Changes since version 0.3.3
Release date: August 31, 2015
New features:
- Boolean Face property IsOnDemand has been replaced with multistate
FacePersistency property (Issues 2989 and 3018): persistent (Face
exists as long as there are no system or socket errors), on-demand
(Face is removed after inactivity period), and permanent (Face
exists unless explicitly destroyed by the management).
Currently, only UDP faces are allowed to be permanent. However,
management interface to create UDP permanent faces or switch UDP to
permanent state will be available in the next release (Issue 2991).
- Least Recently Used policy for Content Store (Issue 2219)
Currently, changing the policy requires a minor change in NFD source
code. Configuration interface is coming in the next release (Issue
3148)
Updates and bug fixes:
- Update of NDN Essential Tools to version 0.2 with code improvements
and the following new tools:
- PIB service to manage the public information of keys and publish
certificates (Issue 3018)
- A Wireshark dissector for NDN packets (Issue 3092)
- RibManager constructor now accepts KeyChain as a parameter,
preparing it for simplifying implementation with the new
ndn::Dispatcher class (Issue 2390)
- Fix HTML rendering of nfd-status-http-server output in some browsers
(Issue 3019)
- Enable automatic re-creation of multicast faces when network
connectivity changes (Issue 2460)
- Enhance exception throwing with Boost Exception library (Issue 2541)
Deprecated:
- BroadcastStrategy (/localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast) renamed as
MulticastStrategy (/localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast) (Issue 3011)
Upcoming features (partially finished in development branches):
- NDNLPv2 (http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/NDNLPv2,
Issues 2520, 2879, 2763, 2883, 2841, 2866)
- Refactored implementation of NFD management (Issues 2200, 2107)
