ndn-cxx version 0.3.0
---------------------
Release date: February 2, 2015
Changes since version 0.2.0:
New features
^^^^^^^^^^^^
- **Build**
+ The code now requires C++11. The minimum supported gcc version is 4.6, as earlier versions
do not have proper support for C++11 features.
- **Base**
+ Enable detailed version information when built from shallow clone or tarball
(:issue:`1915`)
+ Make default transport configurable (:issue:`2189`)
+ Add ability to do partial Name comparison (:issue:`2090`)
- **Security**
+ Add support for KeyDigest key locator (:issue:`1426`)
+ Add a method to get KeyDigest from a PublicKey instance (:issue:`1964`)
+ Add support for KeyChain to sign Interest using SHA256 digest (:issue:`2218`)
+ Add ``ndnsec-dsk-gen`` tool to generate a pair of Data-Signing-Key (DSK) for the specified
identity (:issue:`2246`)
+ Pair-up PIB and TPM in KeyChain: PIB remembers the last used TPM type/location, which is
used during KeyChain construction (unless overriden) (:issue:`2242`)
- **Wire encoding**
+ Add support for application-defined meta information blocks (:issue:`2021`)
+ Introduce new ``name::Component::is*`` methods to allow checking if the name component
follows the specific naming convention without relying on the exception handling
(:issue:`2088`)
+ Add definition of producer-generated NACK (:issue:`2111`)
+ Add ``std::hash<Name>`` specialization to support ``unordered_map`` container
(:issue:`2147`)
+ Add support for ImplicitSha256DigestComponent (:issue:`1640`)
+ Allow tagging Interest and Data packets with arbitrary information (:issue:`2336`)
- **Management**
+ Support NFD face query operation (:issue:`2085`)
- **Miscellaneous tools**
+ Add a new helper to calculate digests over dynamic inputs (:issue:`1934`)
+ Add DNS resolver helper (:issue:`1918`)
+ Import and re-license Ethernet and FaceUri classes from NFD codebase, add FaceUri
canonization support for ``udp``, ``tcp``, and ``ether`` schemas (:issue:`1994`)
+ Add per-application in-memory storage with LRU, LFU, and FIFO replacement policies
(:issue:`1940`)
+ Add ability to specialize system and steady clocks (e.g., for unit tests and simulation
purposes) (:issue:`2158`)
+ Expose DummyClientFace as public API
+ New IndentedStream helper class to simplify writing to streams with the specified indents
or prefixes (:issue:`2238`)
+ New Signal class template as an enhanced version of the deprecated EventEmitter
(:issue:`2279`)
+ New scheduler::ScopedEventId helper to automatically cancel scheduled events upon
destruction (:issue:`2442`)
+ New NetworkMonitor helper to detect network state changes (:issue:`2443`)
Updates and bug fixes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- **Base**
+ Prevent flags being set for rib/unregister command (:issue:`1945`)
+ Fix segfault caused by Face::unregisterPrefix when registeredPrefixId does not exist
+ Add explicit internal KeyChain to Face class. KeyChain previously existed in the Face as
part of NFD controller class. (:issue:`2039`)
+ Properly disable assertions in release builds (:issue:`2135`)
+ Connect to Transport during construction of Face instance (:issue:`2318`)
- **Wire encoding**
+ Fix segfault when decoding empty Exclude element (:issue:`1970`)
+ Provide EqualityComparable concept for Exclude element
+ Correct Marker in Name::appendVersion() (:issue:`2086`)
+ Ensure that wire-encoding errors are inherited from ``tlv::Error`` (:issue:`1983`)
- **Management**
+ Replace FaceFlags with individual fields in face management data structures (:issue:`1992`)
+ ``ndn::nfd::Controller`` extended to allow generating ControlCommand for remote prefix
registration (:issue:`2039`)
+ Change ``ForwarderStatus.NfdVersion`` to string (:issue:`2003`)
- **Security**
+ Fix ``ndnsec-cert-gen`` to correctly infer prefix before KEY component (:issue:`2052`)
+ Help message corrections in ``ndnsec-cert-dump``, ``ndnsec-cert-gen``, and
``ndnsec-key-gen`` (:issue:`2052`)
+ Accept ``--sign-id`` and ``--cert-prefix`` in ``ndnsec-cert-revoke`` (:issue:`2058`)
+ Changes output format of ``ndnsec-cert-revoke`` to base64 encoding (:issue:`2059`)
+ Add a new (safer) option to ``ndnsec-cert-gen`` allowing inclusion of additional
information blocks into the certificate. The new ``--signed-info`` parameter makes minimum
assumptions, treating text before first space as OID and the rest as the associated string
with this OID.
+ Make Face optional in Validator class (:issue:`2124`)
+ Display signature information when printing a certificate (:issue:`2196`)
+ Handle certificate decoding error in validation process (:issue:`2212`)
+ Fix segmentation fault in ``ndnsec-sign-req`` (:issue:`2211`)
+ Allow verbose option in ``ndnsec-list`` (:issue:`2197`)
+ Allow generation of DSK using ``ndnsec-key-gen`` (:issue:`2247`)
+ Allow ``ndnsec-key-gen`` to generate ECDSA keys (:issue:`2248`)
+ Fix memory leak in SecPublicInfoSqlite3 (:issue:`2253`)
+ Properly report status of ``ndnsec-delete`` execution (:issue:`2275`)
- **Miscellaneous tools**
+ Fix incorrect tag map in ``tlvdump`` tool
+ Change to default resolver behavior in util::dns::Resolver (:issue:`2415`)
- **Documentation**
+ Update of tutorials and installation instructions
+ Rename manpage of ``client.conf`` to ``ndn-client.conf`` (:issue:`1967`)
+ Updated and extended ndn-cxx code style:
- add rules for some C++11 constructs
- prefer ``BOOST_ASSERT`` and ``static_assert``
+ Improve example applications (:issue:`1976`)
- **Tests**
+ Improve security unit test cases (:issue:`1683`)
+ Embedding CI build and test running scripts into the repository
+ Partial unit test coverage for Face class (previously covered only by integration tests)
(:issue:`1947`)
+ Improve stability of unit tests by using UnitTestTime (wall clock independent time)
(:issue:`2152`)
- **Build**
+ Redesign the way default compiler flags are determined (:issue:`2209`)
+ Support tools and examples with multiple translation units (:issue:`2344`)
+ Disable installation of internal headers and headers of the disabled components
(:issue:`2266`, and :issue:`2269`)
+ Enable conditional compilation based on presence of ``getpass()`` function
