| 2 | +----------------- |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +*Release date: July 28, 2024* |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +Important changes and new features |
| 7 | +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- The build dependencies have been increased as follows: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + - GCC >= 9.3 or Clang >= 7.0 are strongly *recommended* on Linux; GCC 8.x is also known |
| 12 | + to work but is not officially supported |
| 13 | + - Xcode 13 or later is *recommended* on macOS; older versions may still work but are not |
| 14 | + officially supported |
| 15 | + - Boost >= 1.71.0 is *required* on all platforms |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble), Debian 12 (Bookworm), and macOS 14 (Sonoma) are now officially supported |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- Added an official Dockerfile to the repository. From this Dockerfile, the following images are |
| 20 | + currently published to the GitHub container registry: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + - `named-data/nfd <https://github.com/named-data/NFD/pkgs/container/nfd>`__ |
| 23 | + - `named-data/nfd-autoreg <https://github.com/named-data/NFD/pkgs/container/nfd-autoreg>`__ |
| 24 | + - `named-data/nfd-status-http-server <https://github.com/named-data/NFD/pkgs/container/nfd-status-http-server>`__ |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + All images are available for *linux/amd64* and *linux/arm64* platforms. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +- The default Unix socket path changed to ``/run/nfd/nfd.sock`` on Linux and to |
| 29 | + ``/var/run/nfd/nfd.sock`` on all other platforms (:issue:`5304`) |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +- Introduced a new strategy trigger :nfd:`onInterestLoop <Strategy::onInterestLoop>` that is |
| 32 | + invoked when a duplicate Interest is received. The default behavior (sending a Nack packet) |
| 33 | + remains unchanged except for the Multicast strategy, which will now suppress the Nack |
| 34 | + transmission in this case (:issue:`5278`) |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +- Multiple updates to the ASF forwarding strategy to more closely adhere to the behavior |
| 37 | + described in the published technical report (:issue:`5310`) |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- The ASF strategy gained support for Nack propagation (:issue:`5311`) |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +- The default port number of ``nfd-status-http-server`` changed to 6380 |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Improvements and bug fixes |
| 44 | +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +- Several stability improvements in the face system, especially around error handling in |
| 47 | + multicast faces and :nfd:`UnixStreamChannel` (:issue:`5030`, :issue:`5297`) |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- Refactor and improve logging in forwarding core and strategies (:issue:`5262`, :issue:`5267`) |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- Fix missing increment of ``nOutNacks`` counter when sending a Nack from ``onInterestLoop`` |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +- