New features:
- Base
- The license under which the library is released is changed to Lesser GNU Public
License version 3.0.
- New ways to use incoming Interest dispatching:
- New InterestFilter abstraction that supports filtering based on name prefixes
and regular expressions.
- Separated Face::registerPrefix() and Face::setInterestFilter() methods allow
distinct operations of registering with the local NDN forwarder and setting up
application-specific OnInterest call dispatch using InterestFilters.
- Security
- Add type dir trust-anchor in ValidatorConfig to add all certificates under the
specified directory as trust anchors. The new option also allows periodic
reloading trust anchors, allowing dynamic trust models.
- Added support for multiple signature types to PublicKey, SecPublicInfo
abstractions
- New SignatureSha256WithEcdsa signature type
- Wire encoding
- Data::getFullName() method to get Data packet name with implicit digest
- New Name::getSuccessor() method to get name successor
- Management
- Support for ChannelStatus, StrategyChoice datasets
- Build
- enabled support of precompiled headers for clang and gcc compilers to speed up
compilation
Updates and bug fixes:
- Wire encoding
- Nonce field is now encoded as 4-byte uint8_t value, as defined by NDN-TLV spec.
- Optimized Data packet signing
KeyChain::sign method now pre-allocates EncodingBuffer, requests unsigned portion
of Data using Data::wireEncode(EncodingBuffer, true), and then appends the
resulting signature and prepends Data packet header. This way there is no extra
memory allocation after Data packet is signed.
- Security
- Allow user to explicitly specify the cert name prefix before 'KEY' component in
ndnsec-certgen
- SignatureSha256 has been renamed to DigestSha256 to conform with NDN-TLV
specification.
- Add checking of Timestamp and Nonce fields in signed Interest within
ValidatorConfig
- Allow validator customization using hooks:
Sub-classes of Validator class can use the following hooks to fine-tune the
validation process:
- Validator::preCertificateValidation to process
received certificate before validation.
- Validator::onTimeout to process interest timeout
- Validator::afterCheckPolicy to process validation
requests.
- Other minor fixes and corrections
Deprecated:
- SignatureSha256 class, use DigestSha256 instead.
- All Face constructors that accept shared_ptr<io_service>.
Use versions that accept reference to io_service object.
- Face::ioService method, use Face::getIoService instead.
- Interest constructor that accepts name, individual selectors, and individual guiders
as constructor parameters.
Use Interest().setX(...).setY(...) or use the overload taking Selectors
- name::Component::toEscapedString method, use name::Component::toUri instead.
- SecPublicInfo::addPublicKey method, use SecPublicInfo::addKey instead.
- Tlv::ConentType constant (typo), use Tlv::ContentType instead.
Removed:
- support of ndnd-tlv (only NFD management protocol is supported now)
- SecPublicInfoMemory and SecTpmMemory classes that were no longer used
- Removing concept of periodic event from Scheduler.
In applications, periodic events should be just re-scheduled within the callback for
single-shot events.
