[zeromq-dev] [zeromq-announce] When is new version of libzmq getting released?

[John Goetz]

I made a rough attempt at a PR, bumping the version to 4.4.0 which seemed a reasonable increment considering the volume of code changes over the past 2+ years:

https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/pull/4550

which was promptly closed as "not helpful" by @bluca. Unfortunately, it looks like he does not read this email list. I'm not sure, but those in this email thread may want to make another attempt or try to revive my now-dead PR.

This is @bluca's (https://github.com/bluca) closing comment:

"This is not useful. Apart from getting the versions wrong, and apart from the mess with whitespace changes, dumping git log into NEWS doesn't help, it needs to be curated. If you want to help, you can do manual QA on Windows/OSX/QNX/Solaris/BSD* and so on."

I had asked about the release schedule here and on gitter in January 2023 which was met with near silence.

Also, I'm under the impression that the master branch is to be considered stable, so I'm not sure what he meant by "manual QA". All we're looking for is a heartbeat version change, right?
