It depends on how much testing is done by various parties. If you want to speed it up simply start using the 2.1 and report any bugs you may encounter. > I honestly don't > understand clearly how the releases are done and when (and I never > understood the need for an "unstable "release ;) ). To have a common reference point, something you can report issues about etc. > I really love zeromq, it is a really nice library and want to try it on > a work project but I want to integrates it with an event loop which is > why I need these two features, I already got working code for the most > part but working on an unstable or on HEAD is not really an option so > here I comes. Then you'll have to wait. That's the nature of collaborative development. You'll either help with what you want to see in the product or you just wait till others do it for you. > My concern is that it looks like a lot of things is happening on the > master branch with XPUB, XSUB and other things so my question is: are > all these features going to be released at once or will they be cut in > parts and released by pieces in stable versions ? XPUB and XSUB were added to the master to indicate that there will be such functionality in the future, however, all the non-trivial work on subscription forwarding is done outside of master, on sub-forward branch. > It would be great to have a minor release adding EVENTS/FD to be able to > start to really use the library with an event loop efficiently. If you want to backport EVENTS/FD to the maint branch, feel free to do so. Provide the patch in the standard way, just note it's a patch to maint instead of master: http://www.zeromq.org/docs:contributing Martin _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
