[Ns-developers] Ns-3.1 Release Candidate 1 Posted

[craigdo@ee.washington.edu]

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce that release candidate number one for the initial
release of ns-3 is available at the below location:

http://www.nsnam.org/releases/ns-3.1-RC1.tar.bz2

This is a release candidate, which means that we believe this version of
ns-3.1 is ready for release, but we want to make absolutely sure that
nothing has snuck in that could cause serious problems.  We would appreciate
it if you all could find time to look at this candidate with an eye to
finding problems before we call it "golden."

Please see this "getting started" page if you are new to ns-3:
