ndn-cxx 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.
- Base
- Enable detailed version information when built from shallow clone or tarball (Issue #1915)
- Make default transport configurable (Issue #2189)
- Add ability to do partial Name comparison (Issue #2090)
- Security
- Add support for KeyDigest key locator (Issue #1426)
- Add a method to get KeyDigest from a PublicKey instance (Issue #1964)
- Add support for KeyChain to sign Interest using SHA256 digest (Issue #2218)
- Add
ndnsec-dsk-gen
tool to generate a pair of Data-Signing-Key (DSK) for the specified identity (Issue #2246) - Pair-up PIB and TPM in KeyChain: PIB remembers the last used TPM type/location, which is used during KeyChain construction (unless overriden) (Issue #2242)
- Wire encoding
- Add support for application-defined meta information blocks (Issue #2021)
- Introduce new
name::Component::is*
methods to allow checking if the name component follows the specific naming convention without relying on the exception handling (Issue #2088) - Add definition of producer-generated NACK (Issue #2111)
- Add
std::hash<Name>
specialization to supportunordered_map
container (Issue #2147) - Add support for ImplicitSha256DigestComponent (Issue #1640)
- Allow tagging Interest and Data packets with arbitrary information (Issue #2336)
- Management
- Support NFD face query operation (Issue #2085)
- Miscellaneous tools
- Add a new helper to calculate digests over dynamic inputs (Issue #1934)
- Add DNS resolver helper (Issue #1918)
- Import and re-license Ethernet and FaceUri classes from NFD codebase, add FaceUri
canonization support for
udp
,tcp
, andether
schemas (Issue #1994) - Add per-application in-memory storage with LRU, LFU, and FIFO replacement policies (Issue #1940)
- Add ability to specialize system and steady clocks (e.g., for unit tests and simulation purposes) (Issue #2158)
- Expose DummyClientFace as public API
- New IndentedStream helper class to simplify writing to streams with the specified indents or prefixes (Issue #2238)
- New Signal class template as an enhanced version of the deprecated EventEmitter (Issue #2279)
- New scheduler::ScopedEventId helper to automatically cancel scheduled events upon destruction (Issue #2442)
- New NetworkMonitor helper to detect network state changes (Issue #2443)
Updates and bug fixes:¶
- Base
- Prevent flags being set for rib/unregister command (Issue #1945)
- Fix segfault caused by Face::unregisterPrefix when registeredPrefixId does not exist
- Add explicit internal KeyChain to Face class. KeyChain previously existed in the Face as part of NFD controller class. (Issue #2039)
- Properly disable assertions in release builds (Issue #2135)
- Connect to Transport during construction of Face instance (Issue #2318)
- Wire encoding
- Fix segfault when decoding empty Exclude element (Issue #1970)
- Provide EqualityComparable concept for Exclude element
- Correct Marker in Name::appendVersion() (Issue #2086)
- Ensure that wire-encoding errors are inherited from
tlv::Error
(Issue #1983)
- Management
- Replace FaceFlags with individual fields in face management data structures (Issue #1992)
ndn::nfd::Controller
extended to allow generating ControlCommand for remote prefix registration (Issue #2039)- Change
ForwarderStatus.NfdVersion
to string (Issue #2003)
- Security
- Fix
ndnsec-cert-gen
to correctly infer prefix before KEY component (Issue #2052) - Help message corrections in
ndnsec-cert-dump
,ndnsec-cert-gen
, andndnsec-key-gen
(Issue #2052) - Accept
--sign-id
and--cert-prefix
inndnsec-cert-revoke
(Issue #2058) - Changes output format of
ndnsec-cert-revoke
to base64 encoding (Issue #2059) - Add a new (safer) option to
ndnsec-cert-gen
allowing inclusion of additional information blocks into the certificate. The new--signed-info
parameter makes minimum assumptions, treating text before first space as OID and the rest as the associated string with this OID. - Make Face optional in Validator class (Issue #2124)
- Display signature information when printing a certificate (Issue #2196)
- Handle certificate decoding error in validation process (Issue #2212)
- Fix segmentation fault in
ndnsec-sign-req
(Issue #2211) - Allow verbose option in
ndnsec-list
(Issue #2197) - Allow generation of DSK using
ndnsec-key-gen
(Issue #2247) - Allow
ndnsec-key-gen
to generate ECDSA keys (Issue #2248) - Fix memory leak in SecPublicInfoSqlite3 (Issue #2253)
- Properly report status of
ndnsec-delete
execution (Issue #2275)
- Fix
- Miscellaneous tools
- Fix incorrect tag map in
tlvdump
tool - Change to default resolver behavior in util::dns::Resolver (Issue #2415)
- Fix incorrect tag map in
- Documentation
- Update of tutorials and installation instructions
- Rename manpage of
client.conf
tondn-client.conf
(Issue #1967) - Updated and extended ndn-cxx code style:
- add rules for some C++11 constructs
- prefer
BOOST_ASSERT
andstatic_assert
- Improve example applications (Issue #1976)
- Tests
- Improve security unit test cases (Issue #1683)
- Embedding CI build and test running scripts into the repository
- Partial unit test coverage for Face class (previously covered only by integration tests) (Issue #1947)
- Improve stability of unit tests by using UnitTestTime (wall clock independent time) (Issue #2152)
- Build
- Redesign the way default compiler flags are determined (Issue #2209)
- Support tools and examples with multiple translation units (Issue #2344)
- Disable installation of internal headers and headers of the disabled components (Issue #2266, and Issue #2269)
- Enable conditional compilation based on presence of
getpass()
function
- Other minor fixes and corrections
