All, I am happy to announce that VPP 18.04 has been released! The release notes can be found at https://docs.fd.io/vpp/18.04/release_notes_1804.html.
The various release artifacts have made their way to the right places on nexus.fd.io. Packaging for Centos 7 (Intel), openSUSE Leap 42.3 (Intel), Ubuntu Xenial (Intel) and Ubuntu Xenial (ARM) are available. Details on how to install them are available at https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Installing_VPP_binaries_from_packages. Packages for the Intel platforms have been tested; I will follow up with ARM package testing once I get my arm64 box setup! Our thanks to all of the VPP and FD.io community who have contributed to the 18.04 VPP release. Cheers, Chris.
