 iperf3 Release Notes
 ====================
 
+iperf-3.21 2026-04-09
+---------------------
+
+* Notable user-visible changes
+
+    * Support has been added for Global Segmentation Offload (GSO) and
+      Global Receive Offload (GRO) under Linux (PR #1926, PR #2007,
+      also note that a number of other pull requests were submitted
+      towards this functionality).
+
+    * The `--bind-dev` option is now supported on macOS (PR #1945).
+
+    * Support has been added on macOS for the equivalent of the
+      `tcp_info` structure (#1411, PR #2008). This change results in
+      TCP window information being printed in human-readable output
+      and a number of TCP statistics being added to the JSON output.
+
+    * The iperf3 server provides more information about various error
+      conditions to the client (PR #1914, PR #1931, PR #1950).
+
+    * The maximum value for the `--set-mss` option is now 32K (PR
+      #1816). Note that this option still does not work reliably in
+      all cases.
+
+    * The cancellation type of child threads was changed from
+      `PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS` to `PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED`
+      (#1991, #2003, PR #2004). This change fixes some hangs that
+      could occur at the end of a test.
+
+    * A race condition leading to a crash when closing sockets at the
+      end of a test has been fixed (PR #1990).
+
+    * iperf3 no longer erroneously prints that zero UDP packets were
+      lost during a lossy UDP test (#1984, PR #1988).
+
+    * A division by zero error has been avoided (PR #2002).
+
+    * The security posture of the `iperf3.service` file has been
+      improved considerably by updating a number of settings (PR
+      #1855). Note that this file is neither installed nor activated
+      by default.
+
+* Notable developer-visible changes
+
+    * iperf3 finally performs `ldconfig` as a part of `make install`
+      on platforms that require it (#1995, PR #2005).
+
+    * Various bug fixes (PR #1960, PR #1981, PR #2001).
+
+    * Various documentation fixes (PR #1972, PR #1974, PR #1993).

 You have another version of autoconf.  It may work, but is not guaranteed to.
 If you have problems, you may need to regenerate the build system entirely.
 To do so, use the procedure documented by the package, typically 'autoreconf'.])])
