+    .. note::
+       In order to retrieve the marked versions of ndn-cxx and NFD, use
+       ``--recursive`` option to the git clone command or run ``git
+       submodule update --init`` after clone, pull, or merge.
+
+- Base NS-3 was rebased to version 3.29
+
+- Following changes in NFD and ndn-cxx codebases, the build requirements have been upgraded to gcc
+  >= 5.3 or clang >= 3.6, boost >= 1.58, openssl >= 1.0.2. This effectively drops support for all
+  versions of Ubuntu older than 16.04 that use distribution-provided compilers and packages.
+
+- The compilation now uses the C++14 standard.
+
+Improvements and bug fixes

+
+Deprecation

+- ndnSIM 2.7 is the last release that supports the legacy content store implementation.  The future versions
+  will only include content store replacement/placement policies implemented using NFD routines.  Please
+  refer to the latest version of NFD Developer's Guide for more information.
