+- In ASF strategy add check for FaceInfo existence before using it (:issue:`3968`)
+
+- Avoid setting TransportState to FAILED if connection is closed cleanly (:issue:`4099`)
+
+- Fix regression ``ndn-autoconfig`` continue proceeding with existing face (:issue:`4008`)

+
+Deletions
+^^^^^^^^^

+ management commands (:issue:`3988`)
+
+- ``NetworkInterfaceInfo`` class, replaced by ``ndn::net::NetworkInterface`` from ndn-cxx
+ (:issue:`4021`)
+
+- Legacy nfdc and nfd-status invocations
+
+ The following legacy nfdc sub-commands are deleted, use the corresponding ``nfdc face ...``,
+ ``nfdc route ...``, ``nfdc strategy ...`` commands:

+ * ``register``
+ * ``unregister``
+ * ``create``
+ * ``destroy``
+ * ``set-strategy``
+ * ``unset-strategy``
+ * ``add-nexthop``
+ * ``remove nexthop``
+
+- ``nfd-status`` no longer accepts command line arguments (:issue:`4198`). Individual datasets
+ can be requested using ``nfdc channel list``, ``nfdc face list``, ``nfdc fib list``, ``nfdc
+ route list``, and ``nfdc strategy list`` commands.
+
+- ``nfdId`` from ``nfdc status`` output (:issue:`4089`)
+
+- Prohibited endpoint set, making it possible to create faces that connect NFD to itself
