perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

All,

We wanted to give everyone an update on the progress of the progress of perfSONAR 4.0, the next major release of the software. So far we have done two release candidates and have gotten a lot of great participation in testing the new release. As you may recall from emails we have been sharing the past couple months, we estimated a final release approximately in December. Using our own testing and community feedback as input, we think that in order to provide the community with the best possible software we will be doing a third release candidate in January with the final release to follow sometime after that. As the perfSONAR project has matured we have tried to hold the software to a higher standard, and what once may have made it through the release process we now scrutinize a bit more. We will send a more detailed timeline for the months going forward a bit closer to the RC3. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to your continued assistance in testing the software.

Thank you,

The perfSONAR Development Team
