Solution: move it from DRAFT to STABLE since it's been in a public
release, committed for 6+ months and has not changed.
Given a new STABLE symbol has been added, bump minor version number.
The zero copy decoding strategy implemented for 4.2.0 can lead to a large
increase of main memory usage in some cases (I have seen one program go up to
40G from 10G after upgrading from 4.1.4). This commit adds a new option to
contexts, called ZMQ_ZERO_COPY_RECV, which allows one to switch to the old
decoding strategy.
And I'm on a reasonably sized laptop. I think allocating INT_MAX
memory is dangerous in a test case.
Solution: expose this as a context option. I've used ZMQ_MAX_MSGSZ
and documented it and implemented the API. However I don't know how
to get the parent context for a socket, so the code in zmq.cpp is
still unfinished.
Solution: set defaults back to infinity, and add new context
option, ZMQ_BLOCKY that the user can set to false to get a
less surprising behavior on context termination. Eg.
zmq_ctx_set (ctx, ZMQ_BLOCKY, false);
The new options allows querying the maximum allowed number of sockets.
This is system dependent and cannot be encoded in the include file as a
preprocessor macro: for ZMQ_USE_SELECT, this depends on the FD_SETSIZE
macro at time of library compilation, not at time of include file use.

authors and referred to the contribution policy. Hopefully this will improve
the contributions to the man pages.
* Implemented new ctx API (_new, _destroy, _get, _set)
* Removed 'typesafe' macros from zmq.h
* Added support for MAX_SOCKETS (was tied into change for #337)
* Created new man pages
