I'm trying to use ZMQ notifications on windows but they don't seem to work. Even with using the zmq_sub.py script, it still doesn't work. I noticed that the help message doesn't contain the zmq stuff. Is this intentional?

ZMQ is not available on Windows if you are using the "official" Bitcoin-Core binaries. If you wish to use it there, you need to compile Bitcoin-Core yourself.

Ok.
Why isn't ZMQ available in the official binaries then?

Our official binaries are completely static linked. IIRC, it would require some work to allow cross compile of libzmq with MinGW. But maybe @theuni can clarify that...

Looks like zmq has been fixed upstream since then: https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/pull/1615, but it hasn't made it into a release yet. It's unclear if that change is dependent on some prior fixes, or if it just always worked. I suppose we can backport the patch and test.
