| Alexander Afanasyev | a3bf431 | 2018-09-16 20:43:06 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | ndn-cxx version 0.6.3 |
| 2 | --------------------- |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Release date: September 18, 2018 |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Note that this is the last release that encodes to `NDN packet format version 0.2.1 |
| 7 | <https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.2.1/>`__. A future release will continue to |
| 8 | decode v0.2.1 format, but will encode to `v0.3 format |
| 9 | <https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/>`__. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | The build requirements have been upgraded to gcc >= 5.3 or clang >= 3.6, boost >= 1.58, |
| 12 | openssl >= 1.0.2. This effectively drops support for all versions of Ubuntu older than 16.04 |
| 13 | that use distribution-provided compilers and packages. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The compilation now uses the C++14 standard. |
| 16 | |

| 23 | - Allow applications to declare a default ``CanBePrefix`` setting (:issue:`4581`) |
| 24 | |
| 25 | - Accommodate typed name components in ``Name::getSuccessor`` (:issue:`4570`) |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - Support Parameters element (:issue:`4658`) |
| 28 | |
| 29 | - Recognize alternative type representations in URI syntax (:issue:`4690`) |
| 30 | |
| 31 | - Introduce ``ParametersSha256DigestComponent`` (:issue:`4658`, :issue:`4570`) |
| 32 | |
| 33 | - Prefix announcement object (:issue:`4650`) |
| 34 | |
| 35 | - MTU element in ``ControlParameters`` and ``FaceStatus`` (:issue:`4005`) |

| 42 | |
| 43 | Improvements and bug fixes |
| 44 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 45 | |
| 46 | - Fix a segfault in ``Face::satisfyPendingInterests`` when ``Face::put`` is |
| 47 | called in DataCallback (:issue:`4596`) |
| 48 | |

| 54 | |
| 55 | - Eliminate selector usage in ``SegmentFetcher`` (:issue:`4555`) |
| 56 | |
| 57 | - Improvements in ``netlink`` message processing |
| 58 | |
| 59 | - Gracefully handle ``NetworkMonitor`` backend initialization failure (:issue:`4668`) |
| 60 | |
| 61 | - Add support 224-bit and 521-bit NIST elliptic curves, add support for SHA-3 (with |
| 62 | openssl >= 1.1.1-pre1), and forbid RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits in security helpers |
| 63 | |
| 64 | - Improve and simplify code with modern C++ features |
| 65 | |
| 66 | - Properly declare move constructors |
| 67 | |
| 68 | - Improve error handling |
| 69 | |
| 70 | - Improve test cases |
| 71 | |
| 72 | - Correct and improve documentation |
| 73 | |
| 74 | Deprecated |
| 75 | ~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 76 | |
| 77 | - ``SegmentFetcher::fetch()`` static functions in favor of ``start()`` (:issue:`4464`) |
| 78 | |
| 79 | - ``ndn::ip::address{,V6}FromString`` as Boost.Asio >= 1.58 has proper implementation of |
| 80 | ``addressFromString`` |
| 81 | |
| 82 | - Selectors (:issue:`4527`) |
| 83 | |
| 84 | NDN Packet Format v0.3 replaces Selectors with ``CanBePrefix`` and ``MustBeFresh`` elements. |
| 85 | ``CanBePrefix`` and ``MustBeFresh`` are currently mapped to the closest v0.2 semantics and |
| 86 | encoded as selectors. |
| 87 | |
| 88 | - ``Data::get/setFinalBlockId()`` in favor of ``Data::get/setFinalBlock()`` |
| 89 | |
| 90 | Removed |
| 91 | ~~~~~~~ |
| 92 | |
| 93 | - Dependency on Boost.Regex in favor of ``std::regex`` |
