[Ns-developers] release update

[Mathieu Lacage]

hi,

It's been a while, and we are getting closer to our original target
release date of june 15th. 

Tom, Craig, and I had a phone conversation on wednesday to talk about
the status of the ipv4 rework. Tom plans to merge his ns-3-ip-routing
tree in ns-3-dev on monday. This tree appears to contain the crux of the
API changes we wanted with a couple of implementation issues to sort
out. Given the tight schedule, we agreed to aim for a 2-week
stabilization and bug fixing period after the merge, and then, to freeze
ns-3-dev around june 15th, hence, targeting june 21st or early july for
a final release.

Current items still on the table for merging:
  - the tag rework: maybe it can make it after ip-routing is in
  - the virtual net device: gustavo, do you have interest in pushing
this forward with the name change (TapNetDevice) suggested by tom ?
  - other items I forgot ?
