latest version of libzmq

[sharathbaddam]

Why isn't this package using latest version of libzmq ?

If you want to build with a later release of libzmq, you can run:

npm install zeromq --zmq-external

This comes from the installation guide for users.

Alternatively, you can run the development copy from the master branch and start making PRs to incorporate later libzmq features you want.

I don't think that works so easily. We are trying to build like this and can post some update.

It would be great if zeromq could be updated to target libzmq update (4.3.1) that was created to address this vulnerability:

Great, let me know when you have a PR ready!

The latest 6.0 beta release now includes libzmq 4.3.2. It would be great if you could try it out! It includes a new API that addresses some fundamental issues with the previous API, but it does include a compatibility layer that should make upgrading easier. See #189 for the reasoning behind the new API.

If you run into any problems feel free to report it here or in a new issue.

Excellent. Thank you!
