| 2 | ----------------- |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Release date: TBD |
| 5 | |
| 6 | .. note:: |
| 7 | Version 0.4.0 introduces several breaking changes to API and wire format of management protocols |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Changes since version 0.3.4: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | New features: |
| 12 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 13 | |
| 14 | - **(breaking change)** Refactored implementation of face system (:issue:`3088`, |
| 15 | :issue:`3104`, :issue:`3165`, :issue:`3168`, :issue:`3225`, :issue:`3226`) |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The abstraction to send/receive NDN packets has been split into Transport, LinkService, and Face: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * *Transport* provides delivery of the data blocks over specific underlying channels |
| 20 | (raw ethernet packets, unicast/multicast UDP datagrams, TCP and WebSocket streams) |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Implemented: :NFD:`UnixStreamTransport`, :NFD:`UnicastUdpTransport`, :NFD:`MulticastUdpTransport`. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * *LinkService* provides an "adaptation" layer to translate between NDN packets and data |
| 25 | blocks communicated through Transport. For example, LinkService can provide packet |
| 26 | fragmentation and reassembly services. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Implemented: :NFD:`GenericLinkService` |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * *Face* provides combines Transport and LinkServices, providing high-level interface to work |
| 31 | with Interest/Data/Nack packets inside NFD. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | .. note:: |
| 34 | This feature replaces support for signaling between local applications and NFD from |
| 35 | LocalControlHeader with NDNLPv2 protocol. If your application uses |
| 36 | LocalControlHeader features, it must be updated to use the new protocol (e.g., update |
| 37 | to use ndn-cxx >= 0.4.0) |
| 38 | |
| 39 | - Support for NDNLPv2 (http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/NDNLPv2, |
| 40 | :issue:`2520`, :issue:`2763`, :issue:`2841`) |
| 41 | |
| 42 | * Network NACK (:issue:`2883`) |
| 43 | |
| 44 | - Networking NACK in pipelines and best-route strategy (:issue:`3156`) |
| 45 | |
| 46 | - Refactored implementation of NFD management (:issue:`2200`, :issue:`2107`) |
| 47 | |
| 48 | - Interest forwarding processes Link included in interest packets (:issue:`3034`) |
| 49 | |
| 50 | .. note:: |
| 51 | This feature requires proper defintion of new ``tables.network_region`` section in |
| 52 | the NFD config file (:issue:`3159`) |
| 53 | |
| 54 | - Full support for UDP permanent faces (:issue:`2993`, :issue:`2989`, :issue:`3018`) |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Updates and bug fixes: |
| 57 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 58 | |
| 59 | - Display extended information for fatal NFD errors (:issue:`2541`) |
| 60 | |
| 61 | - Compilation fixes for clang-700.0.72 (Apple LLVM 7.0.0) (:issue:`3209`) |
| 62 | |
| 63 | - Properly handle exception from NetworkMonitor when the platform doesn't support it |
| 64 | (:issue:`3195`) |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Deprecated: |
| 67 | ^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 68 | |
| 69 | - BroadcastStrategy (``/localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast``) renamed as MulticastStrategy |
| 70 | (``/localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast``) (:issue:`3011`) |
| 71 | |
| 72 | Planned features for future releases: |
| 73 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 74 | |
| 75 | - Improvements and extension of NDNLPv2 support |
| 76 | |
| 77 | * New transports |
| 78 | * New link service implementation, including support for fragmentation and assembly |
| 79 | |
| 80 | - Improved support for automatic prefix propagation (:issue:`3211`, :issue:`2413`) |
