#### v18.1 (1/31/18): Bug Fixes and Speed Tester improvements
17+
This release includes several bug fixes including:
18+
- Changed macro and inline function declarations to improve compatibility with 3rd party libraries and newer gcc versions (tested with 4.8 and 5.4)
19+
- Solved memory leak in SDN flow table example
20+
- Load Balancer NF now correctly updates MAC address on outgoing packets to backend servers
21+
22+
Improvements:
23+
- Speed Tester NF now supports a `-c` argument indicating how many packets should be created. If combined with the PCAP replay flag, this parameter controls how many of packets in the trace will be transmitted. A larger packet count may be required when trying to use Speed Tester to saturate a chain of network functions.

1728
Since the last official release there have been substantial changes to openNetVM, including the switch to date based versioning mentioned above. Changes include:
1829
- New TX architecture: previously NFs enqueued packets into a TX ring that was read by TX threads in the manager, which consumed significant CPU resources.
