[Ns-developers] ns-3.4 Daily Status for Friday, March 20, 2009

[Raj Bhattacharjea]

Dear All,

Here is your daily update regarding the upcoming release.  The bulk
of the information will be kept up-to-date here:

http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Ns-3.4

I will keep emailing out this link along with status changes.


News:
=====

ns-3.4-RC1 has been made!  It is available at the following locations:
All-in-one Tarball:
http://www.nsnam.org/releases/ns-allinone-3.4-RC1.tar.bz2
Mercurial:
http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3.4-RC1/

We are on course to making the release schedule; the slated date is
April 1st.

Bugs:
=====

There are now 6 P1 bugs in the tracker, and 6 lower priority P2 bugs.  Note that
the wiki buglist is not up to date, so I won't include it here.  Three
of the remaining
bugs were found at the last minute, and they involve the Cygwin build
being broken.
That said, RC1 appears to build on Linux and Mac OS X.  Please beat on RC1 to
make sure things work, and then file bugs in the tracker if you find any errors.

The three TCP bugs are still P1, and being worked on through the RC process.
I have decided to leave them this way and make the RC anyway, with minimal P1
bugs in the tracker.

Progress / Closed Bugs:
=======================

None.

New Bugs:
=========

Bugs against the release candidate's behavior on Cygwin have been filed.

Next Steps:
===========

The next release candidate is slated for Monday;
A full schedule of upcoming milestones can be found here:
http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Ns-3.4#The_ns-3.4_Release_Schedule

The TCP bugs and Cygwin issues need to be resolved before the final
release can be made.
Thanks everyone!
