+NLSR version 0.1.0 (initial release)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
-Version 0.1.0 is the initial release of NLSR, a routing protocol for NDN.
+Release date: August 25, 2014
 
-The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to
-populate `NFD`_’s FIB. NLSR calculates the routing table using link-state
-or hyperbolic routing and produces multiple faces for each reachable
-name prefix in a single authoritative domain.
