ndn-cxx v0.1.0 Release Notes
============================
Version 0.1.0 is the initial release of ndn-cxx, an NDN C++ library with eXperimental eXtensions.
Originally based on [ndn-cpp library](https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cpp) the ndn-cxx library
adopts a slightly different design philosophy (including an extensive use of Boost libraries to
facilitate development, as well as the use of Crypto++ library to support cryptographic operations),
and includes a number of extensions that aim to simplify NDN application development.
The current features include:
- **Base**
- Fully asynchronous, event-driven communication model, which is implemented using
[Boost.Asio](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html)
- Single-threaded, but thread-safe Face operations
> A single Face object can be safely used in multiple threads to express Interests and
> publish Data packets
- Explicit time management for NDN operations using
[Boost.Chrono](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/chrono.html)
- Simplified and extended [NDN API](doxygen/annotated.html)
- Extensive set of unit-tests based on [Boost.Test
framework](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html)
- Continuous integration using an in-house installation of Jenkins build bots and the
hosted [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/named-data/ndn-cxx) continuous integration
service compile and verify correctness of the library for each commit
- **Wire format**
- Full support of [NDN-TLV packet format v0.1](http://named-data.net/doc/NDN-TLV/0.1/)
- Pure C++ implementation of wire encoding/decoding with simple access to wire format of all
NDN packet abstractions via `wireEncode` and `wireDecode` methods
> In many cases, NDN packet abstractions are just "indices" to the wire format
- **Communication with the forwarder**
- Enable connecting to local forwarder via UNIX and TCP transports and to remote forwarders
using TCP transport
- Full support for communication with [Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon
(NFD)](https://github.com/named-data/NFD)
- Full support for [NFD management
protocols](http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/Management) to NFD status
information, create and manage NFD Faces, receive NFD Face status change notifications,
update StrategyChoice for namespaces, and manage routes in RIB
- Support for
[LocalControlHeader](http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/LocalControlHeader)
to implement special NDN applications that need low-level control of NDN packet
forwarding
- **Security support**
- A set of security primitives to allowing implementation of secure NDN applications in a
simplified manner
- **KeyChain**: provides simple interfaces of packet signing, and key and certificate
management
- **ValidatorConfig**: validator that implements trust model defined in a configuration
file
- **CommandInterestGenerator** and **CommandInterestValidator**: convenient helpers to
produce and validate command interests, while preventing potential replay attacks
- Several implementations of trusted platform modules to securely manage private keys
- **SecTpmOsx**: TPM based on OSX KeyChain (OSX-specific)
- **SecTpmFile**: TPM that uses file-based access control to protect keys (cross-platform)
- Extensive set of security command-line tools to manage security identities and certificates
- Generating private/public keys
- Issuing certificates
- Exporting/importing identities
- Managing default security settings
- **Miscellaneous tools**
- Scheduler to support delayed time operations
- NDN regular expressions
- Simple config file to alter various aspects of the library
- **tlvdump**: a simple tool to visualize TLV-encoded blocks
