ndn-cxx version 0.6.6
---------------------
Release date: April 27, 2019
.. note::
This is the last release to support the `NDN packet format version 0.2.1
<https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.2.1/>`__.
The next release will be able to encode and decode only the `v0.3 packet format
<https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/>`__.
New features
^^^^^^^^^^^^
- More support for `NDN packet format version 0.3
<https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/>`__ (:issue:`4527`)
* Support new naming conventions to encode/decode segment numbers, byte offsets, versions,
timestamps, and sequence numbers based on typed name components (:issue:`4777`)
* Stop using ``ChildSelector`` in ``CertificateBundleFetcher`` (:issue:`4665`)
- ``NDN_THROW`` macro to throw exceptions including file position and runtime context of the
throw statement (:issue:`4834`)
- Ensure that a :ndn-cxx:`Block` with TLV-TYPE zero is treated as invalid (:issue:`4726`,
:issue:`4895`)
Improvements and bug fixes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Avoid directly using memory address as ``PendingInterestId`` to prevent potential false
removal of an entry (:issue:`2865`)
- Follow up packet specification changes to rename the ``Parameters`` element to
``ApplicationParameters`` and to change its number to be a non-critical element type
(:issue:`4658`, :issue:`4780`)
- Add an option to disable the infrastructure Interest in ``CertificateFetcherDirectFetch``
(:issue:`4879`)
- Fix compilation against recent versions of Boost libraries and issues with Xcode 10.2 and
older versions of Boost libraries (:issue:`4890`, :issue:`4923`, :issue:`4860`)
- Improve the "CanBePrefix unset" warning (:issue:`4581`)
- Improve documentation
Deprecated
^^^^^^^^^^
- ``PendingInterestId``, ``RegisteredPrefixId``, and ``InterestFilterId`` types in favor of
``PendingInterestHandle``, ``RegisteredPrefixHandle``, and ``InterestFilterHandle``
(:issue:`4316`, :issue:`3919`)
- ``Block::empty`` in favor of ``Block::isValid`` (with inverted semantics)
- ``Scheduler::scheduleEvent`` and ``Scheduler::cancelEvent`` in favor of ``Scheduler::schedule``
and ``EventId::cancel`` (or use ``ScopedEventId`` to automatically cancel the event when
the object goes out of scope) (:issue:`4883`)
- ``ndn::util::Scheduler`` (use ``ndn::Scheduler`` or ``ndn::scheduler::Scheduler``) and
``ndn::EventId`` (use ``ndn::scheduler::EventId``) (:issue:`4883`)
