A timely thread -- I tried an install of ndnSim2.0 yesterday and once I
found a combination that built, tried a few examples that are running
fine, so the above so far seems essentially true. But, following the
install instructions, I got build errors from ns-3/waf until I backed
off the most recent commit to ndn-cxx and also the most recent commit to
ns-3/src/ndnSim.
This is my first interaction with the ndn code: no prior experience with
simulator or path, so maybe I missed something. Is there some documented
stability point that I overlooked and I'm accidentally on bleeding edge
code, or is this a hiccup in the continuous integration model or
something else going on or just expected rough edges?
[If specifics are of interest, I needed to back off from the commits
marked -> to the commits marked *>, to fix build errors, with a couple
of examples shown.]
Cheers,

Hello,
the new version of the simulator is fully stable and you are encouraged to install it, because it provides the features of all the recent advancements of NDN research.
All issues have been resolved a long time ago as you can see here:

So I would like to ask if the current new version is stable already? Since my project is still at the beginning stage, it is fine for me to uninstall the previous version and install the new version from scratch. However for other people who have been working with the old version for a long time, they might have problems performing fresh install (to avoid errors from version mismatch between ndnSIM and ns-3, etc). Is it encouraged to upgrade to new version as soon as possible, or is it better to wait for this new version to be even more stable first? Thank you for your responses in advance.
