+NFD version 22.02
+-----------------
+
+Release date: February 17, 2022
+
+Note that starting with this release, NFD switched to a new versioning convention:
+``YEAR.MONTH[.REVISION]``.
+
+Notable changes and new features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Remove NACKs from multicast strategy (:issue:`5146`)
+
+- Dispatch pending interests when a new next hop is created in ``MulticastStrategy``
+  (:issue:`4931`)
+
+- Reorder function parameters in Strategy classes to make the API more uniform
+  (:issue:`5173`)
+
+- Add default ``HopLimit`` to Interests when missing (:issue:`5171`)
+
+- Allow batch command processing by ``nfdc`` to accomodate case when ``nfdc`` is used to
+  create multiple faces/routes at once (:issue:`5169`)
+
+- Update ``Interest::ForwardingHint`` format (:issue:`5187`)
+
+- Rename the ASF strategy parameter ``n-silent-timeouts`` to ``max-timeouts``
+
+- Allow setting default UDP face MTU in ``nfd.conf`` (:issue:`5138`)
+
+Improvements and bug fixes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Execute ``pcap_activate`` as root for Ethernet faces (:issue:`4647`)
+
+- Update the validation examples in ``nfd.conf.sample`` to accept a certificate name in
+  ``KeyLocator`` in addition to a key name (:issue:`5114`)
+
+- Fix and simplify enumeration logic in ``Forwarder::onNewNextHop()``
+
+- Use per-upstream suppression in ASF strategy (:issue:`5140`)
+
+- Use typed name components for (versioned) strategy names (:issue:`5044`)
+
+- Avoid extending the dataset expiration in ``ForwarderStatusManager``
+
+- ``DeadNonceList`` improvements
+
+  * Code cleanup/modernization
+  * Prevent duplicate entries (:issue:`5167`)
+  * Improve logging (:issue:`5165`)
+  * Increase initial and minimum capacity
+
+- Handle error when calling ``remote_endpoint`` on a TCP socket (:issue:`5158`)
+
+- Various build system and documentation extensions and fixes
+
+Removals
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- Eliminate ``Forwarder::dispatchToStrategy()`` (use direct call to
+  ``StrategyChoice::findEffectiveStrategy(PitEntry)``)
+
+- NCC strategy (legacy)
+
+- Best-route strategy version 1 (legacy)
