Release 21

Changes

Breaking Changes

Shares received from external stratums used to consist of just two ZMQ Frames. This release introduces an additional frame that preceedes the frame containing the the serialized share data which specifies the serialization format as a 32 Bit unsigned integer. The lower 4 bits of this integer can currently have the value 1 for JSON or 2 for ProtocolBuffers.
