BRMH 2.6.0 branch created; IPv6 plans
Written for Netrek Client BRMH by karthik on 2009-07-30
The first snapshot of BRMH 2.6.0 has been released for public consumption. While there are no groundbreaking features in this release, the next pre-release of BRMH will contain IPv6 support. I believe this is important because you WILL need to know IPv6 within the next 5 years if you're in the computing industry. In other words: you will be able to use netrek as an IPv6 playground, so it's a good chance to polish your IPv6 skills. There are several providers that will give you a free IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel to the public IPv6 Internet; I recommend www.tunnelbroke
I've already started adding IPv6 support to the server and metaserver; hacking it into newstartd for TCP-only support was trivial, but getting UDP and DNS and everything else working smoothly is a bit more work. But anyways, the next BRMH release will be paired with server patches for full IPv6 support, and I hope to see other clients add similar support as well.

I have noticed that the Netrek Project has been a featured project on the Launchpad homepage for quite some time, but I thought it would be nice to bring it to the attention of the community. Its amazing that we have drawn enough attention to get this honour.
