I'm going to bounce this back to the community since the only rationale for maintaining a version is that there are people who need that version. So let's take a vote. These are the options I can see, please choose one and argue / vent as you like: Option 1: maintain 3.0 through to stable, eventually deprecate 2.1 and then start packaging 3.1 as alpha. Pros: it's consistent and gives the impression we know what we're doing. Cons: it's insane because 3.1 speaks its own wire protocol incompatible with previous and following versions. Option 2: deprecate 3.0 now, and start packaging 3.1 as alpha. Since it's wire compatible with 2.1, people can test it immediately and we should be able to push it through to maturity rapidly. Pros: simplest. Cons: anyone using 3.0 in real life is kind of screwed. Option 3: remove labels from 3.0 and make it wire-compatible with 2.1 and 3.1. Continue with current release planning. Pros: gives us the release story we should have had from the start IMO. Cons: not sure if it's even possible. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
