I have just pushed the final IPv6 code for the TFTP client.
Having spent two days in rewriting some corner cases, I even
uncovered an old bug, now fixed in f526fef.

The present client has proven itself in

  GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD, GNU/OpenSolaris, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD.

Most of my present testing used our TFTP server on GNU/kFreeBSD
and the client on GNU/OpenSolaris (i.e., NexentaCore), but the
client was then tested on the remaining systems.

Now my planned code changes have been brought in for the new release,
so on my part only bug resolution would change any compilable code.
Of course documentation and testing remains, as always.

Best regards,
  Mats
