<h1>changes from ns-3.3 to ns-3.4</h1>
<h1>Changes from ns-3.3 to ns-3.4</h1>
<h2>new API:</h2>
<h2>Changes to build system</h2>
<ul>
<li>A major option regarding the downloading and building of ns-3 has been
added for ns-3.4 -- the ns-3-allinone feature. This allows a user to
get the most common options for ns-3 downloaded and built with a minimum
amount of trouble. See the ns-3 tutorial for a detailed explanation of
how to use this new feature.</li>
<li>The build system now runs build items in parallel by default. This includes
the regression tests.</li>
</ul>
<h2>New API:</h2>
<ul>
<li>XML support has been added to the ConfigStore in /src/contrib/config-store.cc</li>
<li>The ns-2 calendar queue scheduler option has been ported to src/simulator</li>
<li>A ThreeLogDistancePropagationLossModel has been added to src/devices/wifi</li>
<li>ConstantAccelerationMobilityModel in src/mobility/constant-acceleration-mobility-model.h</li>
<li>A new emulation mode is supported with the TapBridge net device (see
src/devices/tap-bridge)</li>
<li>A new facility for naming ns-3 Objects is included (see
src/core/names.{cc,h})</li>
<li>Wifi multicast support has been added in src/devices/wifi</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes to existing API:</h2>
<ul>
<li>A new emulation mode is supported with the TapBridge net device (see</li>
<li>src/devices/tap-bridge)</li>
<li>Some fairly significant changes have been made to the API of the
random variable code. Please see the ns-3 manual and src/core/random-variable.cc
for details.</li>
<li>The trace sources in the various NetDevice classes has been completely
reworked to allow for a consistent set of trace sources across the
devices. The names of the trace sources have been changed to provide
some context with respect to the level at which the trace occurred.
A new set of trace sources has been added which emulates the behavior
of packet sniffers. These sources have been used to implement tcpdump-
like functionality and are plumbed up into the helper classes. The
user-visible changes are the trace source name changes and the ability
to do promiscuous-mode pcap tracing via helpers. For further information
regarding these changes, please see the ns-3 manual</li>
<li>StaticMobilityModel has been renamed ConstantPositionMobilityModel
StaticSpeedMobilityModel has been renamed ConstantVelocityMobilityModel</li>
<li>The Callback templates have been extended to support more parameters.
See src/core/callback.h</li>
<li>Many helper API have been changed to allow passing Object-based parameters
as string names to ease working with the object name service.</li>
<li>The Config APIs now accept path segments that are names defined by the
object name service.</li>
<li>Minor changes were made to make the system build under the Intel C++ compiler.</li>
<li>Trace hooks for association and deassociation to/from an access point were
added to src/devices/wifi/nqsta-wifi-mac.cc</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A new facility for naming ns-3 Objects is included (see</li>
<li>src/core/names.{cc,h})</li>

<li>StaticMobilityModel has been renamed ConstantPositionMobilityModel</li>
<li>StaticSpeedMobilityModel has been renamed ConstantVelocityMobilityModel</li>
<li>The tracing system rework has introduced some significant changes in the
behavior of some trace sources, specifically in the positioning of trace sources
in the device code. For example, there were cases where the packet transmit
trace source was hit before the packet was enqueued on the device transmit quueue.
This now happens just before the packet is transmitted over the channel medium.
The scope of the changes is too large to be included here. If you have concerns
regarding trace semantics, please consult the net device documentation for details.
As is usual, the ultimate source for documentation is the net device source code.</li>
