These changes include fixes for a number of +long-standing bugs (such as some of the statistics computation, and +fixes for --file), as well as new features (for example optional +authentication and a configurable client connection timeout) and +general improvements (better timing for the --bitrate/--bandwidth +options). + +We'd like to encourage users in the community who are comfortable +compiling iperf3 from GitHub sources, to checkout / clone the iperf3 +master branch from GitHub and try it out in their environments. (No +tarballs will be produced until the official 3.2 release, although I'd +say we're basically in "release candidate" stage now.) + +There is a mostly-final set of release notes in the RELEASE_NOTES file +on master, so you can see what's new, changed, fixed, and so on. + +Assuming no serious problems, we're aiming for an official release in +mid- to late-June (2017!). + +iperf3 Support +-------------- + +After a lot of issue triage, we're down to 38 issues in the issue +tracker (plus three outstanding pull requests). As mentioned in an +earlier update, a lot of the issues we closed were user questions, not +bug reports or enhancement requests. We'd like to direct user +questions to either the mailing lists or to look on various question +sites such as Stack Overflow. For bug reports (where you think iperf3 +is doing something wrong) and enhancement requests (what can it do +better), please file an issue. + +Thanks for your interest and support of iperf3, + +Bruce Mah +Software Engineering Group +ESnet |
