Yeah, I didn't mean to step on anyone’s toes. I have tried to keep the same interface in the new bindings. The only API change that I can think of is splitting the zmq.init() function into two init(io_threads) and init_ctx(userdata). They could be merge back together, my reason for splitting them might not really be valid. The other changes are additions of new functions. > In general people using a binding in production will not trust new > code for a while. Yes, that is a good reason not switch to the new version right away. > So I've put both bindings onto the page, please fix the titles if > they're inaccurate. I see that thanks. I will try to add some details about how the new bindings still work without FFI support. > Cheers > Pieter > _______________________________________________ > zeromq-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev -- Robert G.
