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

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

39Thanks for your interest and support of iperf3,
