This page summarizes the ongoing release planning for ns-3.19. The ns-3 release process is listed here and here.

The release managers are Tom Henderson and [bpswenson3@gatech.edu Brian Swenson]. Contact them if you would like to coordinate your software inclusion with this release.

Release schedule

ns-3.19 is scheduled for December 11, 2013. There will likely be a new feature freeze about 1 month prior to that, and a code freeze about a week before the final release. More details will be posted at a later date.

Proposed supported platforms

Our primary platforms for this release are planned to be:

  • Latest Fedora (32/64 bit systems)
  • Ubuntu 13.10 (32/64 bit systems)
  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 10.04 LTS (64 bit)
  • Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks (64 bit) with Xcode 5.0
  • FreeBSD 8.4, 9.2 (64 bit) using gcc and clang compilers

Packaging

ns-3.19 will be packaged as a source tarball as before: ns-allinone-3.19.tar.bz2.

The tarball will contain:

  • pybindgen
  • netanim
  • ns-3.19
  • bake

where bake is used to fetch optional ns-3 components.

Release goals

This release will be mainly aimed at cleaning out the tracker as much as possible. After this release, we plan to take the next step at further [BakeIntegration modularizing the code].

The following goals are being worked on at this time:

More goals to be added at a later date.

Bugs being worked

We will use bugzilla to track bug priorities (esp. P1 blocker bugs) for the next release.
