| 5 | |
| 6 | all: |
| 7 | - Switch to version 2 of certificates, `KeyChain`, and `Validator` (Issue #4089) |
| 8 | - Compilation fixes (Issue #4259) |
| 9 | |
| 10 | peek: |
| 11 | - Convert use of `Link` into `ForwardingHint` (Issue #4055) |
| 12 | |
| 13 | chunks: |
| 14 | - Make `ndnputchunks` display some output by default. A new `-q` flag makes output |
| 15 | completely silent, except for errors (Issue #4286) |
| 16 | - Refactor `ndnputchunks` options handling |
| 17 | - Reduce initial timeout of iterative version discovery in `ndncatchunks` (Issue #4291) |
| 18 | - Fix potential `ndncatchunks` crash on exit |

| Alexander Afanasyev | 339161a | 2016-10-27 22:41:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 20 | ## Version 0.4 |
| 21 | |
| 22 | **NOTE** |
| 23 | |
| 24 | As of version 0.4, NDN Essential Tools require a modern compiler (gcc >= 4.8.2, clang >= 3.4) |
| 25 | and a relatively new version of the Boost libraries (>= 1.54). This means that the code no |
| 26 | longer compiles with the packaged version of gcc and Boost libraries on Ubuntu 12.04. |
| 27 | NDN Essential Tools can still be compiled on such systems, but require a separate |
| 28 | installation of a newer version of the compiler (e.g., clang-3.4) and dependencies. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | chunks: |
| 31 | - Change default version discovery to `iterative` |
| 32 | - Improve help text of `ndnputchunks` |
| 33 | - Fix `DiscoverVersionIterative` build error |
| 34 | - Modularize Interest pipeline implementation |
| 35 | - Add AIMD congestion control (Issue #3636) |
| 36 | - Code cleanup and improvements |
| 37 | |
| 38 | dissect-wireshark: |
| 39 | - Add initial support for NDNLPv2 (Issue #3197) |
| 40 | - Fix potential memory overflow |
| 41 | |
| 42 | dump: |
| 43 | - Add support for Linux cooked-mode capture (SLL) (Issue #3061) |
| 44 | - Improve error messages |
| 45 | |
| 46 | pib: |
| 47 | - Disable by default (can be compiled with ndn-cxx version 0.5.0) |
| 48 | - Fix compilation error with new version of ndn-cxx library |
| 49 | - Avoid use of deprecated block helpers |
| 50 | - Correct build target path |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ping: |
| 53 | - Recognize and trace NACK |
| 54 | - Fix potential divide-by-zero bug in StatisticsCollector (Issue #3504) |
| 55 | |
| 56 | peek: |
| 57 | - Recognize and properly handle NACK |
| 58 | - Refactor implementation |
| 59 | |
| 60 | ## Version 0.3 |
| 61 | |
| 62 | chunks: **New** (pair of) tool(s) for segmented file transfer |
| 63 | |
| 64 | peek: |
| 65 | - Allow verbose output |
| 66 | - Switch from `getopt` to `boost::program_options` |
| 67 | - Add `--link-file` option |
| 68 | |
| 69 | ping: |
| 70 | - Document ndnping protocol |
| 71 | |
| 72 | dump: |
| 73 | - Capture and print network NACK packets |
| 74 | - Update docs to include NACK capture feature |
| 75 | |
| 76 | build scripts: |
| 77 | - Enable -Wextra by default |
| 78 | - Fix missing tool name in `configure --help` output |
| 79 | - Fix compatibility with Python 3 |
| 80 | |
| 81 | ## Version 0.2 |
| 82 | |
| 83 | Code improvements and new tools: |
| 84 | |
| 85 | - PIB service to manage the public information of keys and publish certificates |
| 86 | (Issue 3018) |
| 87 | - A Wireshark dissector for NDN packets (Issue 3092) |
| 88 | |
| 89 | ## Version 0.1 |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Initial release of NDN Essential Tools, featuring: |
| 92 | |
| 93 | - ndnpeek, ndnpoke: a pair of programs to request and make available for |
| 94 | retrieval of a single Data packet |
| 95 | - ndnping, ndnpingserver: reachability testing tools for Named Data Networking |
| 96 | - ndndump: a traffic analysis tool that captures Interest and Data packets on |
| 97 | the wire |
| 98 | - ndn-dissect: an NDN packet format inspector. It reads zero or more NDN |
| 99 | packets from either an input file or the standard input, and displays the |
| 100 | Type-Length-Value (TLV) structure of those packets on the standard output. |
