                      2: 
                      3: iperf 3.2 Release Plans
                      4: -----------------------
                      5: 
                      6: We've done quite a bit of work the past few weeks getting the master
                      7: branch in shape to cut a new release, which will be the first of the
                      8: 3.2.x series.  These changes include fixes for a number of
                      9: long-standing bugs (such as some of the statistics computation, and
                     10: fixes for --file), as well as new features (for example optional
                     11: authentication and a configurable client connection timeout) and
                     12: general improvements (better timing for the --bitrate/--bandwidth
                     13: options).
                     14: 
                     15: We'd like to encourage users in the community who are comfortable
                     16: compiling iperf3 from GitHub sources, to checkout / clone the iperf3
                     17: master branch from GitHub and try it out in their environments.  (No
                     18: tarballs will be produced until the official 3.2 release, although I'd
                     19: say we're basically in "release candidate" stage now.)
                     20: 
                     21: There is a mostly-final set of release notes in the RELEASE_NOTES file
                     22: on master, so you can see what's new, changed, fixed, and so on.
                     23: 
                     24: Assuming no serious problems, we're aiming for an official release in
                     25: mid- to late-June (2017!).

                     28: --------------
                     29: 
                     30: After a lot of issue triage, we're down to 38 issues in the issue
                     31: tracker (plus three outstanding pull requests).  As mentioned in an
                     32: earlier update, a lot of the issues we closed were user questions, not
                     33: bug reports or enhancement requests.  We'd like to direct user
                     34: questions to either the mailing lists or to look on various question
                     35: sites such as Stack Overflow.  For bug reports (where you think iperf3
                     36: is doing something wrong) and enhancement requests (what can it do
                     37: better), please file an issue.
                     38: 
                     39: Thanks for your interest and support of iperf3,
