> Some time ago, we talked about doing a "hotfix" type of release for
> ns-3.2.  I have prepared a release candidate for this release,
> available via tarball and mercurial:
> http://www.nsnam.org/releases/ns-3.2.1-RC1.tar.bz2
> http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3.2.1-RC1
>
> This is a fork of ns-3.2, with fixes pulled in from the development
> branch.  The fixes are minimal, and address mostly errors in user
> example scripts, and issues in which ns-3 wouldn't build or pass tests
> on a particular platform.  The release notes will be updated before
> the final release, which I hope to make by Friday.
>
> You can see the mercurial history for more details, but the short list is:
> simple-error-model.cc sinks not enabled
> csma-one subnet better variable names / start sinks
> 337 opt build fails on ubuntu 8.10 due to address.cc
> simple-alternate-routing infinite loop
> 372 - wifi fragmentation fix
> 371 - wifi-ap broken
> 343 - bench-packets broken
> unused variable nfragment in wifi-remote-station-manager
> packet unit test fails on opt
>
> I ask that the developers give this a quick once over.  If there are
> any bug fixes you think I have missed, or any which you think don't
> deserve to be in this release, please let me know ASAP.  If there are
> comments, RC2 will be out late Tuesday/early Wednesday, with a
> possible RC3 on Thursday for this minor release.


I think these should also be in the release:

33b1372d4108: "Python: fix bug with missing wrapper registration for objects
created directly via the python constructor"

d26d57ddf801: "bug 352: STA receives back the broadcasts it sends."

And thank you for making this release :-)
