+ndn-cxx version 0.1.0
+---------------------
+
+Release date: May 7, 2014
+
+Version 0.1.0 is the initial release of ndn-cxx, an NDN C++ library with eXperimental
+eXtensions.
+
+Originally based on `ndn-cpp library <https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cpp>`_ the ndn-cxx
+library adopts a slightly different design philosophy (including an extensive use of Boost
+libraries to facilitate development, as well as the use of Crypto++ library to support
+cryptographic operations), and includes a number of extensions that aim to simplify NDN
+application development.
+
+The current features include:
+
+- **Base**
+
+  + Fully asynchronous, event-driven communication model, which is implemented using `Boost.Asio
+    <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html>`_
+  + Single-threaded, but thread-safe Face operations
+
+      A single Face object can be safely used in multiple threads to express Interests and
+      publish Data packets
+
+  + Explicit time management for NDN operations using `Boost.Chrono
+    <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/chrono.html>`_
+  + Simplified and extended `NDN API <doxygen/annotated.html>`_
+  + Extensive set of unit-tests based on `Boost.Test framework
+    <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html>`_
+
+    - Continuous integration using an in-house installation of Jenkins build bots and the
+      hosted `Travis CI <https://travis-ci.org/named-data/ndn-cxx>`_ continuous
+      integration service compile and verify correctness of the library for each commit
+
+- **Wire format**
+
+  + Full support of `NDN-TLV packet format v0.1 <http://named-data.net/doc/NDN-TLV/0.1/>`_
+  + Pure C++ implementation of wire encoding/decoding with simple access to wire format
+    of all NDN packet abstractions via ``wireEncode`` and ``wireDecode`` methods
+
+      In many cases, NDN packet abstractions are just "indices" to the wire format
+
+- **Communication with the forwarder**
+
+  + Enable connecting to local forwarder via UNIX and TCP transports and to remote
+    forwarders using TCP transport
+  + Full support for communication with `Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon (NFD)
+    <https://github.com/named-data/NFD>`_
+
+    - Full support for `NFD management protocols
+      <http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/Management>`_ to NFD status
+      information, create and manage NFD Faces, receive NFD Face status change
+      notifications, update StrategyChoice for namespaces, and manage routes in RIB
+    - Support for `LocalControlHeader
+      <http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/LocalControlHeader>`_ to implement
+      special NDN applications that need low-level control of NDN packet forwarding
+
+- **Security support**
+
+  + A set of security primitives to allowing implementation of secure NDN applications in
+    a simplified manner
+
+    - **KeyChain**: provides simple interfaces of packet signing, and key and certificate
+      management
+    - **ValidatorConfig**: validator that implements trust model defined in a configuration
+      file
+    - **CommandInterestGenerator** and **CommandInterestValidator**: convenient helpers to produce
+      and validate command interests, while preventing potential replay attacks
+
+  + Several implementations of trusted platform modules to securely manage private keys
+
+    - **SecTpmOsx**: TPM based on OSX KeyChain (OSX-specific)
+    - **SecTpmFile**: TPM that uses file-based access control to protect keys (cross-platform)
+
+  + Extensive set of security command-line tools to manage security identities and certificates
+
+    - Generating private/public keys
+    - Issuing certificates
+    - Exporting/importing identities
+    - Managing default security settings
+
+- **Miscellaneous tools**
+
+  + Scheduler to support delayed time operations
+  + NDN regular expressions
+  + Simple config file to alter various aspects of the library
+  + **tlvdump**: a simple tool to visualize TLV-encoded blocks

+ndn-cxx version 0.2.0
+---------------------
+
+Release date: August 25, 2014
+
+Changes since version 0.1.0:
+
+New features:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- **Base**
+
+  + The license under which the library is released is changed to **Lesser GNU Public
+    License version 3.0**.
+
+  + New ways to use incoming Interest dispatching:
+
+    * New :ndn-cxx:`InterestFilter` abstraction that supports filtering based on name
+      prefixes and regular expressions.
