* Reject faces/create request if the face already exists
- RIB updates to follow API changes in ndn-cxx library (:issue:`3903`)
- Switch to V2 security framework (:issue:`4089`)
- Use ``NetworkMonitor``, ``NetworkInterface``, ``lp::isLessSevere`` from ndn-cxx
(:issue:`4021`, :issue:`4228`)
- Move ``Channel`` and subclasses into ``nfd::face`` namespace
- Improve consistency of logging in channels (:issue:`2561`)
- Change ``ndn-autoconfig`` tool to register ``/`` prefix instead of ``/ndn`` (:issue:`4201`)
- Documentation improvements
Bugfixes
^^^^^^^^
- 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`)
- Decode ``CachePolicy`` without requiring ``allowLocalFields`` (:issue:`3966`)
- Fix support for link-local IPv6 addresses (:issue:`1428`)
- Fix potential misaligned memory accesses (:issue:`4191`)
Removals
^^^^^^^^
- Deprecated code, including ``faces/enable-local-control`` and ``faces/disable-local-control``
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
(:issue:`4189`)
