This page summarizes the release planning for ns-3.24 (early September 2015). The ns-3 release process is listed here and here.

The release manager is Tom Henderson. Please contact if you would like to participate in any way in preparing the ns-3.24 release, or helping to manage a future release.

  • If you are interested in testing a particular feature that is planned for ns-3.24, see the section on this page for testing repos.
  • If you are interested in helping with a code review of a specific feature that you'd like to see in ns-3.24, please leave your comments on the code review pertaining to the feature of interest.
  • If you are interested to see that a specific bug be fixed, please email ns-developers mailing list, or the release manager. You will probably be asked to help with creating a patch or testing an existing patch for that bug, if so.

Release goals

1) Python 3 support for at least the basic waf and test.py operations; see the Python3 page.

2) continue the transition to a more modular build system. While a change away from the Waf build system is not planned for ns-3.24, one goal is to start to allow modules outside the core of ns-3 to be maintained in separate places, and integrated using the 'bake' tool (rather than merge everything into ns-3-dev).

  • A proposal can be found at ns-3.22-build Slipping to future release

3) finally try to implement Object Start/Stop; Vedran is working on a patch slipping to future release

4) Add new features as they become ready. In particular, finish inclusion of previous summer project code, including SOCIS 2013 and 2014 code (Bundle Protocol, TCP satellite extensions), Google Summer of Code (MLDv2, AQM queues FqCoDel and SfqCoDel), and 2014 mentored projects (Mobility Service Interface, and Python 3 support). slipping to future release

Release and development schedule

ns-3.24 is planned for early September 2015; tentative dates are September 3 for code freeze, September 9 for release. ns-3 makes roughly three releases per year (Dec/Jan, Apr/May, and Aug/Sept timeframes).

Feature and patch review status

This table is meant to put review items for merge to ns-3-dev on a schedule. Maintainers of a module can commit changes as they see fit (i.e. without going through review for everything), but for proposals that seek or need a review, we should try to allow a default of 1 week review time before the release manager or a maintainer commits the change.
