GNS3 ,the most successful network simulation software, announced that they release the new version (GNS3 2.0). Here is the details of the new version :
This is a major milestone for GNS3 – this version brings a new architecture allowing us to add exciting new features and also gives us a solid foundation for more (including Labs).
Major new features of 2.0 include “save as you go” (thanks to the new architecture), smart packet capture, VPCS/clouds/switches templates, a new “cloud node”, a new NAT node and much more. GNS3 now supports a large, and growing list of vendors including Arista vEOS, Cumulus VX, Brocade Virtual ADX, Checkpoint GAiA, A10 vThunder, Alcatel 7750, NetScaler VPX, F5 BIG-IP LTM VE, MikroTik CHR, Juniper vMX and more….
Please see What’s new in GNS3 version 2.0 for a detailed overview.
IMPORTANT NOTE to upgrade from 1.5.x and earlier versions of GNS3
Please do not upgrade if you are working on something important like a certification or something else. Understand there is no rollback possible once you open an older project in version 2.0.

Known bugs and issues
- A project will be closed if a client closes GNS3 even if two or more clients are connected to that same project.
- Opening a .gns3 file from Windows explorer will work even when connected to a remote server. This should not be possible and we will add a proper error in a future release.
- Warning about Qt threads may appear when exporting a GNS3 portable project.