+
+    * Separated :ndn-cxx:`Face::registerPrefix()` and :ndn-cxx:`Face::setInterestFilter()`
+      methods allow distinct operations of registering with the local NDN forwarder and setting
+      up application-specific ``OnInterest`` call dispatch using InterestFilters.
+
+  + Add support for new `NDN naming conventions
+    <http://named-data.net/doc/tech-memos/naming-conventions.pdf>`_ (:issue:`1761`)
+
+- **Security**
+
+  + Add ``type dir`` :ref:`trust-anchor in ValidatorConfig <validator-conf-trust-anchors>`
+    to add all certificates under the specified directory as trust anchors.
+    The new option also allow periodic reloading trust anchors, allowing dynamic trust
+    models.
+
+  + Added support for multiple signature types to :ndn-cxx:`PublicKey`,
+    :ndn-cxx:`SecPublicInfo` abstractions
+
+  + New :ndn-cxx:`SignatureSha256WithEcdsa` signature type
+
+  + Updates in :ndn-cxx:`Signature` data structure to reflect changes in `NDN-TLV spec
+    0.1.1 <http://named-data.net/doc/NDN-TLV/0.1.1/>`_
+
+- **Wire encoding**
+
+  + :ndn-cxx:`Data::getFullName() <getFullName()>` method to get :ndn-cxx:`Data` packet
+    name with implicit digest
+
+  + New :ndn-cxx:`Name::getSuccessor()` method to get name successor (:issue:`1677`)
+
+  + New in-wire refreshing of Interest's nonce (:issue:`1758`)
+
+- **Management**
+
+  + Support for :ndn-cxx:`ChannelStatus`, :ndn-cxx:`StrategyChoice` datasets
+
+  + Defining new common Route Origins for NFD RIB management protocol (:issue:`1719`)
+
+  + New RibEntry and Route data structures for RIB management protocol (:issue:`1764`)
+
+  + Add support for RIB flags for setInterestFilter and registerPrefix (:issue:`1842`)
+
+- **Miscellaneous tools**
+
+  + Introduce :ndn-cxx:`Scheduler::cancelAllEvents` to cancel all previously scheduled events
+    (:issue:`1757`)
+
+  + Introduce :ndn-cxx:`util::EventEmitter`, :ndn-cxx:`util::NotificationSubscriber`,
+    :ndn-cxx:`util::NotificationStream`, and :ndn-cxx:`nfd::FaceMonitor` utility classes
+
+  + Introduce :ndn-cxx:`util::SegmentFetcher` helper class to fetch multi-segmented data
+    (:issue:`1879`)
+
+- **Build**
+
+  + enabled support of precompiled headers for clang and gcc compilers to speed up compilation
+
+Updates and bug fixes:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- **Base**
+
+  + Serialization of socket write operations (:issue:`1707`)
+
+  + Enforcing limit on Interest and Data packet size in :ndn-cxx:`Face::expressInterest` and
+    :ndn-cxx:`Face::put` methods (:issue:`1774`)
+
+  + Cleaning up transport state on communication failure, so Face can try to reconnect
+    in the future.
+
+  + Fix bug with Face::removePendingInterest (:issue:`1917`)
+
+- **Wire encoding**
+
+  + Nonce field is now encoded as 4-byte uint8_t value, as defined by NDN-TLV spec.
+
+  + Optimized Data packet signing
+
+    :ndn-cxx:`KeyChain::sign` method now pre-allocates :ndn-cxx:`EncodingBuffer`, requests
+    unsigned portion of :ndn-cxx:`Data` using ``Data::wireEncode(EncodingBuffer, true)``,
+    and then appends the resulting signature and prepends :ndn-cxx:`Data` packet header.
+    This way there is no extra memory allocation after :ndn-cxx:`Data` packet is signed.
