| NFD version 24.07 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| *Release date: July 28, 2024* |
| |
| Important changes and new features |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - The build dependencies have been increased as follows: |
| |
| - GCC >= 9.3 or Clang >= 7.0 are strongly *recommended* on Linux; GCC 8.x is also known |
| to work but is not officially supported |
| - Xcode 13 or later is *recommended* on macOS; older versions may still work but are not |
| officially supported |
| - Boost >= 1.71.0 is *required* on all platforms |
| |
| - Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble), Debian 12 (Bookworm), and macOS 14 (Sonoma) are now officially supported |
| |
| - Added an official Dockerfile to the repository. From this Dockerfile, the following images are |
| currently published to the GitHub container registry: |
| |
| - `named-data/nfd <https://github.com/named-data/NFD/pkgs/container/nfd>`__ |
| - `named-data/nfd-autoreg <https://github.com/named-data/NFD/pkgs/container/nfd-autoreg>`__ |
| - `named-data/nfd-status-http-server <https://github.com/named-data/NFD/pkgs/container/nfd-status-http-server>`__ |
| |
| All images are available for *linux/amd64* and *linux/arm64* platforms. |
| |
| - The default Unix socket path changed to ``/run/nfd/nfd.sock`` on Linux and to |
| ``/var/run/nfd/nfd.sock`` on all other platforms (:issue:`5304`) |
| |
| - Introduced a new strategy trigger :nfd:`onInterestLoop <Strategy::onInterestLoop>` that is |
| invoked when a duplicate Interest is received. The default behavior (sending a Nack packet) |
| remains unchanged except for the Multicast strategy, which will now suppress the Nack |
| transmission in this case (:issue:`5278`) |
| |
| - Multiple updates to the ASF forwarding strategy to more closely adhere to the behavior |
| described in the published technical report (:issue:`5310`) |
| |
| - The ASF strategy gained support for Nack propagation (:issue:`5311`) |
| |
| - The default port number of ``nfd-status-http-server`` changed to 6380 |
| |
| Improvements and bug fixes |

| multicast faces and :nfd:`UnixStreamChannel` (:issue:`5030`, :issue:`5297`) |
| |
