+Mini-NDN version 0.1.0 (initial release)
+----------------------------------------
+
+Release date: July 15, 2015
+
+Mini-NDN is a lightweight networking emulation tool that enables
+testing, experimentation, and research on the NDN platform. Based on
+Mininet, Mini-NDN uses the NDN libraries, NFD, NLSR, and tools released
+by the `NDN project <http://named-data.net/codebase/platform/>`__ to
+emulate an NDN network on a single system.
+
+**Included features**:
+
+-  Run a complete NDN network on a single system
+
+-  Automatic configuration of NLSR to provide a routable NDN network
+
+-  Supports user created NDN applications
+
+-  Create a topology using the included Mini-NDN Edit GUI application
+
+-  Allows individual configuration of NFD and NLSR parameters for each
+   node
+
+-  Provides an experiment management framework for easy creation of
+   custom networking experiments
+
+-  Uses a simple topology file format to define hosts, links, and
+   configuration values
+
+-  Configure network link parameters including bandwidth, delay, and
+   loss rate
+
+-  Includes a pre-configured topology file to replicate the NDN testbed
