+NFD version 0.7.0
+-----------------
+
+Release date: January 13, 2020
+
+New features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Support only `NDN packet format version 0.3 <https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/>`__
+  (:issue:`4805`, :issue:`4581`, :issue:`4913`)
+
+- Initial support for ``PitToken`` (:issue:`4532`)
+
+- Random Forwarding Strategy that chooses a random outgoing face, excluding the incoming
+  face of an Interest packet (:issue:`4992`)
+
+Improvements and bug fixes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Avoid ``cs::Entry`` construction during Content Store lookup (:issue:`4914`)
+
+- Make use of ndn-cxx's ``RttEstimator`` in ``LpReliability``, ``AsfStrategy``, and
+  ``AccessStrategy`` (:issue:`4887`)
+
+- Increase pcap buffer size in Ethernet faces (:issue:`2441`)
+
+- Make congestion marking less aggressive (:issue:`5003`). The updated implementation is
+  closer to the CoDel algorithm (RFC 8289)
+
+- Pull ``FaceTable`` construction out of ``Forwarder`` class (:issue:`4922`, :issue:`4973`)
+
+- Enable direct certificate fetch in ``RibManager`` (:issue:`2237`)
+
+- Refuse to start NFD if both ``localhop_security`` and ``auto_prefix_propagate`` are
+  enabled in the configuration file (:issue:`4989`)
+
+- Fix crash in self-learning strategy when the out-record of a PIT
+  entry does not exist (:issue:`5022`)
+
+- Use a separate validator and a separate configuration section in ``nfd.conf`` for prefix
+  announcements (:issue:`5031`).  The default configuration will accept any prefix
+  announcement.
+
+- Documentation improvements
