+NLSR version 0.1.0 (initial release)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Release date: August 25, 2014
+
+The main design goal of NLSR is to provide a routing protocol to populate `NFD's
+<http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/>`_ RIB.  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.
+
+**Included features**:
+
+- Advertise availability of content through the configured router
+
+- Use `ChronoSync <https://github.com/named-data/ChronoSync>`_ to synchronize routers' LSA sequence numbers and Interest/Data to retrieve LSAs
+
+- Produce a list of ranked forwarding options for each name prefix to facilitate NDN's adaptive forwarding strategies
+
+- Configure maximum number of faces per prefix in NFD’s RIB
+
+- Set up NFD tunnels to neighbors automatically and maintain the tunnels to neighbors
+
+- Provide two routing protocols:
+
+  + Link State routing: calculate route cost based on link costs
+  + Hyperbolic routing: calculate route cost based on hyperbolic coordinates
+
+- Use a hierarchical trust model for routing within a single administrative domain
+
+- Keep NFD’s RIB updated on failure and recovery
