Hi all, >From https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/pull/422
Devices were always a clumsy invention, not really mapping to anything people already knew. There notion of devices as a class of apps never took off. In the Guide, the explanation of devices always felt contrived and I remember, as a new 0MQ user, being quite mystified by these things, until I understood it was just a funny name for a loop of code. So, as part of upgrading the Guide for 3.2, I removed all discussion of devices and replaced the zmq_device call with zmq_proxy. At least proxy maps to a major use-case and is analogous with HTTP proxies. For fun I added a third socket to the zmq_proxy call, which receives all traffic (if not null). The old names are still there, of course, since our process forbids breakage of existing APIs. There's an example of this new method in http://zguide.zeromq.org/c:espresso. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
