Changes since version 0.3.3

Release date: August 31, 2015

New features:

- By default, library is now compiled as a shared library (Issue 2867)
- Specification for the new NDN certificate format. The reference
  implementation is being developed and will be merged in a future
  release. (Issue 2861)
- Add new ValidityPeriod abstraction into SignatureInfo (Issue 2868)
- Add new optional AdditionalInfo abstraction for SignatureInfo (Issue
  3058)
- Implementation of basic NDNLP2 abstractions (Issues 2875, 2878,
  2963, 2879)
- Face::registerPrefix and Face::setInterestFilter are now unified
  with the use of SigningInfo abstraction (Issue 2932)
- New Dispatcher class to simplify server-side implementation of NFD
  management protocol (Issue 2107)

Improvements and bug fixes:

- Fix compilation error with Boost 1.59 (Issue 3128)
- Enhance exception throwing with Boost Exception library (Issue 2997)
- Improvements of string helpers (Issue 3006)
- Add API in Block class to add sub-elements (Issue 2998)
- Add constructor to create sub-elements using the underlying
  buffer (Issue 3100)
- Fix bug in Block::remove, so it removes all sub-elements of the
  specified type (Issue 2998)
- Add ability to create util::Digest object from std::istream& (Issue 3022)

Deprecated:

- The following methods of CommandOptions class in favor of
  getSigningInfo and setSigningInfo methods (Issue 2893):
  - getSigningParamsKind
  - getSigningIdentity
  - getSigningCertificate
  - setSigningDefault
  - setSigningIdentity
  - setSigningCertificate
  - setSigningCertificate
- Overloads of Face::registerPrefix and Face::setInterestFilter that
  do not accept SigningInfo parameter (Issue 2932)

Upcoming features (partially implemented in development branches):

- Introduce new API to simplify security transformations (Issue 3009)
- NDN trust schema as a description of application trust model, which
  can help automate data and interest packet signing and
  authentication (Issue 2829)
- Refactored KeyChain abstraction (Issue 2926)
