    various other bugs.
    
    These security issues were fixed :
    
      - Did not validate the other party's security handshake
        properly, allowing a man-in-the-middle downgrade attack
        (CVE-2014-7202).
    
      - Did not implement a uniqueness check on connection
        nonces, and the CurveZMQ RFC was ambiguous about nonce
        validation. This allowed replay attacks (CVE-2014-7203).
    
    Other issues fixed in this update :
    
      - CURVE mechanism does not verify short term nonces.
    
      - stream_engine is vulnerable to downgrade attacks.
    
      - assertion failure for WSAENOTSOCK on Windows.
    
      - race condition while connecting inproc sockets.
    
      - bump so library number to 4.0.0
