+NFD version 0.1.0
+-----------------
+
+Release date: May 7, 2014
+
+This is an incomplete list of features that are implemented in NFD version 0.1.0.
+
+- **Packet Format**
+
+  + `NDN-TLV <http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/>`_
+  + LocalControlHeader, to allow apps to set outgoing face and learn incoming face.
+
+- **Faces**
+
+  + Unix stream socket
+  + UDP unicast
+  + UDP multicast
+  + TCP
+  + Ethernet, currently without fragmentation.
+
+    .. note::
+         Ethernet support will not work properly on Linux kernels with TPACKET_V3 flexible
+         buffer implementation (>= 3.2.0) and libpcap >= 1.5.0 (e.g., Ubuntu Linux 14.04).
+         Refer to `Issue 1551 <http://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1511>`_ for more
+         detail and implementation progress.
+
+- **Management**
+
+  + Use of signed Interests as commands, with authentication and authorization.
+  + Face management
+  + FIB management
+  + Per-namespace strategy selection
+  + NFD status publishing
+  + Notification to authorized apps of internal events, including Face creation and destruction.
+
+- **Tables and forwarding pipelines** support most Interest/Data processing, including
+  selectors.
+
+- **RIB Management** that runs as a separate process, ``nrd``.  It supports basic prefix
+  registration by applications, but no flags yet.
+
+- **Strategies**
+
+  + ``broadcast``
+  + ``best-route``
+  + ``ncc``: based on ccnx 0.7 for experimentation
+  + ``client-control``: authorized application can directly control Interest forwarding
+
+- **Name-based scoping**
+
+  + ``/localhost``: communication only within localhost using "local" Faces
+    (UnixStreamFace, LocalTcpFace).  NFD will strictly enforce this scope for Interests
+    and Data packets
+  + ``/localhop``: one-hop communication (e.g., if at least one incoming or outgoing Face
+    in PIT entry is non-local, the Interest cannot be forwarded to any non-local Face)
+
+- **Support configuration file**, which is in the Boost INFO format.
+
+- **Applications**
+
+  + Tools to discover hubs on NDN testbed.
+  + peek/poke and traffic generators for testing and debugging.
+  + ``nfdc``, a command-line tool to configure NFD.
+  + ``nfd-status``, a command-line tool to query NFD status.
+  + ``nfd-status-http-server``, which reads the NFD status and publishes over HTTP.
+
+
+Planned Functions and Features for Next Releases
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- NACK
+    A packet sent back by a producer or a router to signal the unavailability of a requested
+    Data packet. The protocol specification for NACK is in progress.
+
+- New strategies
+    Additional strategies, including self-learning that populates the FIB by observing
+    Interest and Data exchange.
+
+- Hop-by-hop Interest limit mechanism
+    For congestion control
+
+- Face enhancements
+    Add faces for new underlying protocols such as WiFi direct.
+    Introduce the concept of "permanent faces" that can survive socket errors.
+    Design a new hop-by-hop header that supports fragmentation, reliability improvement, etc.
+
+- Tables
+    Experiment and evaluate different data structures and algorithms.
+
+- RIB management
+    Move to more scalable data structures and support all flags in prefix registrations.
+
+- Tunnel management
+    For hub nodes to authenticate incoming tunnel requests and maintain the tunnels.
+
+- Extensible name-based scoping
+    Configurable organization-based scoping
