	~~We usually try to keep pace with the~~ latest ~~popular versions of Linux,~~ OS X, ~~and FreeBSD. For the ns-3.24 release~~, ~~we plan to support the following systems~~ and ~~compilers:~~		The latest OS X with Xcode, Fedora Linux, and Ubuntu Linux releases, along with some long term stable Linux releases such as CentOS 6.6 and Ubuntu 12.04/14.04.

	~~TBD~~

	~~= Testing repos =~~

	~~Some repositories~~, ~~based on a recent copy of ns-3-dev, will be available for testing specific features.~~

	~~== Mobility Service Interface ==~~

	~~Tiago Cerqueria has posted~~ some code that uses Google Maps and Directions API to fetch waypoints for the ns-3 waypoint mobility model, corresponding to real-world routes provided by the service. There is a testing repository available for this code (the patchset in https://codereview.appspot.com/176430044/ is too large to download from Rietveld). To test, one must obtain an API key from Google, as described in the code review issue. One must also have installed GeographicLib, xerces-cpp, libcurl, and libdl.
	~~<pre>~~
	~~hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-dev~~
	~~cd ns-3-dev/src~~
	~~hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/tomh/mobility-service-interface~~
	~~cd mobility-service-interface~~
	~~mkdir conf~~
	~~# copy your API key to this conf directory~~ as ~~described here https://codereview.appspot.com/176430044/~~
	~~cd ../../~~
	~~./waf configure ...~~
	~~</pre>~~

	~~= New features =~~

	~~Developers are working or planning to work on the following new features for ns-3.24.~~

	~~'''Note:''' there is no guarantee that the features will be finished by the end of the release cycle, so check back for progress/status.~~

	~~=== Energy Enhancements (Cristiano Tapparello) ===~~
	~~Cristiano plans several additions:~~
	* New models for energy sources, converters, predictors, and sensor models (code to be posted soon)
	* LithiumIonEnergySource helper
	* RVBatteryModel bug fixes

	~~=== DSR ===~~
	* LEAR extensions https://codereview.appspot.com/96130043/
	~~'''Status:''' Tomasz is working on addressing the review comments (no update recently)~~

	~~=== Epidemic Routing ===~~
	* https://codereview.appspot.com/13831049/
	~~'''Status:''' Still undergoing code review revisions.~~

	~~=== UAN WOSS ===~~
	* https://codereview.appspot.com/14677043/

	~~=== Satellite models ===~~
	* http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-developers/2014-June/012071.html

	~~== Statistics ==~~
	~~Enhancements to data collection framework are planned to enable more flexible configuration of time series, time avearge, and asynchronous event plotting (Li Li, Felipe Perrone, Tom Henderson).~~
	* '''Status:''' Code review under discussion: https://codereview.appspot.com/245260043/

	~~=== TCP ===~~

	~~For ns-3.24, a significant rework of TCP architecture and new TCP tests are planned:~~
	* https://github.com/kronat/ns-3-dev-git/tree/gsoc-ack-state-machine
	* https://github.com/kronat/ns-3-dev-git/tree/gsoc-tcp-tcb
	* https://github.com/kronat/ns-3-dev-git/tree/gsoc-fix-tcp-bugs

	~~The below two items will probably slip to the ns-3.25 release.~~

	* Some of the TCP variants for satellite networks (Natale Patriciello) will be merged soon
	** https://codereview.appspot.com/122010043/
	** Note: Natale suggested that TCP Hybla and HighSpeed may be the first to be merged.

	* RttEstimator improvements (Natale Patriciello)
	** Resolve [https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1412 bug 1412] RttEstimator to network module

	~~== Software maintenance issues ==~~
	* [https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1900 Time arithmetic consistency]
	* [https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.~~cgi?id=1868 Wstrict-overflow~~ and ~~gcc-4~~.~~9] (Tom Henderson and Peter Barnes)~~
	* [https://~~www~~.~~nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1941 Remove unnecessary dependency on Application module in other modules (1941)] Tommaso Pecorella~~
	** Cleanup of remaining modules unnecessarily dependent on applications (aodv, mesh, olsr, lte)

	~~'''Status:''' No change on the above lately~~.
