NFD Release Notes
=================
-NFD version 0.3.4 (changes since version 0.3.3)
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-Release date: August 31, 2015
-
-New features:
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- Boolean Face property IsOnDemand has been replaced with multistate FacePersistency
- property (:issue:`2989`, :issue:`3018`): persistent (Face exists as long as there are no
- system or socket errors), on-demand (Face is removed after inactivity period), and
- permanent (Face exists unless explicitly destroyed by the management).
-
- Currently, only UDP faces are allowed to be permanent. However, management interface to
- create UDP permanent faces or switch UDP to permanent state will be available in the
- next release (:issue:`2991`).
-
-- Least Recently Used policy for Content Store (:issue:`2219`)
-
- Currently, changing the policy requires a minor change in NFD source code.
- Configuration interface is coming in the next release (:issue:`3148`)
-
-
-Updates and bug fixes:
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- Update of NDN Essential Tools to version 0.2 `<https://github.com/named-data/ndn-tools>`__
- with code improvements and the following new tools:
-
- * PIB service to manage the public information of keys and publish certificates
- (:issue:`3018`)
- * A Wireshark dissector for NDN packets (:issue:`3092`)
-
-- RibManager constructor now accepts KeyChain as a parameter, preparing it for simplifying
- implementation with the new ``ndn::Dispatcher`` class (:issue:`2390`)
-

-
-****************************************************************************
-
-NFD version 0.1.0
------------------
-
-Release date: May 7, 2014
-
-This is an incomplete list of features that are implemented in NFD version 0.1.0.
-
-- **Packet Format**
-
- + `NDN-TLV <http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/>`_
- + LocalControlHeader, to allow apps to set outgoing face and learn incoming face.
-
-- **Faces**
-
- + Unix stream socket
- + UDP unicast
- + UDP multicast
- + TCP
- + Ethernet, currently without fragmentation.
-
- .. note::
- Ethernet support will not work properly on Linux kernels with TPACKET_V3 flexible
- buffer implementation (>= 3.2.0) and libpcap >= 1.5.0 (e.g., Ubuntu Linux 14.04).
- Refer to `Issue 1551 <http://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1511>`_ for more
- detail and implementation progress.
-
-- **Management**
-
- + Use of signed Interests as commands, with authentication and authorization.
- + Face management
- + FIB management
- + Per-namespace strategy selection
- + NFD status publishing
- + Notification to authorized apps of internal events, including Face creation and destruction.
-
-- **Tables and forwarding pipelines** support most Interest/Data processing, including
- selectors.
-
-- **RIB Management** that runs as a separate process, ``nrd``. It supports basic prefix
- registration by applications, but no flags yet.
-
-- **Strategies**
-
- + ``broadcast``
- + ``best-route``
- + ``ncc``: based on ccnx 0.7 for experimentation
- + ``client-control``: authorized application can directly control Interest forwarding
-
-- **Name-based scoping**
-
- + ``/localhost``: communication only within localhost using "local" Faces
- (UnixStreamFace, LocalTcpFace). NFD will strictly enforce this scope for Interests
- and Data packets
- + ``/localhop``: one-hop communication (e.g., if at least one incoming or outgoing Face
- in PIT entry is non-local, the Interest cannot be forwarded to any non-local Face)
-
-- **Support configuration file**, which is in the Boost INFO format.
-
-- **Applications**
-
- + Tools to discover hubs on NDN testbed.
- + peek/poke and traffic generators for testing and debugging.
- + ``nfdc``, a command-line tool to configure NFD.
- + ``nfd-status``, a command-line tool to query NFD status.
- + ``nfd-status-http-server``, which reads the NFD status and publishes over HTTP.
-
-
-Planned Functions and Features for Next Releases
-------------------------------------------------
-
-- NACK
- A packet sent back by a producer or a router to signal the unavailability of a requested
- Data packet. The protocol specification for NACK is in progress.
-
-- New strategies
- Additional strategies, including self-learning that populates the FIB by observing
- Interest and Data exchange.
-
-- Hop-by-hop Interest limit mechanism
- For congestion control
-
-- Face enhancements
- Add faces for new underlying protocols such as WiFi direct.
- Introduce the concept of "permanent faces" that can survive socket errors.
- Design a new hop-by-hop header that supports fragmentation, reliability improvement, etc.
-
-- Tables
- Experiment and evaluate different data structures and algorithms.
-
-- RIB management
- Move to more scalable data structures and support all flags in prefix registrations.
