new release ?

Hello,

I'd like to know approximatively when the new release of olsrd will be available.
For what I've seen in the cvs repository, there wil be a new plugin interface which make it possible to access
to any function or variable of olsrd from a plugin (including directly the olsrd header files in the
plugins). Am I right ?
I may have to test this before the end of august and I'm wondering if the cvs version is stable enough to make
some tests. I'm running olsrd on linux.

Thanks a lot for your answer

Re: new release ?

Jerome,

We have not discussed any release date yet. 0.4.9 contains no
major bugs so we have been quite relaxed on 0.4.10.
But there are lots of updates, and you are correct about the
plugin interface, so I guess we'll start talking about a new
release soon.
The CVS code is usually stable enough for real life usage.
As of now there has not been any major changes for a while
AFAIK, and many people use the current version so I'd say
it's stable enough for usage/testing.
And as always, if you run into problems with the cvs version,
please let us know.

Re: new release ?

Hi Jerome,

I think that, yes, the Linux version is currently stable enough for
testing. However, I doubt that 0.4.10 will be released before the end of
August. We've collected a couple of ideas at the What The Hack conference
that might be interesting to have in 0.4.10 (e.g. an incremental
implementation of the Dijkstra algorithm to reduce CPU load - the new
algorithm would take the existing routing table and only recalculate those
parts that are affected by topology changes instead of recalculating the
complete routing table from scratch), so I am afraid that 0.4.10 is
currently not very close. But the CVS version works reasonably well for
me.

True. We really might want to try to shorten our release cycles a bit. It
probably does make sense to get the network simulation code running on
Windows, finish the TAS plugin, and then release 0.4.10.

Let's postpone any additional ideas and get this off our plate first. So,
yes, let's talk about a new release. :-)
