+Release Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+iperf - Version 3, beta 1
+
+New in this version:
+  * TCP control socket now manages messages between client and server
+  * Dynamic server (gets test parameters from client)
+      - Server can now set test options dynamically without having to restart.
+             Currently supported options: -l, -t, -n, -P, -R
+             Future options: -u, -b, -w, -M, -N, -I, -T, -Z, -6
+  * Results exchange
+      - Client can now see server results (and vice versa)
+  * Reverse mode (-R)
+      - Server sends, client receives
+
+Note: iperf3 is NOT backwards compatible with iperf2.

 iperf is a tool for performing network throughput measurements.  It can test
 either TCP or UDP throughput.  To perform an iperf test the user must
