Hi,

I think it's better to stick with common patterns for libraries, that
is - major bump means backward incompatible API change, minor means
backward-compatible new APIs added, patch means bug fixes.

I don't think we have any DRAFT API queued up for stable for now - so I
think 4.2.3 is the right one for now, unless this changes.

I agree, and a lot of work was done in the past year to make it easier,
but there's a stability issue at the moment with the curve tests - with
some recent changes they are hanging with only STABLE APIs enabled, and
this is a release blocker IMHO - we shouldn't tag it yet.

I hope to get more time to deal with that this week, this is the
relevant discussion:

https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/pull/2650

After this problem is sorted I believe we should be in a good shape.
