+RMR Release Notes
+=================
+
+The following is a list of release highlights for the RMR
+library. At one point in time the RMR repo also housed a
+wrapper library with a separate version and release cycle.
+This resulted in *leap frogging* versions for each package;
+the RMR core library was assigned odd major numbers (e.g.
+3.1.0). When the wrapper code was moved to a different repo
+the need to leap frog versions ceased, and beginning with
+version 4.0.0, the RMR versions should no longer skip.
+
+
+2020 June 22; version 4.1.1
+---------------------------
+
+Add new message types to RIC header file for
+ RIC_ALARM (110)
+ RIC_ALARM_QUERY (111)
+ RIC_METRICS (120)
+ RAN_E2_RESET_REQ (12008)
+ RAN_E2_RESET_RESP (12009)
+
+
+
+2020 June 18; version 4.1.0
+---------------------------
+
+Bump version minor to move away from 4.0.* which will bump
+for any patches applied back to bronze.
+
+Add magic C++ goo to symtab header file allowing C++ xAPPs to
+use the symbol table directly.
+
+
+
+Bronze Release
+==============
+
+
+

+count issue. (RIC-355)

+
+The NNG based libraries are no longer included in the RMR
+packages. This is considered a breaking change as NNG will
+not be supported by default. It is still possible to build
+with RMR-NNG libraries, but that is the exception. The API
+between 3.8.2 and 4.0.0 is the SAME. Upgrading to 4.0.0 only
+means that the underlying transport mechanism is limited only
+to SI95.
+
+The rmr_rcv_specific() function has been deprecated as it was
+necessary only for NNG and Nanomsg support. Its use should be
+discontinued.
+
