    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!).

   27: iperf3 Support
   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,
