enable epoll/ipc on Windows wheels

[minrk]

Initially enabled in #1570, epoll has been disabled in our wheels due to causing unavoidable crashes for some users (#1981, #1754, #1999)

Because these crashes are relatively rare, users installing pyzmq from source can still enable it, and pyzmq will follow libzmq's own defaults and build with epoll/ipc enabled:

pip install --no-binary pyzmq pyzmq

We should not re-enable ipc in our Windows wheels until there is a confirmed fix for zeromq/libzmq#4730 (it is incredibly hard to test)

any updates on re-enabling IPC on the windows wheels? I'd really like to use ipc

[minrk]

We need to wait for a libzmq release where ipc doesn't cause crashes on Windows.

Hi

Just wondering if re-enabling IPC on windows is still blocked due to crashes? The issue mentioned in the changelog is closed but I wasn't sure if that was due to inactivity?

Thanks

I think it is fixed in the repo, but there is not a libzmq release (4.3.6) with the fix yet.
