NFD version 0.3.0
-----------------
Release date: February 2, 2015
Changes since version 0.2.0:
New features:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- **Build**
+ The code now requires C++11. The minimum supported gcc version is 4.6, as earlier versions
do not have proper support for C++11 features.
- **Faces**
+ Enable detection of WebSocket connection failures using ping/pong messages (:issue:`1903`)
+ In EthernetFace:
* Avoid putting the NIC in promiscuous mode if possible (:issue:`1278`)
* Report packets dropped by the kernel if debug is enabled (:issue:`2441`)
* Integrate NDNLP fragmentation (:issue:`1209`)
- **Forwarding**
+ Strategy versioning (:issue:`1893`)
+ New Dead Nonce List table to supplement PIT for loop detection (:issue:`1953`)
+ Abstract retransmission suppression logic (:issue:`2377`)
+ New forwarding strategy for access router (:issue:`1999`)
- **Management**
+ Add config file-based strategy selection (:issue:`2053`)
The sample config file now includes strategy selection for ``/``, ``/localhost``,
``/localhost/nfd``, and ``/ndn/broadcast`` namespaces as follows:
::
tables
{
...
strategy_choice
{
/ /localhost/nfd/strategy/best-route
/localhost /localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast
/localhost/nfd /localhost/nfd/strategy/best-route
/ndn/broadcast /localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast
}
}
+ Implement Query Operation in FaceManager (:issue:`1993`)
+ FaceManager now responds with producer-generated NACK when query is invalid (:issue:`1993`)
+ Add functionality for automatic remote prefix registration (:issue:`2056`)
+ Only canonical FaceUri are allowed in faces/create commands (:issue:`1910`)
- **Tables**
+ StrategyInfoHost can now store multiple StrategyInfo of distinct types (:issue:`2240`)
+ Enable iteration over PIT and CS entries (:issue:`2339`)
+ Allow predicate to be specified in Measurements::findLongestPrefixMatch (:issue:`2314`)
+ Calculate the implicit digest of Data packets in CS only when necessary (:issue:`1706`)
- **Tools**
+ Publish ``/localhop/ndn-autoconf/routable-prefixes`` from ``ndn-autoconfig-server``
(:issue:`1954`)
+ Display detailed NFD software verion in ``nfd-status-http-server`` and ``nfd-status``
(:issue:`1916`)
+ ``nfdc`` now accepts FaceUri in all commands (:issue:`1995`)
+ Add daemon mode for ``ndn-autoconfig`` to re-run detection when connectivity changes
(:issue:`2417`)
- **Core**
+ New scheduler::ScopedEventId class to automatically handle scheduled event lifetime
(:issue:`2295`)
