| 2 | ----------------- |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Release date: January 25, 2017 |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Changes since version 0.5.0 |
| 7 | |
| 8 | New features |
| 9 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - In ndn-autoconfig, add the Find (geographically) Closest Hub stage (NDN-FCH) using a |
| 12 | `deployed service <http://ndn-fch.named-data.net>`__ (:issue:`3800`) |
| 13 | |
| 14 | - Add ``face_system.ether.whitelist`` and ``face_system.ether.blacklist`` config options for |
| 15 | Ethernet multicast faces creation (:issue:`1712`) |
| 16 | |
| 17 | - Add ``face_system.udp.whitelist`` and ``face_system.udp.blacklist`` config options for |
| 18 | UDP multicast faces creation (:issue:`1712`) |
| 19 | |
| 20 | - Introduce ``tables.cs_policy`` config option to configure cache policy (policy change requires |
| 21 | restart of NFD) (:issue:`3148`) |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - Introduce strategy parameters that can be specified when selecting a strategy for a |
| 24 | namespace (:issue:`3868`) |
| 25 | |
| 26 | - Initial implementation of route re-advertise feature. This release only includes supporting |
| 27 | classes. Full implementation of this feature is expected to be introduced in the next |
| 28 | release (:issue:`3818`). |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - Introduce ``FACE_EVENT_UP`` and ``FACE_EVENT_DOWN`` notifications (:issue:`3794`, :issue:`3818`) |
| 31 | |
| 32 | - GenericLinkService now encodes and decodes the NDNLPv2 CongestionMark field (:issue:`3797`) |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Updates |
| 35 | ^^^^^^^ |
| 36 | |
| 37 | - Allow strategies to pick outgoing Interest. The outgoing Interest pipeline and Strategy API |
| 38 | have changed to give strategies an opportunity to pick an outgoing Interest that matches |
| 39 | the Interest table entry (:issue:`1756`) |
| 40 | |
| 41 | - Refactor localhop restriction handling in strategies. Previously available |
| 42 | ``canForwardToLegacy`` function no longer checks scope. Strategies using this function shall |
| 43 | use ``wouldViolateScope`` separately (:issue:`3841`, :issue:`1756`) |
| 44 | |
| 45 | - Strategy instances are no longer shared among different StrategyChoice entries. Each instance can |
| 46 | be individually configured using the arguments supplied during construction (as part of strategy |
| 47 | name) (:issue:`3868`) |
| 48 | |
| 49 | - Change ``strategy-choice/set`` response codes. Specifically, if the specified strategy name |
| 50 | cannot be instantiated, the command responds with 404 status code (:issue:`3868`) |
| 51 | |
| 52 | - Add ability to instantiate strategy of next higher version if the requested version is not |
| 53 | available (:issue:`3868`) |
| 54 | |
| 55 | - Refactor face management system. The function of the monolithic ``FaceManager`` class has |
| 56 | been split among the newly introduced ``FaceSystem`` class and the various protocol |
| 57 | factories. FaceSystem class is the entry point of NFD's face system and owns the concrete |
| 58 | protocol factories, created based on ``face_system`` section of the NFD configuration |
| 59 | file. (:issue:`3904`) |
| 60 | |
| 61 | - Switch to use ``faces/update`` instead of legacy ``faces/enable-local-control`` to enable |
| 62 | local fields (:issue:`3734`) |
| 63 | |
| 64 | - Add support for permanent persistency in TcpTransport (:issue:`3167`) |
| 65 | |
| 66 | - Add missing and refactor existing registry implementations for replaceable modules, including |
| 67 | strategy, protocol factory, CS policy, and unsolicited data policy (:issue:`2181`, :issue:`3148`, |
| 68 | :issue:`3868`, :issue:`3904`) |
| 69 | |
| 70 | - Refactor and extend ``nfdc`` tool. The tool is now a universal instrument to query and |
| 71 | change NFD state (:issue:`3780`) |
| 72 | |
| 73 | - Refactor implementation of ``ndn-autoconfig`` tool (:issue:`2426`) |
| 74 | |
| 75 | Bugfixes |
| 76 | ^^^^^^^^ |
| 77 | |
| 78 | - Fix RTT calculation in ASF strategy (:issue:`3829`) |
| 79 | |
| 80 | - Ensure that ``pit::Entry`` checks that Interest matches entry when updating in/out-record to |
| 81 | prevent strategies to incorrectly pick an incorrect Interest (:issue:`1756`) |
| 82 | |
| 83 | - Fix uncaught ``bad_lexical_cast`` exception in ``Network::isValidCidr()`` (:issue:`3858`) |
| 84 | |
| 85 | - Fix incorrect output of ``operator<<`` for Rib class (:issue:`3423`) |
| 86 | |
| 87 | - Make FIB and StrategyChoice iterators default-constructible (:issue:`3882`) |
| 88 | |
| 89 | - Ensure that ``nfd-status-http-server`` returns error code (HTTP/504) when NFD is not running |
| 90 | (:issue:`3863`) |
| 91 | |
| 92 | - A number of fixes in documentation |
| 93 | |
| 94 | Deprecations |
| 95 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 96 | |
| 97 | - Deprecate ``nfd-status`` command line options. Use ``nfdc`` subcommands, such as ``nfdc face |
| 98 | list`` and ``nfdc status report xml``. The argument-less ``nfd-status`` is retained as an |
| 99 | alias of ``nfdc status report`` (:issue:`3780`) |
| 100 | |
| 101 | Deletions |
| 102 | ^^^^^^^^^ |
| 103 | |
| 104 | - Delete deprecated ``Strategy::sendInterest`` overload and ``violatesScope`` (:issue:`1756`, |
| 105 | :issue:`3841`) |
| 106 | |
| 107 | - StrategyChoice no longer supports installed instances. All strategies should be registered |
| 108 | in the strategy registry (:issue:`3868`) |
| 109 | |
| 110 | - ``Strategy::getName``. Instead, Strategy API introduces ``getStrategyName`` (strategy program |
| 111 | name, including version component) and ``getInstanceName`` (strategy name assigned during |
| 112 | strategy instance instantiation, including version and optional extra parameter components) |
| 113 | (:issue:`3868`) |
