[Ns-developers] ns-3.3 Daily Bug Status for Tuesday, December 16, 2008

[craigdo@ee.washington.edu]

Dear All,

News:
=====

We had a regression discovered this morning by our ever-diligent PI, Dr. Tom
Henderson.  It seems that the nightly regression testing hasn't been
entirely successful.  A regression test apparently does not indicate
properly that an error has happened.  It has appeared (for weeks now) that
test-csma-ping was working fine on OS/X PPC when, in fact, it was failing.
The underlying error in the V4Ping application as been fixed (it was a
trivial thing), but this means we get to do another RC and I get to do a
whole lot of manual testing now just because I am basically paranoid at
heart.  All of this means that I am slipping the release by one day and we
can now expect to see ns-3.3 on Thursday.

I would appreciate all the help I can get beating on ns-3.3-RC5 (coming out
later tonight) since time is ticking down and, as Tom just demonstrated,
your testing is important!

So, Tom gets the extremely impressive daily ns-3 grand door prize for
finding this bug.  There are still many prizes to be awarded -- you, too can
be one of the lucky winners.  Please test, test and test some more ...
