ndn-cxx version 0.6.3
---------------------
Release date: September 18, 2018
The build requirements have been upgraded to gcc >= 5.3 or clang >= 3.6, boost >= 1.58,
openssl >= 1.0.2. This effectively drops support for all versions of Ubuntu older than 16.04
that use distribution-provided compilers and packages.
The compilation now uses the C++14 standard.
New features:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- More support for `NDN packet format version
0.3 <https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/>`__ (:issue:`4527`)
- Allow applications to declare a default ``CanBePrefix`` setting (:issue:`4581`)
- Accommodate typed name components in ``Name::getSuccessor`` (:issue:`4570`)
- Support Parameters element (:issue:`4658`)
- Recognize alternative type representations in URI syntax (:issue:`4690`)
- Introduce ``ParametersSha256DigestComponent`` (:issue:`4658`, :issue:`4570`)
- Prefix announcement object (:issue:`4650`)
- MTU element in ``ControlParameters`` and ``FaceStatus`` (:issue:`4005`)
- Enable congestion control features in ``SegmentFetcher`` (:issue:`4364`)
- ``_block`` literal operator (:issue:`4722`)
- Add official support for CentOS 7 (:issue:`4610`)
Improvements and bug fixes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Fix a segfault in ``Face::satisfyPendingInterests`` when ``Face::put`` is
called in DataCallback (:issue:`4596`)
- Allow specifying passphrase for ndnsec import/export on the command line (:issue:`4633`)
- Fix bug preventing customization of KeyChain's TPM on macOS (:issue:`4297`)
- Fix bug with handling Sha256-signed Command Interests (:issue:`4635`)
- Eliminate selector usage in ``SegmentFetcher`` (:issue:`4555`)
- Improvements in ``netlink`` message processing
- Gracefully handle ``NetworkMonitor`` backend initialization failure (:issue:`4668`)
- Add support 224-bit and 521-bit NIST elliptic curves, add support for SHA-3 (with
openssl >= 1.1.1-pre1), and forbid RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits in security helpers
- Improve and simplify code with modern C++ features
- Properly declare move constructors
- Improve error handling
- Improve test cases
- Correct and improve documentation
Deprecated
~~~~~~~~~~
- ``SegmentFetcher::fetch()`` static functions in favor of ``start()`` (:issue:`4464`)
- ``ndn::ip::address{,V6}FromString`` as Boost.Asio >= 1.58 has proper implementation of
``addressFromString``
- Selectors (:issue:`4527`)
NDN Packet Format v0.3 replaces Selectors with ``CanBePrefix`` and ``MustBeFresh`` elements.
``CanBePrefix`` and ``MustBeFresh`` are currently mapped to the closest v0.2 semantics and
encoded as selectors.
- ``Data::get/setFinalBlockId()`` in favor of ``Data::get/setFinalBlock()``
Removed
~~~~~~~
- Dependency on Boost.Regex in favor of ``std::regex``
