeacon using, by default, link-local all-node address fe02::1 in lieu of broadcast (which does not exist on v6). The multicast address can be specified via zsys so, theoretically, it should work across multiple networks as well (untested!). * Fixed #1615 - add link-local all-node fe02::1 as the default zsys IPv6 multicast address. * Fixed #1615 - add IPv6 support to ziflist on *nix through new (DRAFT) APIs to avoid changing the output of old ones: ziflist_new_ipv6, ziflist_reload_ipv6 and ziflist_is_ipv6. * Fixed #1603 - generated socket options, and public API/ABI, were changing depending on the version of libzmq used at build time. Keep all the symbols stable instead and add additional runtime checks. Socket options APIs will now be built as empty stubs if unavailable in the libzmq version used at build time, and will return an error if not available in the libzmq version used at runtime. * Fixed #1609 - fix zdir selftest on Windows. * Fixed #1608 - document that on Windows it is necessary to call zsys_shutdown manually as DLLs do not support atexit() callbacks, and manually call it from all unit tests. * Fixed #1606 - use inproc instead of ipc in zproxy selftest to fix failure on Windows. * Fixed #1602 - ZSYS_INTERFACE: if the value is a single digit, interpret it as an index. Facilitates using it on Windows with complicated interface names. * Fixed #1599 - correctly handle CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT in Windows. * Fixed #1597 - added czmq_private_selftest to test private classes without exporting their symbols in the shared library. * Fixed #1597 - declare some internal-only helper functions as static to avoid exporting their symbols. * Fixed #1594 - correctly return -1 and set errno to EINVAL from zpoller_remove if the reader does not exist * Fixed #1590 - zsys_shutdown does not call zmq_term when it closes sockets which results in dangling sockets warnings. * Fixed #1588 - fix debian/kfreebsd build and always use external UUID library, if available, regardless of the OS. * Fixed #1459 - clarify zgossip documentation. * Fixed #1026 - zmsg_remove decreased count of frames even when it failed. * Fixed #1032 - clarify documentation of zhash_autofree and zhashx callbacks. CZMQ version 4.0.2 stable, released on 2016/12/31 ================================================= * Fixed #1559 - DRAFT zsock_new_*_checked symbols leak * Fixed #1560 - zsock options could be available at build time but not at runtime. Added runtime check, an error will be printed if the option is not available. * Fixed #1565 - improved compatibility with Solaris/Illumos * Fixed #1573 - memory leak when message send fails in internal usage CZMQ version 4.0.1 stable, released on 2016/11/10 ================================================= * Version 4.0.0 introduced the DRAFT mechanism, but it had a flaw: the internally defined DRAFT symbols were leaking as global in the shared library. This meant that although the API was stable, the ABI could in some cases not be. This has now been fixed using compiler's visibility attribute to avoid this problem. CZMQ version 4.0.0 stable, released on 2016/11/04 ================================================= * v4.0.0 breaks API and ABI compatibility with v3.0.2. The ABI version has been bumped to 4. * The v2 API, which have been declared DEPRECATED in v3.0.0 released on 2014/10/15, have now been declared RETIRED and removed from this release. The following classes are gone: - zauth_v2, use zauth - zbeacon_v2, use zbeacon - zctx, use zsock - zmonitor_v2, use zmonitor - zmutex - zproxy_v2, use zproxy - zsocket, use zsock - zsockopt, use zsock - zthread, use zactor The following DEPRECATED methods have also been declared RETIRED and removed from their STABLE classes: - zcert_fprint, use zcert_print - zcertstore_fprint, use zcertstore_print - zhash_foreach (and callback), use zhash_first/next - zhashx_foreach (and callback), use zhashx_first/next - zhashx_autofree, use zhashx_set_destructor - zloop_ignore_interrupts, use zloop_set_nonstop - zpoller_ignore_interrupts, use zpoller_set_nonstop * Some STABLE APIs unfortunately had to be slightly changed to fix critical issues. From v4.0.0 we commit to avoid incompatible changes to STABLE APIs. The following signatures have changed: - v3.0.2: byte * zarmour_decode (zarmour_t *self, const char *data, size_t *decode_size) v4.0.0: zchunk_t * zarmour_decode (zarmour_t *self, const char *data) - v3.0.2: zarmour_mode_t zarmour_mode (zarmour_t *self) v4.0.0: int zarmour_mode (zarmour_t *self) - v3.0.2: int zarmour_test (bool verbose) v4.0.0: void zarmour_test (bool verbose) - v3.0.2: zcert_t * zcert_new_from (byte *public_key, byte *secret_key) v4.0.0: zcert_t * zcert_new_from (const byte *public_key, const byte *secret_key) - v3.0.2: byte * zcert_public_key (zcert_t *self) v4.0.0: const byte * zcert_public_key (zcert_t *self) - v3.0.2: byte * zcert_secret_key (zcert_t *self) v4.0.0: const byte * zcert_secret_key (zcert_t *self) - v3.0.2: char * zcert_public_txt (zcert_t *self) v4.0.0: const * zcert_public_txt (zcert_t *self) - v3.0.2: char * zcert_secret_txt (zcert_t *self) v4.0.0: const * zcert_secret_txt (zcert_t *self) - v3.0.2: char * zcert_meta (zcert_t *self, const char *name) v4.0.0: const * zcert_meta (zcert_t *self, const char *name) - v3.0.2: void zdigest_update (zdigest_t *self, byte *buffer, size_t length) v4.0.0: void zdigest_update (zdigest_t *self, const byte *buffer, size_t length) - v3.0.2: byte * zdigest_data (zdigest_t *self) v4.0.0: const byte * zdigest_data (zdigest_t *self) - v3.0.2: enum zdir_patch_op_t {ZDIR_PATCH_CREATE, ZDIR_PATCH_DELETE} v4.0.0: define ZDIR_PATCH_CREATE ZDIR_PATCH_DELETE - v3.0.2: zdir_patch_t * zdir_patch_new (const char *path, zfile_t *file, zdir_patch_op_t op, const char *alias) v4.0.0: zdir_patch_t * zdir_patch_new (const char *path, zfile_t *file, int op, const char *alias) - v3.0.2: zdir_patch_op_t zdir_patch_op (zdir_patch_t *self) v4.0.0: int zdir_patch_op (zdir_patch_t *self) - v3.0.2: void zhash_test (int verbose) v4.0.0: void zhash_test (bool verbose) - v3.0.2: void zlist_test (int verbose) v4.0.0: void zlist_test (bool verbose) - v3.0.2: void zlistx_set_destructor (zlistx_t *self, czmq_destructor destructor) v4.0.0: void zlistx_set_destructor (zlistx_t *self, zlistx_destructor_fn destructor) - v3.0.2: void zlistx_set_duplicator (zlistx_t *self, czmq_duplicator duplicator) v4.0.0: void zlistx_set_duplicator (zlistx_t *self, zlistx_duplicator_fn duplicator) - v3.0.2: void zlistx_set_comparator (zlistx_t *self, czmq_comparator comparator) v4.0.0: void zlistx_set_comparator (zlistx_t *self, zlistx_comparator_fn comparator) - v3.0.2: void zlistx_test (int verbose) v4.0.0: void zlistx_test (bool verbose) - v3.0.2: zmsg_t * zmsg_load (zmsg_t *self, FILE *file) v4.0.0: zmsg_t * zmsg_load (FILE *file) - v3.0.2: zmsg_t * zmsg_decode (const byte *buffer, size_t buffer_size) v4.0.0: zmsg_t * zmsg_decode (zframe_t *frame) - v3.0.2: size_t zmsg_encode (zmsg_t *self, byte **buffer) v4.0.0: zframe_t * zmsg_encode (zmsg_t *self) - v3.0.2: int zsys_udp_send (SOCKET udpsock, zframe_t *frame, inaddr_t *address) v4.0.0: int zsys_udp_send (SOCKET udpsock, zframe_t *frame, inaddr_t *address, int addrlen) - v3.0.2: zframe_t * zsys_udp_recv (SOCKET udpsock, char *peername) v4.0.0: zframe_t * zsys_udp_recv (SOCKET udpsock, char *peername, int peerlen) * The following new STABLE methods were added to STABLE classes: - zarmour_mode_str, zarmour_print (see doc/zarmour.txt for details) - zconfig_test (see doc/zconfig.txt for details) - zframe_meta (see doc/zframe.txt for details) - zlistx_head zlistx_tail, zlistx_destructor_fn, zlistx_destructor_fn, zlistx_comparator_fn (see doc/zlistx.txt for details) - zloop_set_nonstop (see doc/zloop.txt for details) - zpoller_set_nonstop (see doc/zpoller.txt for details) - zsys_set_max_msgsz, zsys_max_msgsz, zsys_set_ipv6_address, zsys_ipv6_address, zsys_set_ipv6_mcast_address, zsys_ipv6_mcast_address, zsys_set_auto_use_fd, zsys_auto_use_fd (see doc/zsys.