This page summarizes the release planning for ns-3.21. The ns-3 release process is listed here and here.

The release manager is Tom Henderson.

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. An initial release candidate should be available by 12 September.

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.

Release platforms

  • OS X 10.9 Mavericks with Xcode 5.1
  • Ubuntu 14.04 (gcc-4.8)
  • Fedora 20 (gcc-4.8)
  • Debian 7 (gcc-4.9)
  • Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (gcc-4.4)
  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (gcc-4.6)

  • Wifi documentation patch from Sebastien Deronne (Daniel L)
  • Fix tutorial first.cc and documentation to explicitly call out the need for StopApplication() (Tommaso and/or Tom)
