| 2 | ============= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | ## Version 0.4 |
| 5 | |
| 6 | **NOTE** |
| 7 | |
| 8 | As of version 0.4, NDN Essential Tools require a modern compiler (gcc >= 4.8.2, clang >= 3.4) |
| 9 | and a relatively new version of the Boost libraries (>= 1.54). This means that the code no |
| 10 | longer compiles with the packaged version of gcc and Boost libraries on Ubuntu 12.04. |
| 11 | NDN Essential Tools can still be compiled on such systems, but require a separate |
| 12 | installation of a newer version of the compiler (e.g., clang-3.4) and dependencies. |
