ndn-cxx version 0.4.0¶
Release date: December 31, 2015
Note
Version 0.4.0 introduces several breaking changes to API and wire format of management protocols
Changes since version 0.3.4:
New features:¶
- (breaking change) LocalControlHeader for special signaling between application and NFD has been replaced with NDNLPv2 signaling (issue #2879, issue #2930)
- NDNLPv2 Network NACK support in Face abstraction (issue #2930)
- (breaking change) FacePersistency field added to API and wire format of ControlParameters abstraction (issue #2991)
- (breaking change) NACK counters added to ForwarderStatus and FaceStatus datasets (issue #3174)
- Backport C++14
std::make_unique
(issue #3093) - Emulate
std::to_string
on platforms that do not provide it (issue #2743) - New API in Face class to remove all pending Interests (issue #3300)
- Ability to choose signing parameters (a specific certificate, the default certificate for a key, or the default certificate for the default key) using a specially URI string (issue #3281)
- Ability to create Face with custom IO service and default transport (issue #2500)
Improvements and bug fixes:¶
- (breaking change) SegmentFetcher helper changed to use asynchronous data validation (issue #2734)
- Support Interest Nack in nfd::Controller (issue #3264)
- Fix bug causing failure of Face if there is a large delay between construction of Face and calling processEvents (issue #2742, issue #2526)
- Cache Link object after the first call to getLink (issue #3158)
- Minor documentation updates (issue #3207, issue #3210, issue #3221)
Deprecated:¶
- Overloads of
Face::registerPrefix
andFace::setInterestFilter
that do not accept SigningInfo parameter (issue #2932) - tlvdump tool (issue #3196). Use
ndn-dissect
program from ndn-tools repository https://github.com/named-data/ndn-tools - ndn::util::makeDummyClientFace, use ndn::util::DummyClientFace constructors directly (issue #3146)
- ndn::util::DummyClientFace::sentDatas, use ndn::util::DummyClientFace.sentData instead (issue #3146)
Removed:¶
- Deprecated EventEmitter class (issue #2351)
Planned features for future releases:¶
- Introduce new API to simplify security transformations (issue #3009)
- NDN trust schema as a description of application trust model, which can help automate data and interest packet signing and authentication (issue #2829)
- Refactored KeyChain abstraction (issue #2926)
