We've been moving away from the notion that the ABI version defines the product version, towards gradual improvement with backwards-compatibility guarantees. This seems more robust and less painful. Does anyone have strong opinions either way? -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
