Release schedule

ns-3.21 is planned for September 17, 2014. New feature code should be ready for merge by no later than 5 September.

Release candidates

The first release candidate (rc1) was posted on Sept. 13. While this is considered to be nearly final and complete, the following minor issues are being addressed:

  • platform-specific (OS X) issue with one of the LTE tests
  • need more robust way for including fd-net-device module in LTE wscript (for FreeBSD)
  • formatting the new CoDel chapter in the model library documentation
  • add some documentation to the ns-3 tutorial regarding Simulator::Stop()
  • rescan bindings

A second release candidate is planned for Mon. Sept 15.

Packaging

ns-3.21 will be packaged as a source tarball as before: ns-allinone-3.21.tar.bz2.

The tarball will contain:

  • Latest version of pybindgen
  • Latest version of netanim
  • ns-3.21
  • bake

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

A patch from ns-3.20 to ns-3.21 will also be posted.
