| NFD version 0.5.1 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| Release date: January 25, 2017 |
| |
| Changes since version 0.5.0 |
| |
| New features |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - In ndn-autoconfig, add the Find (geographically) Closest Hub stage (NDN-FCH) using a |
| `deployed service <http://ndn-fch.named-data.net>`__ (:issue:`3800`) |
| |
| - Add ``face_system.ether.whitelist`` and ``face_system.ether.blacklist`` config options for |
| Ethernet multicast faces creation (:issue:`1712`) |
| |
| - Add ``face_system.udp.whitelist`` and ``face_system.udp.blacklist`` config options for |
| UDP multicast faces creation (:issue:`1712`) |
| |
| - Introduce ``tables.cs_policy`` config option to configure cache policy (policy change requires |
| restart of NFD) (:issue:`3148`) |
| |
| - Introduce strategy parameters that can be specified when selecting a strategy for a |
| namespace (:issue:`3868`) |
| |
| - Initial implementation of route re-advertise feature. This release only includes supporting |
| classes. Full implementation of this feature is expected to be introduced in the next |
| release (:issue:`3818`). |
| |
| - Introduce ``FACE_EVENT_UP`` and ``FACE_EVENT_DOWN`` notifications (:issue:`3794`, :issue:`3818`) |
| |
| - GenericLinkService now encodes and decodes the NDNLPv2 CongestionMark field (:issue:`3797`) |
| |
| Updates |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Allow strategies to pick outgoing Interest. The outgoing Interest pipeline and Strategy API |
| have changed to give strategies an opportunity to pick an outgoing Interest that matches |
| the Interest table entry (:issue:`1756`) |
| |
| - Refactor localhop restriction handling in strategies. Previously available |
| ``canForwardToLegacy`` function no longer checks scope. Strategies using this function shall |
| use ``wouldViolateScope`` separately (:issue:`3841`, :issue:`1756`) |
| |
| - Strategy instances are no longer shared among different StrategyChoice entries. Each instance can |
| be individually configured using the arguments supplied during construction (as part of strategy |
| name) (:issue:`3868`) |
| |
| - Change ``strategy-choice/set`` response codes. Specifically, if the specified strategy name |
| cannot be instantiated, the command responds with 404 status code (:issue:`3868`) |
| |
| - Add ability to instantiate strategy of next higher version if the requested version is not |
| available (:issue:`3868`) |
| |
| - Refactor face management system. The function of the monolithic ``FaceManager`` class has |
| been split among the newly introduced ``FaceSystem`` class and the various protocol |
| factories. FaceSystem class is the entry point of NFD's face system and owns the concrete |
| protocol factories, created based on ``face_system`` section of the NFD configuration |
| file. (:issue:`3904`) |
| |
| - Switch to use ``faces/update`` instead of legacy ``faces/enable-local-control`` to enable |
| local fields (:issue:`3734`) |
| |
| - Add support for permanent persistency in TcpTransport (:issue:`3167`) |
| |
| - Add missing and refactor existing registry implementations for replaceable modules, including |
| strategy, protocol factory, CS policy, and unsolicited data policy (:issue:`2181`, :issue:`3148`, |
| :issue:`3868`, :issue:`3904`) |
| |
| - Refactor and extend ``nfdc`` tool. The tool is now a universal instrument to query and |
| change NFD state (:issue:`3780`) |
| |
| - Refactor implementation of ``ndn-autoconfig`` tool (:issue:`2426`) |
| |
| Bugfixes |
| ^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Fix RTT calculation in ASF strategy (:issue:`3829`) |
| |
| - Ensure that ``pit::Entry`` checks that Interest matches entry when updating in/out-record to |
| prevent strategies to incorrectly pick an incorrect Interest (:issue:`1756`) |
| |
| - Fix uncaught ``bad_lexical_cast`` exception in ``Network::isValidCidr()`` (:issue:`3858`) |
| |
| - Fix incorrect output of ``operator<<`` for Rib class (:issue:`3423`) |
| |
| - Make FIB and StrategyChoice iterators default-constructible (:issue:`3882`) |
| |
| - Ensure that ``nfd-status-http-server`` returns error code (HTTP/504) when NFD is not running |
| (:issue:`3863`) |
| |
| - A number of fixes in documentation |
| |
| Deprecations |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Deprecate ``nfd-status`` command line options. Use ``nfdc`` subcommands, such as ``nfdc face |
| list`` and ``nfdc status report xml``. The argument-less ``nfd-status`` is retained as an |
| alias of ``nfdc status report`` (:issue:`3780`) |
| |
| Deletions |
| ^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Delete deprecated ``Strategy::sendInterest`` overload and ``violatesScope`` (:issue:`1756`, |
| :issue:`3841`) |
| |
| - StrategyChoice no longer supports installed instances. All strategies should be registered |
| in the strategy registry (:issue:`3868`) |
| |
| - ``Strategy::getName``. Instead, Strategy API introduces ``getStrategyName`` (strategy program |
| name, including version component) and ``getInstanceName`` (strategy name assigned during |
| strategy instance instantiation, including version and optional extra parameter components) |
| (:issue:`3868`) |
