We need two bugs fixed for 3.1 to be generally usable. They are:

https://zeromq.jira.com/browse/LIBZMQ-270

and

https://zeromq.jira.com/browse/LIBZMQ-280

The 3.1 branch has kept the publisher-side filtering. The main difference 
between 3.0 and 3.1 is rolling back the LABEL work and eliminating the 
difference between XREQ/DEALER and XREP/ROUTER so that they are the same again 
as in 2.1.x.

As for a timeline, there isn't one. This is opensource software so bugs get 
fixed as people have time to devote to writing and testing the patch. The main 
core dev is currently occupied with paying work, so unless his "day" job 
requires one (or both) of the aforementioned bugs to be repaired, then it might 
be a while before he gets to it. Note that this does not preclude another sharp 
C/C++ programmer from digging in and figuring it out.
