More improvements for end users

Here is a small update on what happened recently, like various small improvements to help the end users, a new mptcpd version and more to come. Read on to find out more about that!

Summer update

A bit more than 3 months after the last update, I think it is really time to share some updates about MPTCP! I have been quiet recently, not because I was on holiday – even if I should probably take some :) – but because there were always higher priority tasks than writing a new blog post which is something I’m slow at! Bug-fixes, improvements, apps support, conferences, what’s next: read on to find out more about what happened recently!

Maintainers responsibilities

Last month, I didn’t publish any new blog post here. Not because there was nothing to say, but simply because I was busy. Sadly, not 100% focused on the new tasks I wish to finish implementing, but mainly focused on resolving issues discovered while working on these new features. Should I have closed my eyes and carried on? Can maintainers do that? Read on to find out more about what happened recently!

Open Letter to the European Commission

As mentioned in the About page, this project is currently funded through NGI0 Core, a fund established by NLnet with financial support from the European Commission’s Next Generation Internet program.

Today, it is important to sign and share the following letter from les petites singularités, to have such free and open-source projects like ours to be able to continue to be supported, and make sure to have a better and safer Internet space for everyone.

Supporting new users

During the last few months, a lot of work has been done to help other kernel developers, and stabilize the current solution. It was really time to focus on supporting new users and application developers. Read on to find out more about what happened in April!

CI & new features

The previous post mentioned that February was still full of various “maintenance” tasks, mainly around the backports, and the preparation of the future Linux 6.9. The beginning of March was similar to that, then more time was finally available to look at fixing issues, and preparing new features. Read on to find out more about what happened in March!

Backports

The previous post mentioned that January was still full of various “maintenance” tasks, mainly around the CI, and the various tests we have. These tasks were somehow blocking other devs and maintainers work. Without these blocking tasks, more time was available to look at fixing issues, and preparing new features. Until a huge batch of backports came! Read on to find out more about what happened in February!

CI CI CI

The previous post was predicting more work on the CI side, and… That was correct! A new environment causing unexpected kernel crashes, new CI instances finding new bugs, third party tools causing issues, etc. Read on to find out why January seems to be the month dedicated to CI activities!
