251: ......................................
252:
253: Beginning with the release of iperf 3.1, ESnet plans to support iperf3
254: in "maintenance mode". At this point, we have no definite plans for
255: further iperf3 releases, and ESnet will be providing a very limited
256: amount of resources for support and development, going forward.
257: However, ESnet could issue new iperf3 releases to deal with security
258: issues or high-impact bug fixes.
259:
260: Requests for support, enhancements, and questions should best be
261: directed to the iperf-dev mailing list. ESnet would be open to adding
262: project members/committers from the community, in case there are
263: developers who are interested in doing more active work with iperf3
264: and/or supporting the user base.
