-ndn-cxx version 0.3.3 (changes since version 0.3.2)
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-Release date: July 1, 2015
-
-New features:
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- Allow compilation of ndn-cxx as a shared library (:issue:`2243`)
-
- In this release, by default, only a static library is compiled. The next release will change
- the default behavior to compile only a shared library.
-
-- Introduce concept of PartialName (:issue:`1962`)
-
- Semantically, PartialName abstraction represents an arbitrary sequence of name components,
- while Name represents an absolute name. Currently, PartialName is typedef alias to Name, but
- it can be changed in the future releases.
-
-- Introduce generalized signing API in KeyChain (:issue:`2871`, :issue:`1705`)
-
- A new API in KeyChain introduces a general interface to sign interest and data packets and
- supply necessary signing information, such as signing identity name, signing key name, or
- signing certificate name. In addition, the supplied signing information can include additional
- information that signer wants to include in the SignatureInfo of the signed packet.
-
-- Introduce helpers to create SigningInfo for the generalized signing API (:issue:`2922`)
-
-- Sqlite3Statement utility helper that wraps an SQLite3 statements and provide automatic memory
- cleanup
-
-- Introduce PibSqlite3 based on PibImpl (:issue:`2807`)
-
-- Make public interface of Pib, Identity, and Key as read-only (:issue:`2928`)
-
-- New encoding block helpers to simplify operations with ``std::string`` (:issue:`2951`):
-
- * ``prependStringBlock``
- * ``makeStringBlock``
- * ``readString``
-
-Improvements and bug fixes:
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- Use C++11 lambda expression and smart pointers in Face implementation (:issue:`2112`)
-
-- Fix compilation failure on OS X 10.10 with cryptopp from MacPorts
-
-- Update client.conf manpage
-
-- Change Name::compare to return negative, zero, or positive integer (instead of strictly -1,
- 0, 1) when the first name comes before the other in canonical ordering, is equal, or comes
- after (:issue:`2445`)
-
-- IdentityCertificate sets default FreshnessPeriod to 1 hour (:issue:`2872`)
-
-- Unify TPM creation (:issue:`2722`)
-
-- Allow negative start index in Name::getSubName method (:issue:`1962`)
-
-- Improved documentation of PibImpl interfaces (:issue:`2896`, :issue:`2898`)
-
-- Simplify CommandOptions with SigningInfo (:issue:`2893`)
-
-- Refactor internal PIT to use scheduled events (:issue:`1372`, :issue:`2518`)
-
-- Improve structure and documentation of block helpers (:issue:`2951`)
-
-- Declare all move constructors as ``noexcept`` to ensure move operations are used even when a
- restrictive move operation (`move_if_noexcept`) is used (e.g., in STL library's containers)
- (:issue:`2966`)
-
-Deprecated:
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- The following ``KeyChain::sign*`` methods, in favor of generalized ``KeyChain::sign(..., SigningInfo)``

- * ``KeyChain::signByIdentity(uint8_t*, size_t, Name)``
- * ``KeyChain::signWithSha256(Data)``
- * ``KeyChain::signWithSha256(Interest)``
-
-- The following encoding block helper functions:
-
- * ``nonNegativeIntegerBlock`` (use ``makeNonNegativeIntegerBlock``)
- * ``prependBooleanBlock`` (use ``prependEmptyBlock``)
- * ``booleanBlock`` (use ``makeEmptyBlock``)
- * ``dataBlock`` (use ``makeBinaryBlock``)
- * ``nestedBlock`` (use ``makeNestedBlock``)
-
-- The following methods of ``CommandOptions`` class, use ``setSigningInfo()`` instead (:issue:`2893`):
-
- * ``CommandOptions::getSigningParamsKind``
- * ``CommandOptions::getSigningIdentity``
- * ``CommandOptions::getSigningCertificate``
- * ``CommandOptions::setSigningDefault``
- * ``CommandOptions::setSigningIdentity``
- * ``CommandOptions::setSigningCertificate``
-
-Removed:
-^^^^^^^^
-
-- Remove SCOPE from Interests and all references to it in the related code (:issue:`2345`)
-
-- Direct FIB management in Face class (:issue:`2533`)

- prefixes and regular expressions.
-
- * Separated :ndn-cxx:`Face::registerPrefix()` and :ndn-cxx:`Face::setInterestFilter()`
- methods allow distinct operations of registering with the local NDN forwarder and setting
- up application-specific ``OnInterest`` call dispatch using InterestFilters.