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. The following DRAFT classes were added: - zproc - ztimerset - ztrie The following DRAFT methods were added to their respective STABLE class: - zcert_unset_meta - zcertstore_set_loader, zcertstore_empty - zframe_routing_id, zframe_set_routing_id, zframe_group, zframe_set_group - zhashx_unpack_own, zhashx_pack_own, zhashx_serializer_fn, zhashx_deserializer_fn - zmsg_routing_id, zmsg_set_routing_id - zstr_str * Support for new libzmq DRAFT socket types was added to zsock. See libzmq 4.2.0 release notes and doc/zsock.txt for more details. NOTE: until libzmq declares these as STABLE, the CZMQ support will be in DRAFT state as well. * Support for all new libzmq socket and context options was added to zsock. See libzmq 4.2.0 release notes and doc/zsock.txt for more details. * Many, many bug fixes. Check git log for the complete set of changes. CZMQ version 4.0.0 (rc1), released on 2016/11/01 ================================================= Release candidate 1 for 4.0.0. Changelog TBD. CZMQ version 3.0.2 stable, released on 2015/06/08 ================================================= Added LICENSE, README, and CONTRIBUTING. CZMQ version 3.0.1 stable, released on 2015/06/02 ================================================= CZMQ version 3.0.0 (rc1), released on 2014/10/15 ================================================ CZMQ version 2.2.0 stable, released on 2014/04/23 ================================================= CZMQ version 2.1.0 stable, released on 2014/03/20 ================================================= CZMQ version 2.0.3 stable, released on 2013/11/16 ================================================= Fixed to support ZeroMQ 3.2; was causing a build error due to use of ZMQ_STREAM in zsockopt.c. CZMQ version 2.0.2 stable, released on 2013/10/08 ================================================= * Fixed builds on MSVC and FreeBSD. * Fixed minor build issues in RC2. CZMQ version 2.0.1 (rc2), released on 2013/09/21 ================================================ Updated to support ZeroMQ v4.x. If you are using an older version of CZMQ it will not build correctly with ZeroMQ v4.x. Sorry about that. Added support for the new socket options: * zsocket_set_req_relaxed () * zsocket_set_req_correlate () * zsocket_set_conflate () CZMQ version 2.0.0 (rc1), released on 2013/09/19 ================================================ The changes are mainly tools to support encryption via the libzmq CURVE mechanism, but also some new API constructs to make it simpler to do common messaging work. Bug fixes and cleanups of codebase: * zconfig_load () failed if the ZPL file contained a blank line. * zconfig_locate () allows and ignores initial '/' on pathname. * Added zsys_vprintf () to centralize all variable string formatting; this code was duplicated many times across the project. * Updated zmsg interface documentation to be more detailed. * Removed deprecated zstr_sendfm () method. * Removed deprecated zstr_sendf () method. * Removed definition of ZMQ_IGNERR and added zloop_set_tolerant () to configure a specific poller as error-tolerant. * Removed deprecated zframe and zmsg zero-copy methods; this API was too complex and split over several classes, and IMO if we want this optimization it should be in a new zero-copy class with a clean API. * Removed deprecated zsocket zero-copy methods, for above reason. * Removed deprecated zlist_copy method. * Renamed zframe_print_to_stream to zframe_fprint and kept old name as deprecated macro. * Removed (not deprecated) zctx_set_hwm () as its semantics were not consistent, and confusing to people. * Removed (not deprecated) zctx_hwm (). We now have separate HWMs for normal socket SND and RCV, and for inter-thread pipes. There is no need to provide accessor methods for these. New API methods to simplify common messaging tasks: * Added zpoller class to provide new minimalist interface to zmq_poll. This class makes it very simple to read off a set of sockets, which is an 80% usecase. * Added zstr_sendx () to send multiple strings in one call. Inspired by PyZMQ's multipart send method. * Added zstr_recvx () to receive multiple strings in one call. We do a lot of multipart string reads; this makes it simpler for simple cases. * Added zclock_timestr () to provide date/time as printable string. * Added zmsg_append () that nullifies caller's frame reference; this is more consistent with the API style than zmsg_add (), which is deprecated. New classes used for security infrastructure: * Added zchunk class (from FileMQ), for managing memory blocks. This is a simpler model than zframes, which are optimized for message data. * Added zhash_comment () to add comments to a serialized zhash file. * Added zhash_refresh () to reload a backing file if modified on disk. * Added zconfig_comment () to add comments to saved config