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

  1. May 3 -- ns-3.8 posted
  2. May 3 -- ns-3.9 Open phase begins
  3. June 16 -- Deadline for major new feature merge; begin the phase of small feature development and bug fixing
  4. July 7 -- Small feature development and bug fixing ends; Maintenance phase begins
  5. July 25 -- Maintenance phase ends, code freeze phase begins
  6. August 5 -- ns-3.9 posted
  7. August 5 -- ns-3.10 Open phase begins

Minor feature merges

The following minor features seem to be ready for merging or should be fixable soon:

  • API for TOS bytes (issue 897) may wait for netfilter support
  • RecvIfIndex (issue 671)

On the fence

The following features would be nice to include in ns-3.9 but we are currently lacking any review, patch, or proposal.

  • fragmentation for IPv4: being worked by Vedran Miletic
  • NewReno TCP (issue 824)
  • NetAnim for wireless
  • Generic sequence number class (issue 385)
  • Class name rename Scalar->Dimensionless (issue 445)

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
