Hi, All.

Regarding IPv6 multicast address change in IoTivity, we need quick move.
As a request of IoTivity Lead Architect, let me organize the time line as
follows.

# IoTivity patch is submitted.  (Stephane: done)
# Verification                          (SungKyu.Ko : Virtual QA lead 7/12)
# Code Merging (1.1-rel branch) (Ashok : Maintainer for CA Layer 7/12)
# PF participant apply this update      (Participants: 7/12)
# CTT is modified with this update              (Mitch : 7/12)

Let me update the status whenever event happens.

In addition to this patch, we may expect the another update for IoTivity
1.1.1 by tomorrow(7/13)
BR, Uze Choi

This doesn't sound viable to me.  Immediately, except excluding 1.1 era
implementations?

That means code rework to deal with trying on two address ranges during the
transition period, no? No sure how trivial that is.

Whichever, a decision Real Soon due to the status of 1.1.1 would seem to be
needed.
