INET-3.5.0 Stable Release Available

February 22, 2017

This release contains mostly bug fixes and compatibility changes. It requires OMNeT++ 5.1. Earlier versions of OMNeT++ are not compatible.

Highlights in this release:

Build:

• The build process is now using precompiled headers. This can speed up the build process considerably.
• Feature macros (WITH_*) that show the enablement of features are now placed into a header file (src/inet/features.h) instead of passed on the command line. The build process adds the WITH_OSG and WITH_OSGEARTH macro to the opp_defines.h file when WITH_OSG/WITH_OSGEARTH is set to yes. This allows the IDE to properly highlight/disable the appropriate code fragments.
• 64-bit build is now supported on Windows.

Visualizers:

• Added a Plot figure (see InstrumentsExample).

DHCP:

• DHCP fixes.
• DHCP can now activated in a Router by setting hasDHCP=true
• Added new WirelessNetWith2DHCP example.

Radio:

• Added two-ray interference model (TwoRayInterference) as a pathoss model.

SCTP:

• Added StreamReconfig support for SCTP (by Irene Ruengeler)

GPSR:

• Allow to specify the interface name in a parameter instead of using a hardcoded interface name.

Fixes:

• Small fixes in SimpleEnergyStorage and during Antenna initialization
• Calling IPv6RoutingTable::getInterfaceByAddress(const L3Address& address) or findGpsrOptionFromNetworkDatagram() function caused infinite recursion.
• Radio: Fixed FreeSpacePathLoss bug in the loss formula for alpha != 2 case, reported by Benjamin Sliwa.
• SimpleVoIPServer now resolves destAddress at startTime (instead of initialization)
• Ieee8021dRelay: fixed a null pointer crash
• StaticConcentricMobility: fixed a rounding issue
• ICMP: fixed “icmp error answer to a fragmented udp packet” problem
• ICMP: fixing bug #64: Buffer Overflow Error
• AODV: no longer causes assertion failure when RREP-ACK arrived after a timeout
