We removed it in 3.x as part of some major cleanups. Identities in pub/sub allowed a subscriber to keep messages on the publisher even when disconnecting. This was useful but also problematic as it caused memory leaks for publishers. The abstraction wasn't clean as there would still be message loss in cases. So 3.x removed durable sockets. I think the consensus was that this was a good simplification. Identities are now used only when talking to ROUTER sockets. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
