Changes since version 0.2.0

Release date: February 2, 2015

New features:

-   Build
    -   The code now requires C++11. The minimum supported gcc version
        is 4.6, as earlier versions do not have proper support for C++11
        features.
-   Base
    -   Enable detailed version information when built from shallow
        clone or tarball (Issue 1915)
    -   Make default transport configurable (Issue 2189)
    -   Add ability to do partial Name comparison (Issue 2090)
-   Security
    -   Add support for KeyDigest key locator (Issue 1426)
    -   Add a method to get KeyDigest from a PublicKey instance (Issue 1964)
    -   Add support for KeyChain to sign Interest using SHA256 digest
        (Issue 2218)
    -   Add ndnsec-dsk-gen tool to generate a pair of Data-Signing-Key
        (DSK) for the specified identity (Issue 2246)
    -   Pair-up PIB and TPM in KeyChain: PIB remembers the last used TPM
        type/location, which is used during KeyChain construction
        (unless overriden) (Issue 2242)
-   Wire encoding
    -   Add support for application-defined meta information blocks
        (Issue 2021)
    -   Introduce new name::Component::is* methods to allow checking if
        the name component follows the specific naming convention
        without relying on the exception handling (Issue 2088)
    -   Add definition of producer-generated NACK (Issue 2111)
    -   Add std::hash<Name> specialization to support unordered_map
        container (Issue 2147)
    -   Add support for ImplicitSha256DigestComponent (Issue 1640)
    -   Allow tagging Interest and Data packets with arbitrary
        information (Issue 2336)
-   Management
    -   Support NFD face query operation (Issue 2085)
-   Miscellaneous tools
    -   Add a new helper to calculate digests over dynamic inputs (Issue 1934)
    -   Add DNS resolver helper (Issue 1918)
    -   Import and re-license Ethernet and FaceUri classes from NFD
        codebase, add FaceUri canonization support for udp, tcp, and
        ether schemas (Issue 1994)
    -   Add per-application in-memory storage with LRU, LFU, and FIFO
        replacement policies (Issue 1940)
    -   Add ability to specialize system and steady clocks (e.g., for
        unit tests and simulation purposes) (Issue 2158)
    -   Expose DummyClientFace as public API
    -   New IndentedStream helper class to simplify writing to streams
        with the specified indents or prefixes (Issue 2238)
    -   New Signal class template as an enhanced version of the
        deprecated EventEmitter (Issue 2279)
    -   New scheduler::ScopedEventId helper to automatically cancel
        scheduled events upon destruction (Issue 2442)
    -   New NetworkMonitor helper to detect network state changes (Issue 2443)

Updates and bug fixes:

-   Base
    -   Prevent flags being set for rib/unregister command (Issue 1945)
    -   Fix segfault caused by Face::unregisterPrefix when
        registeredPrefixId does not exist
    -   Add explicit internal KeyChain to Face class. KeyChain
        previously existed in the Face as part of NFD controller class.
        (Issue 2039)
    -   Properly disable assertions in release builds (Issue 2135)
    -   Connect to Transport during construction of Face instance (Issue 2318)
-   Wire encoding
    -   Fix segfault when decoding empty Exclude element (Issue 1970)
    -   Provide EqualityComparable concept for Exclude element
    -   Correct Marker in Name::appendVersion() (Issue 2086)
    -   Ensure that wire-encoding errors are inherited from tlv::Error
        (Issue 1983)
-   Management
    -   Replace FaceFlags with individual fields in face management data
        structures (Issue 1992)
    -   ndn::nfd::Controller extended to allow generating ControlCommand
        for remote prefix registration (Issue 2039)
    -   Change ForwarderStatus.NfdVersion to string (Issue 2003)
-   Security
    -   Fix ndnsec-cert-gen to correctly infer prefix before KEY
        component (Issue 2052)
    -   Help message corrections in ndnsec-cert-dump, ndnsec-cert-gen,
        and ndnsec-key-gen (Issue 2052)
    -   Accept --sign-id and --cert-prefix in ndnsec-cert-revoke (Issue 2058)
    -   Changes output format of ndnsec-cert-revoke to base64 encoding
        (Issue 2059)
    -   Add a new (safer) option to ndnsec-cert-gen allowing inclusion
        of additional information blocks into the certificate. The new
        --signed-info parameter makes minimum assumptions, treating text
        before first space as OID and the rest as the associated string
        with this OID.
    -   Make Face optional in Validator class (Issue 2124)
    -   Display signature information when printing a certificate (Issue 2196)
    -   Handle certificate decoding error in validation process (Issue 2212)
    -   Fix segmentation fault in ndnsec-sign-req (Issue 2211)
    -   Allow verbose option in ndnsec-list (Issue 2197)
    -   Allow generation of DSK using ndnsec-key-gen (Issue 2247)
    -   Allow ndnsec-key-gen to generate ECDSA keys (Issue 2248)
    -   Fix memory leak in SecPublicInfoSqlite3 (Issue 2253)
    -   Properly report status of ndnsec-delete execution (Issue 2275)
-   Miscellaneous tools
    -   Fix incorrect tag map in tlvdump tool
    -   Change to default resolver behavior in util::dns::Resolver
        (Issue 2415)
-   Documentation
    -   Update of tutorials and installation instructions
    -   Rename manpage of client.conf to ndn-client.conf (Issue 1967)
    -   Updated and extended ndn-cxx code style:
        -   add rules for some C++11 constructs
        -   prefer BOOST_ASSERT and static_assert
    -   Improve example applications (Issue 1976)
-   Tests
    -   Improve security unit test cases (Issue 1683)
    -   Embedding CI build and test running scripts into the repository
    -   Partial unit test coverage for Face class (previously covered
        only by integration tests) (Issue 1947)
    -   Improve stability of unit tests by using UnitTestTime (wall
        clock independent time) (Issue 2152)
-   Build
    -   Redesign the way default compiler flags are determined (Issue 2209)
    -   Support tools and examples with multiple translation units
        (Issue 2344)
    -   Disable installation of internal headers and headers of the
        disabled components (2266, and 2269)
    -   Enable conditional compilation based on presence of getpass()
        function
