Broadband Platform Release Planning 16.5.0

Release Planning Page for Broadband Platform 16.5

Release Format

Users will be able to download the Broadband Platform Release 16.5 source distribution tar file that they can compile on their Linux/Mac OS X computers. We plan to release separate downloads containing GFs for the 7 regions supported by the Broadband Platform. Additionally, historical events will be distributed as separate downloadable files.

We also plan to create a Virtual Box image of the Broadband Platform Release 16.5 and make it available for users to download. This image will contain all packages needed to use the Platform.
