8This release features support of only `NDN packet format version 0.3
9<https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/>`__ (:issue:`4527`, :issue:`4567`,
10:issue:`4709`, :issue:`4913`). The library encodes and interprets Interest and Data
Davide Pesavento933a5672020-07-03 22:32:43 -040011packets only in 0.3 format; support for version 0.2 has been completely removed. In
12addition, the URI representation of Interest packets has been updated to follow the
13packet format changes.

15New features
16^^^^^^^^^^^^
17
18- HMAC signing support (:issue:`3075`)
19
Davide Pesavento576c21b2022-11-29 20:00:22 -050020- Support for ``ParametersSha256DigestComponent`` in :ndn-cxx:`Name` and :ndn-cxx:`Interest`
Alexander Afanasyevcf8ffd42019-12-29 17:58:53 -080021 (:issue:`4658`)
22
Davide Pesavento576c21b2022-11-29 20:00:22 -050023- Encoding and decoding of ``HopLimit`` field in Interest (:issue:`4806`)
Alexander Afanasyevcf8ffd42019-12-29 17:58:53 -080024
Davide Pesavento576c21b2022-11-29 20:00:22 -050025- Support for encoding and decoding PIT token as NDNLPv2 field (:issue:`4532`).
Alexander Afanasyevcf8ffd42019-12-29 17:58:53 -080026
27 PIT token is a hop-by-hop header field that identifies an Interest-Data exchange. The
28 downstream node can assign an opaque token to an outgoing Interest, and the upstream node
29 is expected to return the same token on the Data or Nack in reply to that Interest. This
30 would allow the downstream node to accelerate its processing, especially in PIT lookup.
31
Davide Pesavento576c21b2022-11-29 20:00:22 -050032- :ndn-cxx:`io::loadBuffer` and :ndn-cxx:`io::saveBuffer` helper functions
Alexander Afanasyevcf8ffd42019-12-29 17:58:53 -080033
