This page summarizes the ongoing release planning for ns-3.9. We are seeking a volunteer for release manager for the final release stages. Josh Pelkey and Tom Henderson are acting release managers at this time.
Tentative Release Schedule
- May 3 --
ns-3.8 posted; ns-3.9 Open phase begins - June 16 --
Deadline for proposing major new features to be merged; begin the phase of small feature development and bug fixing - June 25 --
Deadline for merge of major features identified on the release page - July 20 --
Small feature development and bug fixing ends; Maintenance phase begins - August 6 -- Maintenance phase ends, code freeze phase begins; only P1 critical blockers and documentation
beyond this date
- August 9 -- First release candidate (ns-3.9 RC1)
- August 13 -- Documentation freeze (manuals/tutorials/Doxygen)
- August 18 -- ns-3.9 posted, ns-3.10 phase begins
Release status
New feature merges
Already merged:
- Spectrum Modeling
- OFDM
- Bring rate representation in line with IEEE standard
- Enhancements to ns-2 trace reader (issue 473)
- Underwater Acoustic Network
- Rocketfuel topology reader
- WiFi patches for bugs 871, 881, 853
Pending merge:
Likely for ns-3.10:
- MPLS
- DSDV
- fragmentation for IPv4: being worked by Vedran Miletic
- simple wireless models
- Jamming model
- Initial support for the 802.11g PHY
Minor feature merges
Aim for ns-3.9 July 7:
- RecvIfIndex (issue 671)
- Generic sequence number class (issue 385)
- Issue 938: Add SO_BROADCAST socket option
Wait for ns-3.10:
- API for TOS bytes (issue 897) may wait for netfilter support
- Class name rename Scalar->Dimensionless (issue 445)
- NetAnim trace hooks for wireless (patch in preparation)
Critical issues
These issues are candidates to become blocker issues.
- Doxygen incomplete (discussed on list already)
- peekData warnings (issues 846 and 912)
- AODV problems reported by Kevin Peters (also, issue 879)
- Wimax serialize (issue 905)
Features that may slip
The following features are in danger of slipping to ns-3.10 or later:
- VANET mobility model (no reviews)
- TCP Vegas (blocked by lack of progress on TCP congestion control architecture)
- Chord/DHT (authors are planning to revise code based on comments)
- app store and build system refactoring
- remove ./waf --regression