+
+  + Optimized implicit digest calculation in :ndn-cxx:`Interest::matchesData` method
+    (:issue:`1769`)
+
+- **Management**
+
+  + Add link-layer byte counts in FaceStatus data structure (:issue:`1765`)
+
+- **Security**
+
+  + Allow user to explicitly specify the cert name prefix before 'KEY' component in
+    ``ndnsec-certgen``
+
+  + ``SignatureSha256`` has been renamed to :ndn-cxx:`DigestSha256` to conform with
+    `NDN-TLV specification <http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/>`_.
+
+  + Add checking of ``Timestamp`` and ``Nonce`` fields in signed Interest within
+    :ndn-cxx:`ValidatorConfig`
+
+  + Allow validator customization using hooks:
+
+    Sub-classes of :ndn-cxx:`Validator` class can use the following hooks to fine-tune the
+    validation process:
+
+      * :ndn-cxx:`Validator::preCertificateValidation <preCertificateValidation>` to
+        process received certificate before validation.
+      * :ndn-cxx:`Validator::onTimeout <onTimeout>` to process interest timeout
+      * :ndn-cxx:`Validator::afterCheckPolicy <afterCheckPolicy>` to process validation requests.
+
+  + Fix memory issues in :ndn-cxx:`SecPublicInfoSqlite3`
+
+- **Miscellaneous tools**
+
+  + Redefine method for random number generation: ``random::generateWord*`` and
+    ``random::generateSecureWord*`` to generate cryptographically non-secure (fast) and
+    secure (slow) random numbers.
+
+- Other minor fixes and corrections
+
+Deprecated:
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- ``SignatureSha256`` class, use :ndn-cxx:`DigestSha256` instead.
+
+- All :ndn-cxx:`Face` constructors that accept ``shared_ptr<io_service>``.
+
+  Use versions that accept reference to ``io_service`` object.
+
+- ``Face::ioService`` method, use :ndn-cxx:`Face::getIoService` instead.
+
+- :ndn-cxx:`Interest` constructor that accepts name, individual selectors, and individual
+  guiders as constructor parameters.
+
+  Use ``Interest().setX(...).setY(...)`` or use the overload taking ``Selectors``
+
+- ``name::Component::toEscapedString`` method, use :ndn-cxx:`name::Component::toUri` instead.
+
+- ``SecPublicInfo::addPublicKey`` method, use :ndn-cxx:`SecPublicInfo::addKey` instead.
+
+- ``Tlv::ConentType`` constant (typo), use ``Tlv::ContentType`` instead.
+
+- ``CommandInterestGenerator`` and ``CommandInterestValidator`` utility classes.
+  :ndn-cxx:`ValidatorConfig` should be used instead.
+
+Removed:
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- support of ndnd-tlv (only NFD management protocol is supported now)
+
+- ``SecPublicInfoMemory`` and ``SecTpmMemory`` classes that were no longer used
+
+- Removing concept of periodic event from :ndn-cxx:`Scheduler`.
+
+  In applications, periodic events should be just re-scheduled within the callback for
+  single-shot events.

+  Semantically, PartialName abstraction represents an arbitrary sequence of name components,
+  while Name represents an absolute name.  Currently, PartialName is typedef alias to Name, but
+  it can be changed in the future releases.
+
+- Introduce generalized signing API in KeyChain (:issue:`2871`, :issue:`1705`)
+
+  A new API in KeyChain introduces a general interface to sign interest and data packets and
+  supply necessary signing information, such as signing identity name, signing key name, or
+  signing certificate name.  In addition, the supplied signing information can include additional
+  information that signer wants to include in the SignatureInfo of the signed packet.
