+NFD version 0.6.3
+-----------------
+
+Release date: September 18, 2018
+
+Note that this is the last release that encodes to `NDN packet format version 0.2.1
+<https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.2.1/>`__. A future release will continue to
+decode v0.2.1 format, but will encode to `v0.3 format
+<https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/>`__.
+
+The build requirements have been upgraded to gcc >= 5.3 or clang >= 3.6, boost >= 1.58,
+openssl >= 1.0.2. This effectively drops support for all versions of Ubuntu older than 16.04
+that use distribution-provided compilers and packages.
+
+The compilation now uses the C++14 standard.
+
+New features

+
+- Allow MTU of datagram faces to be overridden (:issue:`4005`, :issue:`4789`)

+
+Improvements and bug fixes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Make LRU the default CS replacement policy (:issue:`4728`)
+
+- Refactor logging to use ndn-cxx logging framework (:issue:`4580`)
+
+- Directly use ``asio::ip::address::from_string`` instead of ndn-cxx provided helpers
+  (Boost.Asio >= 1.58 includes necessary fixes)
+
+- Avoid use of deprecated {get,set}FinalBlockId
+
