| 13 | |
| 14 | - **Build** |
| 15 | |

| 71 | |
| 72 | + Add per-application in-memory storage with LRU, LFU, and FIFO replacement policies |
| 73 | (:issue:`1940`) |
| 74 | |

| 97 | |
| 98 | + Fix segfault caused by Face::unregisterPrefix when registeredPrefixId does not exist |

| 189 | (:issue:`2152`) |
| 190 | |
| 191 | - **Build** |
| 192 | |
| 193 | + Redesign the way default compiler flags are determined (:issue:`2209`) |

| 324 | |
Alexander Afanasyev | 5946ed1 | 2015-01-19 23:41:39 -0800 | [diff] [blame^] | 325 | + Serialization of socket write operations (:issue:`1707`) |
Alexander Afanasyev | ec0499f | 2014-07-30 12:11:01 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 326 | |

| 343 | and then appends the resulting signature and prepends :ndn-cxx:`Data` packet header. |
| 344 | This way there is no extra memory allocation after :ndn-cxx:`Data` packet is signed. |

| 354 | |
| 355 | + Allow user to explicitly specify the cert name prefix before 'KEY' component in |
| 356 | ``ndnsec-certgen`` |
| 357 | |
| 358 | + ``SignatureSha256`` has been renamed to :ndn-cxx:`DigestSha256` to conform with |
| 359 | `NDN-TLV specification <http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/>`_. |
| 360 | |
| 361 | + Add checking of ``Timestamp`` and ``Nonce`` fields in signed Interest within |
| 362 | :ndn-cxx:`ValidatorConfig` |
| 363 | |
| 364 | + Allow validator customization using hooks: |
| 365 | |
| 366 | Sub-classes of :ndn-cxx:`Validator` class can use the following hooks to fine-tune the |
| 367 | validation process: |
| 368 | |
| 369 | * :ndn-cxx:`Validator::preCertificateValidation <preCertificateValidation>` to |
| 370 | process received certificate before validation. |
| 371 | * :ndn-cxx:`Validator::onTimeout <onTimeout>` to process interest timeout |
| 372 | * :ndn-cxx:`Validator::afterCheckPolicy <afterCheckPolicy>` to process validation requests. |

| 376 | - **Miscellaneous tools** |
| 377 | |
| 378 | + Redefine method for random number generation: ``random::generateWord*`` and |
| 379 | ``random::generateSecureWord*`` to generate cryptographically non-secure (fast) and |
| 380 | secure (slow) random numbers. |

Alexander Afanasyev | d36dd55 | 2014-06-30 12:42:46 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 382 | - Other minor fixes and corrections |
| 383 | |
| 384 | Deprecated: |
| 385 | ^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 386 | |
| 387 | - ``SignatureSha256`` class, use :ndn-cxx:`DigestSha256` instead. |
| 388 | |
| 389 | - All :ndn-cxx:`Face` constructors that accept ``shared_ptr<io_service>``. |
| 390 | |
| 391 | Use versions that accept reference to ``io_service`` object. |
| 392 | |
| 393 | - ``Face::ioService`` method, use :ndn-cxx:`Face::getIoService` instead. |
| 394 | |
| 395 | - :ndn-cxx:`Interest` constructor that accepts name, individual selectors, and individual |
| 396 | guiders as constructor parameters. |
| 397 | |
| 398 | Use ``Interest().setX(...).setY(...)`` or use the overload taking ``Selectors`` |
| 399 | |
| 400 | - ``name::Component::toEscapedString`` method, use :ndn-cxx:`name::Component::toUri` instead. |
| 401 | |
| 402 | - ``SecPublicInfo::addPublicKey`` method, use :ndn-cxx:`SecPublicInfo::addKey` instead. |
| 403 | |
| 404 | - ``Tlv::ConentType`` constant (typo), use ``Tlv::ContentType`` instead. |
| 405 | |
Alexander Afanasyev | ec0499f | 2014-07-30 12:11:01 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 406 | - ``CommandInterestGenerator`` and ``CommandInterestValidator`` utility classes. |
| 407 | :ndn-cxx:`ValidatorConfig` should be used instead. |
| 408 | |
Alexander Afanasyev | d36dd55 | 2014-06-30 12:42:46 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 409 | Removed: |
| 410 | ^^^^^^^^ |
| 411 | |
| 412 | - support of ndnd-tlv (only NFD management protocol is supported now) |
| 413 | |
| 414 | - ``SecPublicInfoMemory`` and ``SecTpmMemory`` classes that were no longer used |
| 415 | |
| 416 | - Removing concept of periodic event from :ndn-cxx:`Scheduler`. |
| 417 | |
| 418 | In applications, periodic events should be just re-scheduled within the callback for |
| 419 | single-shot events. |
| 420 | |

