+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.
+
+- Tunnel management
+    For hub nodes to authenticate incoming tunnel requests and maintain the tunnels.
+
+- Extensible name-based scoping
+    Configurable organization-based scoping

+  * ``ndn-dissect``: an NDN packet format inspector. It reads zero or more NDN packets from
+    either an input file or the standard input, and displays the Type-Length-Value (TLV)
+    structure of those packets on the standard output.
+
+Updates and bug fixes:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+- Avoid loopback new Interest in AccessStrategy (:issue:`2831`)
+
+- Simplified implementation of ``nfd-status`` using SegmentFetcher utility class (:issue:`2456`)
+
+Deprecated:

+
+- ``ndn-tlv-peek`` and ``ndn-tlv-poke`` command-line tools: use ``ndnpeek`` and ``ndnpoke``
+  programs from NDN Essential Tools repository `<https://github.com/named-data/ndn-tools>`__.

+NFD version 0.3.4
+-----------------
+
+Release date: August 31, 2015
+
+Changes since version 0.3.3:
+
+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`)
+
+- Fix HTML rendering of nfd-status-http-server output in some browsers (:issue:`3019`)
+
+- Enable automatic re-creation of multicast faces when network connectivity changes
+  (:issue:`2460`)
+
+- Enhance exception throwing with Boost Exception library (:issue:`2541`)
+
+Deprecated:
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- BroadcastStrategy (``/localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast``) renamed as MulticastStrategy
+  (``/localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast``) (:issue:`3011`)
+
+Upcoming features (partially finished in development branches):
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- NDNLPv2 (http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/NDNLPv2, :issue:`2520`,
+  :issue:`2879`, :issue:`2763`, :issue:`2883`, :issue:`2841`, :issue:`2866`)

+NFD version 0.4.0
+-----------------
+
+Release date: TBD
+
+.. note::
+   Version 0.4.0 introduces several breaking changes to API and wire format of management protocols
+
+Changes since version 0.3.4:
+
+New features:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- **(breaking change)** Refactored implementation of face system (:issue:`3088`,
+  :issue:`3104`, :issue:`3165`, :issue:`3168`, :issue:`3225`, :issue:`3226`)
+
+  The abstraction to send/receive NDN packets has been split into Transport, LinkService, and Face:
+
+  * *Transport* provides delivery of the data blocks over specific underlying channels
+    (raw ethernet packets, unicast/multicast UDP datagrams, TCP and WebSocket streams)
+
+    Implemented: :NFD:`UnixStreamTransport`, :NFD:`UnicastUdpTransport`, :NFD:`MulticastUdpTransport`.
+
+  * *LinkService* provides an "adaptation" layer to translate between NDN packets and data
+    blocks communicated through Transport.  For example, LinkService can provide packet
+    fragmentation and reassembly services.
+
+    Implemented: :NFD:`GenericLinkService`
+
+  * *Face* provides combines Transport and LinkServices, providing high-level interface to work
+    with Interest/Data/Nack packets inside NFD.
+
+  .. note::
+     This feature replaces support for signaling between local applications and NFD from
+     LocalControlHeader with NDNLPv2 protocol.  If your application uses
+     LocalControlHeader features, it must be updated to use the new protocol (e.g., update
+     to use ndn-cxx >= 0.4.0)
+
+- Support for NDNLPv2 (http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/NDNLPv2,
+  :issue:`2520`, :issue:`2763`, :issue:`2841`)
+
+  * Network NACK (:issue:`2883`)
+
+- Networking NACK in pipelines and best-route strategy (:issue:`3156`)
+
+- Refactored implementation of NFD management (:issue:`2200`, :issue:`2107`)
+
+- Interest forwarding processes Link included in interest packets (:issue:`3034`)
+
+  .. note::
+     This feature requires proper defintion of new ``tables.network_region`` section in
+     the NFD config file (:issue:`3159`)
+
+- Full support for UDP permanent faces (:issue:`2993`, :issue:`2989`, :issue:`3018`)
+
+Updates and bug fixes:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Display extended information for fatal NFD errors (:issue:`2541`)
+
+- Compilation fixes for clang-700.0.72 (Apple LLVM 7.0.0) (:issue:`3209`)
+
+- Properly handle exception from NetworkMonitor when the platform doesn't support it
+  (:issue:`3195`)
+
+Deprecated:
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- BroadcastStrategy (``/localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast``) renamed as MulticastStrategy
+  (``/localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast``) (:issue:`3011`)
+
+Planned features for future releases:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Improvements and extension of NDNLPv2 support
+
+  * New transports
+  * New link service implementation, including support for fragmentation and assembly
+
+- Improved support for automatic prefix propagation (:issue:`3211`, :issue:`2413`)
