Android App

Initial support for LANforge pure-java resource on Android phones. Includes TCP, UDP, IPv4, IPv6 and HTTP/HTTPS protocol support for traffic generation. This app has been used in campus WiFi testing.

Python Scripting

Improved python scripting support, including:
– auto-generated .py files to support LANforge CLI commands
– cleanup and stability improvements
– various new automated python tests

Regression testing of the scripting library fixed many areas. We are introducing support for Python virtual environments. Python Pypi libraries are now installed in user environment and do not require OS python libraries.

Fedora Support

We continue focusing our product around Fedora, and support python scripting on Fedora 27 and newer. Our latest products are installed using Fedora 34.
