ndn-cxx version 0.6.2

Release date: May 4, 2018

New features

• Initial support for NDN packet format version 0.3 (issue #4527)

  • Recognize typed name components, allow typed name component in FinalBlockId (issue #4526)

  • Recognize Interest in Packet Format v0.3 (issue #4527)

    In this release, Interest::wireDecode accepts both v0.2 and v0.3 formats, but Interest::wireEncode only encodes into v0.2 format. A future release of the library will switch the encoding to v0.3 format.

  • Recognize Data in Packet Format v0.3 (issue #4568)

    In this release, Data::wireDecode accepts both v0.2 and v0.3 formats, but Data::wireEncode only encodes into v0.2 format. A future release of the library will switch the encoding to v0.3 format.

• Library support for cs/erase command of NFD Management (issue #4318)

• A convenience function to print out Block structures (issue #2225)

Improvements and bug fixes

• Change encoding of NDNLPv2 sequence number from nonNegativeInteger to fixed-width integer (8 bytes in network order) (issue #4403)

• Fix compilation with Boost 1.67 (issue #4584)

• Upgrade build environment to latest version of waf and other improvements

• Logging system improvements (issue #4552)

Deprecated

• Selectors (issue #4527)

  NDN Packet Format v0.3 replaces Selectors with CanBePrefix and MustBeFresh elements. This commit deprecates getter/setter for Selectors in Interest class. Getter/setter for CanBePrefix and MustBeFresh are mapped to the closest v0.2 semantics and encoded as selectors.

• Data::get/setFinalBlockId() in favor of Data::get/setFinalBlock()
