- Require OpenSSL (:issue:`2375`)
**New features**:
- Add nlsrc command-line tool (:issue:`1834`)
- Advertise/Withdraw name prefixes at runtime (:issue:`1834`)
- Assign zero cost to hyperbolic direct neighbors (:issue:`1975`)
- Only hyperbolic costs are adjusted before registering (:issue:`1974`)
- Add ability to specify different logging levels (:issue:`1935`)
- Add LSDB dataset publishers (:issue:`2280`)
- Add LSDB dataset tlv abstractions (:issue:`2280`)
- Allow zero cost neighbors for hyperbolic routing table calculation (:issue:`1982`)
- Faces are now created with canonical Face URI (:issue:`1911`)
- Add configurable router event intervals (:issue:`2071`)
- Add router-dead-interval configuration setting (:issue:`1878`)
- Add log formatting specified by log4cxx configuration file (:issue:`1950`)
- Face URIs in configuration file are checked for validity on load (:issue:`2070`)
- Configuration variables with default values are now optional (:issue:`1949`)
- Recalculate routing table after face destroy event (:issue:`2635`)
- Add Travis-CI build script
**Code changes**:

- Remove use of outdated namespace ``ndn::Tlv`` (:issue:`2079`)
- Remove use of deprecated ``ndn::nfd::Controller(Face&)`` constructor (:issue:`2133`)
- Routing update publishing is abstracted to SyncLogicHandler (:issue:`2289`)
- Make ConfParameter variable types consistent with min and max values (:issue:`2084`)
- Replace LSA string literals with constants (:issue:`2310`)
- Subscribe to FaceMonitor notifications using connect (:issue:`2350`)
- Log exceptions thrown in event loop
- Change ``ndn::ptr_lib::shared_ptr`` to ``std::shared_ptr`` (:issue:`2110`)

- Update Jenkins-CI build scripts
**Bug fixes**:
- Fix python3 build error (:issue:`1956`)
- Fix typos in nlsr.conf security section (:issue:`1985`)
- Stop SyncLogicHandler from fetching a routers own LSAs (:issue:`2005`)

- Stop LSDB from retrieving and out of date LSA when a new one is detected (:issue:`1987`)
- Correct mistakes in documentation
- Correct bitmask used to copy Name LSA sequence number (:issue:`2323`)
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 NFDs 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 NFDs RIB updated on failure and recovery