Alexander Afanasyev | ec0499f | 2014-07-30 12:11:01 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 426 | Release date: May 7, 2014 |
| 427 | |
Alexander Afanasyev | c5452c5 | 2014-04-29 17:21:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 428 | Version 0.1.0 is the initial release of ndn-cxx, an NDN C++ library with eXperimental |
| 429 | eXtensions. |
| 430 | |
| 431 | Originally based on `ndn-cpp library <https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cpp>`_ the ndn-cxx |
Lixia Zhang | c5fdfe7 | 2014-04-30 09:33:43 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 432 | library adopts a slightly different design philosophy (including an extensive use of Boost |
| 433 | libraries to facilitate development, as well as the use of Crypto++ library to support |
| 434 | cryptographic operations), and includes a number of extensions that aim to simplify NDN |
| 435 | application development. |
Alexander Afanasyev | c5452c5 | 2014-04-29 17:21:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 436 | |
| 437 | The current features include: |
| 438 | |
| 439 | - **Base** |
| 440 | |
Lixia Zhang | c5fdfe7 | 2014-04-30 09:33:43 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 441 | + Fully asynchronous, event-driven communication model, which is implemented using `Boost.Asio |
Alexander Afanasyev | c5452c5 | 2014-04-29 17:21:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 442 | <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html>`_ |
| 443 | + Single-threaded, but thread-safe Face operations |
| 444 | |
| 445 | A single Face object can be safely used in multiple threads to express Interests and |
| 446 | publish Data packets |
| 447 | |
| 448 | + Explicit time management for NDN operations using `Boost.Chrono |
| 449 | <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/chrono.html>`_ |
| 450 | + Simplified and extended `NDN API <doxygen/annotated.html>`_ |
| 451 | + Extensive set of unit-tests based on `Boost.Test framework |
| 452 | <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html>`_ |
| 453 | |
| 454 | - Continuous integration using an in-house installation of Jenkins build bots and the |
Lixia Zhang | c5fdfe7 | 2014-04-30 09:33:43 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 455 | hosted `Travis CI <https://travis-ci.org/named-data/ndn-cxx>`_ continuous |
| 456 | integration service compile and verify correctness of the library for each commit |
Alexander Afanasyev | c5452c5 | 2014-04-29 17:21:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 457 | |
| 458 | - **Wire format** |
| 459 | |
| 460 | + Full support of `NDN-TLV packet format v0.1 <http://named-data.net/doc/NDN-TLV/0.1/>`_ |
| 461 | + Pure C++ implementation of wire encoding/decoding with simple access to wire format |
| 462 | of all NDN packet abstractions via ``wireEncode`` and ``wireDecode`` methods |
| 463 | |
| 464 | In many cases, NDN packet abstractions are just "indices" to the wire format |
| 465 | |
Alexander Afanasyev | c5452c5 | 2014-04-29 17:21:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 466 | - **Communication with the forwarder** |
| 467 | |
| 468 | + Enable connecting to local forwarder via UNIX and TCP transports and to remote |
| 469 | forwarders using TCP transport |
| 470 | + Full support for communication with `Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon (NFD) |
| 471 | <https://github.com/named-data/NFD>`_ |
| 472 | |
| 473 | - Full support for `NFD management protocols |
| 474 | <http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/Management>`_ to NFD status |
| 475 | information, create and manage NFD Faces, receive NFD Face status change |
| 476 | notifications, update StrategyChoice for namespaces, and manage routes in RIB |
| 477 | - Support for `LocalControlHeader |
| 478 | <http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/LocalControlHeader>`_ to implement |
| 479 | special NDN applications that need low-level control of NDN packet forwarding |
| 480 | |
Lixia Zhang | c5fdfe7 | 2014-04-30 09:33:43 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 481 | - **Security support** |

| 486 | - **KeyChain**: provides simple interfaces of packet signing, and key and certificate |
| 487 | management |

| 491 | and validate command interests, while preventing potential replay attacks |
| 492 | |
| 493 | + Several implementations of trusted platform modules to securely manage private keys |
| 494 | |
| 495 | - **SecTpmOsx**: TPM based on OSX KeyChain (OSX-specific) |
| 496 | - **SecTpmFile**: TPM that uses file-based access control to protect keys (cross-platform) |
| 497 | |
| 498 | + Extensive set of security command-line tools to manage security identities and certificates |
| 499 | |
| 500 | - Generating private/public keys |
| 501 | - Issuing certificates |
| 502 | - Exporting/importing identities |
| 503 | - Managing default security settings |
| 504 | |
| 505 | - **Miscellaneous tools** |
| 506 | |
| 507 | + Scheduler to support delayed time operations |
| 508 | + NDN regular expressions |
| 509 | + Simple config file to alter various aspects of the library |
