NFD version 0.3.0¶
Release date: February 2, 2015
Changes since version 0.2.0:
New features:¶
Build
- The code now requires C++11. The minimum supported gcc version is 4.6, as earlier versions do not have proper support for C++11 features.
Faces
- Enable detection of WebSocket connection failures using ping/pong messages (issue #1903)
- In EthernetFace:
- Avoid putting the NIC in promiscuous mode if possible (issue #1278)

Forwarding
- Strategy versioning (issue #1893)

- Abstract retransmission suppression logic (issue #2377)
- New forwarding strategy for access router (issue #1999)
Management
Add config file-based strategy selection (issue #2053)
The sample config file now includes strategy selection for
/
,/localhost
,/localhost/nfd
, and/ndn/broadcast
namespaces as follows:tables { ... strategy_choice { / /localhost/nfd/strategy/best-route /localhost /localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast /localhost/nfd /localhost/nfd/strategy/best-route /ndn/broadcast /localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast } }
Implement Query Operation in FaceManager (issue #1993)
FaceManager now responds with producer-generated NACK when query is invalid (issue #1993)
Add functionality for automatic remote prefix registration (issue #2056)
Only canonical FaceUri are allowed in faces/create commands (issue #1910)
Tables