file, and added code to save such comments from file when loading it. * Moved zfile (char *filename) methods to zsys, to make place for a new zfile class based on the CLASS object model. The old methods are still provided but are deprecated. * Added zfile class (from FileMQ), for managing files. This provides a rich file class with metadata and operations. This is a component for directory management (zdir). * Added zdir class (from FileMQ), for managing directories. This lets us work with filesystem directories. I wanted this to be able to load certificates for security authentication. * The zdir and zfile classes are slightly stripped down from their FileMQ originals; no symbolic links, no directory difference tools. * Unfortunately to keep the old zfile_size and zfile_time methods, I had to use zfile_cursize and zfile_modified in the new class. This is a little clumsy. * Added zsys_file_modified () to return timestamp for a filename. * Added zcert class to work with Curve certificates. A certificate is a public + secret key pair, plus metadata like name, email, etc. and is saved as two files, a public text file and a secret text file. Certificates are stored in ZPL (ZMQ RFC 4) configuration file format. * Added zauth class to automate ZAP authenticators. This class does a simple plug and play authentication of clients against certificates stored in the $HOME/.curve directory. This can be extended over time with other designs. * Added zcertstore class to work with Curve certificate stores. This is a directory or in-memory store holding a set of certificates. * Extended zsockopt generation to allow use of binary keys in CURVE key options (e.g. zsocket_set_curve_secretkey_bin ()). * Added addons/makecert.c tool to generate CURVE certificates. * Added examples/security directory with several examples. For full details, see git log. CZMQ version 1.4.1 (stable), released on 2013/05/01 =================================================== Changes ------- * Fixed assertion in zbeacon on sendto error. * Fixed packaging of platform scripts in /builds. * See git log for rest. CZMQ version 1.4.0 (stable), released on 2013/04/30 =================================================== Changes ------- * Added zbeacon class. * See git log for rest. CZMQ version 1.3.2 (stable), released on 2012/12/22 =================================================== Changes ------- * See git log. CZMQ version 1.3.1 (stable), released on 2012/10/27 =================================================== Changes ------- * See git log. CZMQ version 1.3.0 (rc), not released ===================================== CZMQ version 1.2.0 (stable), released on 2012/08/06 =================================================== Changes ------- * zsockopt_ functions renamed to zsocket_, for clarity. Old names are still provided for compatibility. * SUB sockets are no longer subscribed to everything. * Fixed issue CZMQ-7, wrong name used for CZMQ man page. * Changed zsocket_connect() to return 0 or -1, since zmq_connect() now checks endpoints properly (issue LIBZMQ-207). * All classes handle memory exhaustion correctly by returning an error instead of asserting. * zsocket_identity implemented correctly. * Added zctx_underlying() to provide access to low-level 0MQ context object, to allow manipulation for extreme cases and tests. * For the rest, check the git history :-) CZMQ version 1.1.0 (stable), released on 2011/08/30 =================================================== Changes ------- * Fixed issue CZMQ-2. (https://zeromq.jira.com/browse/CZMQ-2) * Removed unused ctx argument from zthread_new() call. * zloop works with zmq_pollitem_t * instead of void * sockets; allows use of native FDs in reactor as well as 0MQ sockets. * zloop_reader renamed to zloop_poller. * zloop_cancel renamed to zloop_poller_end, and API changed to work with zmq_pollitem_t * instead of a single 0MQ socket void *. * Added zloop_timer_end, taking same argument as for zloop_timer. * zloop_poller_end cancels ALL handlers for the socket or FD. * Added zmsg_content_size method to report full content size of message. * zmsg_save returns 0/-1 depending on success/failure (previously returned void). * zmsg_dump limited to first 10 frames, to allow mix of large and small messages in applications. * zframe_print truncates