-
-- ``CommandInterestGenerator`` and ``CommandInterestValidator`` utility classes.
- :ndn-cxx:`ValidatorConfig` should be used instead.
-
-Removed:
-^^^^^^^^
-
-- support of ndnd-tlv (only NFD management protocol is supported now)
-
-- ``SecPublicInfoMemory`` and ``SecTpmMemory`` classes that were no longer used
-
-- Removing concept of periodic event from :ndn-cxx:`Scheduler`.
-
- In applications, periodic events should be just re-scheduled within the callback for
- single-shot events.

-
-ndn-cxx version 0.1.0
-+++++++++++++++++++++
-
-Release date: May 7, 2014
-
-Version 0.1.0 is the initial release of ndn-cxx, an NDN C++ library with eXperimental
-eXtensions.
-
-Originally based on `ndn-cpp library <https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cpp>`_ the ndn-cxx
-library adopts a slightly different design philosophy (including an extensive use of Boost
-libraries to facilitate development, as well as the use of Crypto++ library to support
-cryptographic operations), and includes a number of extensions that aim to simplify NDN
-application development.
-
-The current features include:
-
-- **Base**
-
- + Fully asynchronous, event-driven communication model, which is implemented using `Boost.Asio
- <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html>`_
- + Single-threaded, but thread-safe Face operations
-
- A single Face object can be safely used in multiple threads to express Interests and
- publish Data packets
-
- + Explicit time management for NDN operations using `Boost.Chrono
- <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/chrono.html>`_
- + Simplified and extended `NDN API <doxygen/annotated.html>`_
- + Extensive set of unit-tests based on `Boost.Test framework
- <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html>`_
-
- - Continuous integration using an in-house installation of Jenkins build bots and the
- hosted `Travis CI <https://travis-ci.org/named-data/ndn-cxx>`_ continuous
- integration service compile and verify correctness of the library for each commit
-
-- **Wire format**
-
- + Full support of `NDN-TLV packet format v0.1 <http://named-data.net/doc/NDN-TLV/0.1/>`_
- + Pure C++ implementation of wire encoding/decoding with simple access to wire format
- of all NDN packet abstractions via ``wireEncode`` and ``wireDecode`` methods
-
- In many cases, NDN packet abstractions are just "indices" to the wire format
-
-- **Communication with the forwarder**
-
- + Enable connecting to local forwarder via UNIX and TCP transports and to remote
- forwarders using TCP transport
- + Full support for communication with `Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon (NFD)
- <https://github.com/named-data/NFD>`_
-
- - Full support for `NFD management protocols
- <http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/Management>`_ to NFD status
- information, create and manage NFD Faces, receive NFD Face status change
- notifications, update StrategyChoice for namespaces, and manage routes in RIB
- - Support for `LocalControlHeader
- <http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/LocalControlHeader>`_ to implement
- special NDN applications that need low-level control of NDN packet forwarding
-
-- **Security support**
-
- + A set of security primitives to allowing implementation of secure NDN applications in
- a simplified manner
-
- - **KeyChain**: provides simple interfaces of packet signing, and key and certificate
- management
- - **ValidatorConfig**: validator that implements trust model defined in a configuration
- file
- - **CommandInterestGenerator** and **CommandInterestValidator**: convenient helpers to produce
- and validate command interests, while preventing potential replay attacks
-
- + Several implementations of trusted platform modules to securely manage private keys
-
- - **SecTpmOsx**: TPM based on OSX KeyChain (OSX-specific)
- - **SecTpmFile**: TPM that uses file-based access control to protect keys (cross-platform)
-
- + Extensive set of security command-line tools to manage security identities and certificates
-
- - Generating private/public keys
- - Issuing certificates
- - Exporting/importing identities
- - Managing default security settings
-
-- **Miscellaneous tools**
-
- + Scheduler to support delayed time operations
- + NDN regular expressions
- + Simple config file to alter various aspects of the library
- + **tlvdump**: a simple tool to visualize TLV-encoded blocks
