[zeromq-dev] libuuid in zmq v3

[Elliot Saba]

Thanks Martin.

I'm currently developing a networked filesystem, and I'm using zmq as my
transport layer for both in-process concurrency management and external
peer-to-peer communication.  The peer-to-peer communication includes both
freeform peer-to-peer communication and structured large-scale
subscriptions/publishing (which is one reason I wanted to use zmq3).

I'm not yet to the point where I have started writing zmq-dependent code; in
your opinion, is zmq4 stable enough to begin developing applications on top
of it? I am not afraid of developing on the bleeding edge, and my project
has an estimated arrival date of over 9 months, so there is not a huge
amount of pressure for a rock-solid platform yet.
