in the near term.
This release has been tested on the following systems:
- Fedora 30 with g++-9.1.1
- Ubuntu 19.04 with g++-8.3.0

- macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave) with Xcode 10.3
- macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) with Xcode 10.1
New user-visible features
-------------------------
- (core) ShowProgress object can be used to report on simulation execution
- (wifi) Preamble detection can now be modelled and is enabled by default.
- (wifi) 802.11ax spatial reuse is now supported.
- (lte) Radio Link Failure (RLF) functionality is now supported.
- (lte) LTE/EPC model enhanced with new features: SGW, PGW, MME are full nodes; new S5 interface between SGW and PGW, allows simulations with multiple SGW/PGW
- (lte) LTE eNB RRC extended to support improved S1 signalling model
- (lte) Backhaul links can now use any link technology, not just point-to-point
- (traffic-control) Cobalt queue disc model has been added.

New user-visible features
-------------------------
- (buildings) A new position allocator has been added to the buildings module.
The allocator places nodes randomly but in a manner that rejects positions
that are located within buildings defined in the scenario.
- (applications) Add 3GPP HTTP model
- (traffic-control) Add priority queue disc (PrioQueueDisc)
- (tcp) Added PRR as recovery algorithm
- (wifi) Add a new trace source to StaWifiMac to trace beacon arrivals
- (network) Add a method to allow random variable-based jitter to be added
to the start times of applications in a container.
- (network) Add a method to check whether a node with a given ID is within
a NodeContainer.
- (spectrum) A new trace source named "Gain" is added to the SpectrumChannel class.
This trace is fired whenever a new path loss value is calculated. It exports pointers
to the mobility model of the transmitter and the receiver, Tx antenna gain, Rx antenna gain,
propagation gain and the pathloss value.
- (wifi) It is now possible to transmit A-MPDUs containing up to 256 MPDUs (802.11ax only)

Release 3.25
============

- FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE (64 bit) with clang-3.4.1
New user-visible features
-------------------------
- (internet) The native TCP implementation has been refactored, for the
following improvements:
1) congestion control has been aligned with the Linux architecture,
to facilitate easier coding of new congestion control algorithms
or porting implementations from the Linux kernel,
2) Fast Retransmit and Fast Recovery algorithms, compliant to RFCs, are
shared by all TCP variants, unlike previous releases.
3) TCP Hybla and TCP HighSpeed variants have been added.
- (routing) The PrintRoutingTable* functions now print the following information
each time they are called:
1) the node ID,
2) the global time,
3) the local time (allowing for future introduction of per-node clocks),
4) the routing protocol type
- (traffic control) A traffic control sublayer has been added with the aim of
introducing an equivalent of the Linux Traffic +Control infrastructure into
ns-3. This layer sits in between the NetDevices (L2) and the network
protocol (e.g. IP). It is in charge of processing packets and performing
actions on them: scheduling, dropping, marking, policing, etc. Initial
support for flow control has been added to the PointToPointNetDevice;
backward-compatible support for other device types is provided.
- (traffic control) A three band priority queue modelled after Linux
pfifo_fast queueing discipline has been added.
- (traffic control) Adaptive RED extensions have been added to the RED model
- (wifi) A number of changes related to improving support for 802.11n/ac
models have been introduced.
1) Two rate controls compatible with High Throughput (HT) Wi-Fi modes
(e.g. 802.11n/ac), Ideal and MinstrelHT, have been added
2) Support for multiple spatial streams (MIMO) using existing SISO
error models
3) The WiFi helper API for the WifiMac sublayer, and the configuration
of HT modes and parameters, has been simplified
4) Better support for backward compatibility with legacy modes
- (wifi) 802.11g was made backward compatible with 802.11b networks
- (internet) L4 protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) can be demultiplexed
by IP according to the incoming interface. In other words, it is now
possible to use specialized L4 protocols according to the interface.
- (internet) Ipv6Address::IsAllHostsMulticast() is now deprecated.
FF02::3 is not in the official reserved IPv6 multicast address list.
- (internet) Ipv6Address::IsAll[Nodes,Routers]Multicast() now checks the
address scope beyond the simple link-local. Nodes are checked for
Interface-Local, Link-Local and Realm-Local, Routers for the above plus
Site-Local.
- (internet) Ipv6 routing protocols must now *not* forward packets to upper
layers unless for extremey specific cases. The Ipv6L3protocol handles
almost all the packets directed to the host.
- (internet) Ipv6 can now reject packets directed to an address not configured
on the interface they are received from (Strong End System Model, RFC 1222).
- (internet) UDP and Ipv6 RAW sockets can now join Ipv6 multicast groups.
Incoming packets will be filtered according to if there's a socket listening
to that group. Source filtering is left to the application.
- (network) ns-3 is now capable of serializing cooked (SLL) headers. This is
used in DCE to allow the generation of pcap directly readable by wireshark.
- (internet) It is now possible to set custom values for RipNg Link Down
(standard is 16).
- (internet) permanent (static) NDISC entries can be created for IPv6
- (internet) IPv4 RIPv2 protocol model is now available.
