| 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. |
