Fairly Outdated Version of GNS3

[AN]

Infact, I wouldn't call it a bug, but GNS3 0.8.7 (available in Ubuntu Repositories) is quite out dated.

The new versions have far more features and stability.

Kindly make the package for GNS3 version 1.3.2 available at https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/releases/download/v1.3.2/GNS3-1.3.2.source.zip

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ahmad,

Erik no longer maintains GNS3. I am the current maintainer for Debian
(and the PPA).

I am in the process of getting GNS3 updated to the newer V1 release, but
it is no small task!

I shall try and find some time on my next day off to get some more work
done and see if I can't finally get it pushed out.

Regards

Daniel