+
+- Introduce helpers to create SigningInfo for the generalized signing API (:issue:`2922`)
+
+- Sqlite3Statement utility helper that wraps an SQLite3 statements and provide automatic memory
+  cleanup
+
+- Introduce PibSqlite3 based on PibImpl (:issue:`2807`)
+
+- Make public interface of Pib, Identity, and Key as read-only (:issue:`2928`)
+
+- New encoding block helpers to simplify operations with ``std::string`` (:issue:`2951`):
+
+  * ``prependStringBlock``
+  * ``makeStringBlock``
+  * ``readString``
+
+Improvements and bug fixes:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Use C++11 lambda expression and smart pointers in Face implementation (:issue:`2112`)
+
+- Fix compilation failure on OS X 10.10 with cryptopp from MacPorts
+
+- Update client.conf manpage
+
+- Change Name::compare to return negative, zero, or positive integer (instead of strictly -1,
+  0, 1) when the first name comes before the other in canonical ordering, is equal, or comes
+  after (:issue:`2445`)
+
+- IdentityCertificate sets default FreshnessPeriod to 1 hour (:issue:`2872`)
+
+- Unify TPM creation (:issue:`2722`)
+
+- Allow negative start index in Name::getSubName method (:issue:`1962`)
+
+- Improved documentation of PibImpl interfaces (:issue:`2896`, :issue:`2898`)
+
+- Simplify CommandOptions with SigningInfo (:issue:`2893`)
+
+- Refactor internal PIT to use scheduled events (:issue:`1372`, :issue:`2518`)
+
+- Improve structure and documentation of block helpers (:issue:`2951`)
+
+- Declare all move constructors as ``noexcept`` to ensure move operations are used even when a
+  restrictive move operation (`move_if_noexcept`) is used (e.g., in STL library's containers)
+  (:issue:`2966`)
+
+Deprecated:
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- The following ``KeyChain::sign*`` methods, in favor of generalized ``KeyChain::sign(..., SigningInfo)``
+
+  * ``KeyChain::sign(Packet, Name)``
+  * ``KeyChain::sign(uint8_t*, size_t, Name)``
+  * ``KeyChain::signByIdentity(Packet, Name)``
+  * ``KeyChain::signByIdentity(uint8_t*, size_t, Name)``
+  * ``KeyChain::signWithSha256(Data)``
+  * ``KeyChain::signWithSha256(Interest)``
+
+- The following encoding block helper functions:
+
+  * ``nonNegativeIntegerBlock`` (use ``makeNonNegativeIntegerBlock``)
+  * ``prependBooleanBlock`` (use ``prependEmptyBlock``)
+  * ``booleanBlock`` (use ``makeEmptyBlock``)
+  * ``dataBlock`` (use ``makeBinaryBlock``)
+  * ``nestedBlock`` (use ``makeNestedBlock``)
+
+- The following methods of ``CommandOptions`` class, use ``setSigningInfo()`` instead (:issue:`2893`):
+
+  * ``CommandOptions::getSigningParamsKind``
+  * ``CommandOptions::getSigningIdentity``
+  * ``CommandOptions::getSigningCertificate``
+  * ``CommandOptions::setSigningDefault``
+  * ``CommandOptions::setSigningIdentity``
+  * ``CommandOptions::setSigningCertificate``
+
+Removed:
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- Remove SCOPE from Interests and all references to it in the related code (:issue:`2345`)
+
+- Direct FIB management in Face class (:issue:`2533`)
+
+  ``Face::register`` and ``Face::setInterestFilter`` methods now only support NFD RIB management
+  protocol.
+
+  For special needs, FIB management can be implemented using ``nfd::Controller``
+  (``start<FibAddNextHopCommand>``, and ``start<FibRemoveNextHopCommand>``)
+
+Upcoming features (partially finished in development branches):
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- NDNLPv2 (http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/NDNLPv2, :issue:`2520`,
+  :issue:`2879`, :issue:`2763`, :issue:`2883`, :issue:`2841`, :issue:`2866`)
+
+- New NDN certificate format (:issue:`2861`, :issue:`2868`)
+
+- NDN trust schema as a description of application trust model, which can help automate data
+  and interest packet signing and authentication (:issue:`2829`)
+
+- Refactored KeyChain abstraction (:issue:`2926`)
