| 2 | --------------------- |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Release date: January 13, 2020 |
| 5 | |
| 6 | **Breaking Change** |
| 7 | |
| 8 | This 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 |
| 11 | packets only in 0.3 format; support for version 0.2 has been completely removed. In |
| 12 | addition, the URI representation of Interest packets has also been changed following the |
| 13 | packet format updates. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | New features |
| 16 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 17 | |
| 18 | - HMAC signing support (:issue:`3075`) |
| 19 | |
| 20 | - Support for ``ParametersSha256DigestComponent`` in ``Name`` and ``Interest`` classes |
| 21 | (:issue:`4658`) |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - Encoding/decoding of ``HopLimit`` field in Interest (:issue:`4806`) |
| 24 | |
| 25 | - PIT token (:issue:`4532`). |
| 26 | |
| 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 | |
| 32 | - ``io::loadBuffer`` and ``io::saveBuffer`` helper functions |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Improvements and bug fixes |
| 35 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 36 | |
| 37 | - Various improvements in the Linux implementation of ``NetworkMonitor`` class |
| 38 | |
| 39 | - Rework of ``RttEstimator`` class: |
| 40 | |
| 41 | * split into two classes: ``RttEstimator`` and ``RttEstimatorWithStats`` (:issue:`4887`) |
| 42 | * add a getter for the smoothed RTT value (:issue:`4892`) |
| 43 | * switch to use ``time::nanoseconds`` (:issue:`4887`) |
| 44 | |
| 45 | - Make use of attributes in logging facilities and generalize logger backend support |
| 46 | (:issue:`4969`, :issue:`3782`) |
| 47 | |
| 48 | - Silently accept an empty validation policy instead of throwing an exception (:issue:`5049`) |
| 49 | |
| 50 | - Introduce alternative URI syntax for component types used in naming conventions, with |
| 51 | ability to choose between canonical and alternate format (:issue:`4777`) |
| 52 | |
| 53 | - Don't force the generation of an Interest nonce during decoding (:issue:`4685`) |
| 54 | |
| 55 | - Various documentation improvements |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Removals |
| 58 | ^^^^^^^^ |
| 59 | |
| 60 | - ``ndn::util::Scheduler`` (use ``ndn::Scheduler`` or ``ndn::scheduler::Scheduler``) and |
| 61 | ``ndn::EventId`` (use ``ndn::scheduler::EventId``) (:issue:`4883`) |
| 62 | |
| 63 | - Unused ``KeyClass`` and ``AclType`` enums |
| 64 | |
| 65 | - Unused ``v2::PublicKey`` alias of ``transform::PublicKey`` |
| 66 | |
| 67 | - ``HmacFilter`` class, use SignerFilter and VerifierFilter instead |
| 68 | |
| 69 | - Ill-defined equality operators for ``Interest``, ``MetaInfo``, ``Signature`` (:issue:`4569`) |
| 70 | |
| 71 | - Implicit conversion from the ``xyzHandle`` types to ``const xyzId*`` (where ``xyz`` is |
| 72 | ``PendingInterest``, ``RegisteredPrefixId``, and ``InterestFilterId``) |
| 73 | |
| 74 | - Deprecated ``KeyLocator::Type`` enum |
| 75 | |
| 76 | - Private header files of concrete PIB, TPM, and KeyHandle implementations are no longer |
| 77 | installed (:issue:`4782`) |
| 78 | |
| 79 | - Renamed ``util/backports-ostream-joiner.hpp`` to ``util/ostream-joiner.hpp`` |
