I just tagged Shadow v1.7.0, and added a link on the download page.

This release includes:

• Building with LLVM/Clang to automatically handle plug-in state
• Fixes for multi-threaded simulations (use the “-w” flag to specify the number of worker threads)
• Support for running multiple applications on each virtual node
• The ability to communicate with Tor’s control interface
• A host of other bugfixes and enhancements

Happy simulating!

I just tagged Shadow v1.6.1, and added a link on the download page. This is really more like a pre-1.7.0 release, but I wanted to get out some exciting new support for running multi-threaded simulations earlier!

This release includes:

• Support for running multi-threaded simulations! (use the “-w” flag to specify the number of worker threads)
• A few bugfixes

In preliminary testing, the biggest improvements have been seen when using between 4 and 8 worker threads. Happy simulating!

Shadow 1.6.0 is now available on the download page. The EC2 pre-installed and pre-configured image has also been updated. We also have some new and much needed user documentation (including setup instructions) on our github wiki page!

This release includes:

• New wiki pages and documentation updates
• Lots of bugfixes, including improved bootstrapping of private Tor networks
• New scripts for assisting with analyzing Shadow output
• … and much more!

A new version of Shadow is available on the download page!

This release includes:
