| Release date: August 25, 2014 |
| |
| Changes since version 0.1.0: |
| |
| - **Documentation** |
| |
| + `"NFD Developer's Guide" by NFD authors |
| <http://named-data.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/NFD-developer-guide.pdf>`_ that |
| explains NFD's internals including the overall design, major modules, their |
| implementation, and their interactions |
| |
| + New detailed instructions on how to enable auto-start of NFD using OSX ``launchd`` |

| |
| + Fix issue of not properly canceling route expiration during processing of ``unregister`` |
| command (:issue:`1902`) |
| |
| + Enable periodic clean up of route entries that refer to non-existing faces (:issue:`1875`) |
| |

| |
| + Extended functionality of ``nfd-status`` |
| |
| * ``-x`` to output in XML format, see :ref:`nfd-status xml schema` |
