I'm sorry but I can't tell how close the milestone is to "ready"? In this case I need to consume this via normal pip install and exercise the new enum support. Any idea when a new release might make it to Pypi? Thanks in advance (also for the nice tool).

Hi there, good question.

We could probably do a release candidate right now, if the rest of the maintainers agree. WDYT @guedou @p-l- ?

I'd like to have at least #3684 in the final release.

[guedou]

I can try to release a RC by Aug 21.

FTR, I started testing the current master on *BSD and made an attempt at testing Scapy on FreeBSD using github actions #3716

I just tagged v2.5.0rc1 on github and released it on PyPI. Enjoy!

I just tagged v2.5.0rc2 on github and released it on PyPI. It took way longer that I had expected. I am still struggling to make the last BSD regression tests work.
