AFAIK it's a complete rewrite. It's supposed to be more modular: there are the
"low level" independent modules ZMQ::LibZMQ2 and ZMQ::LibZMQ3, and then an
higher level interface, ZMQ that can use both. The ZeroMQ module tried to
provide a low level interface for both zeromq 2.x and 3.x as well as the high
level interface into a single package and it got very messy, so the author
decided to rewrite it. As for the rename (ZeroMQ -> ZMQ), I think it was asked
by the zeromq community to better align with the bindings for other languages
and also because they are not completely API compatible.
Cheers