output at 70 chars to prevent over-long output. * Added ability for zsocket_bind to bind to ephemeral port in range 0xc000 to 0xffff. * zmq_bind always returns port number bound to, if successful. * Added zfile class with minimal helper functions. * Added zfile_size method to return file size, as ssize_t. * Added socket multipart flush to zctx_destroy to work around libzmq issue 134, which asserts if a fair-queuing socket still has input at close. * Added zframe_eq method to compare two frames' size and content. * Changed zmsg_load to append to an optional existing message. * Fixed zloop to allow timers to be added after reactor was started. Without this fix, the reactor would spin at max speed instead of properly calculating the timer. (Luc Heinrich) * Modified zmsg_pushstr and zmsg_addstr to accept variable argument list and do vsnprintf formatting of provided string. * Added zhash_rename function to allow soft renaming of item keys. * Added tblsize and tbllast macros, so very useful when you need them. * Added zmsg_encode and zmsg_decode functions to serialize messages to and from a byte buffer. * Added zframe_recv_nowait method to read frame without blocking. CZMQ version 1.0.0 (stable), released on 2011/04/26 =================================================== Changes ------- * At build time, reports error if libzmq version isn't at least 2.1. * Renamed project to CZMQ for coherence with other language bindings. libzapi version 1.3.2 (beta), released on 2011/04/15 ==================================================== Changes ------- * Added zsocket_type_str method to return printable socket type. * Added zloop_set_verbose method to enable/disable reactor activity. * Fixed zloop to call right handlers even if handlers register/cancel other handlers. * Fixed zloop to not call handlers when interrupted. * Added zsocket_set_hwm method to emulate 2.x option (sets both send and recv high-water marks). * Several parts of the 3.0 porting didn't work properly - fixed. * Added macro set to aid portability from 2.1 to 3.0: ZMQ_POLL_MSEC, ZMQ_DONTWAIT, zmq_sendmsg, zmq_recvmsg. libzapi version 1.3.1 (beta), released on 2011/04/09 ==================================================== Changes ------- * Added compatibility for new libzmq/3.0 API. libzapi version 1.3.0 (beta), released on 2011/04/08 ==================================================== Changes ------- * Ported to win32, all selftests pass successfully. * New zsockopt class provides API to set/get socket options. * New zsocket class provides API to connect and bind sockets using printf semantics to format endpoints. * Threading API now supports detached and attached threads via zthread class, and zthread_new and zthread_fork methods. * Pipes to attached threads have HWM of 1 (each side) to block runaway writers. * In zframe class, added print, reset, strdup, streq, strhex, dup methods. * In zmsg class, added last, wrap, unwrap, popstr, pushstr, addstr, dup methods. * In zclock class, added log method. * In zstr class, added sendm and recv_nowait methods. * Added Valgrind suppression file for libzmq. Bug Fixes --------- * Fixed error in thread pipe handling which sometimes provoked libzmq assertion failure at shutdown. libzapi version 1.2.1 (beta), released on 2011/04/01 ==================================================== Changes ------- * Rewrote zctx class, which was wrongly working with sockets in two threads. Much simpler, and properly stable now. * Project renamed to 'libzapi' for consistency with 'libzmq'. * Expanded main documentation page significantly. zapi version 1.2.0 (beta), released on 2011/03/24 ================================================= Changes ------- * Added zclock class for portable millisecond timers and delays. * Expanded documentation significantly. zapi version 1.1.0 (beta), released on 2011/03/23 ================================================= Changes ------- * Added zctx_thread_new method to create child threads with a PAIR pipe to talk to them. * Made zapi threadsafe, specifically multiple threads can share the same context and thus talk to each other. zapi version 1.0.0 (beta), released on 2011/03/22 ================================================= Changes ------- * Initial version of library finished, tested, documented, and packaged.
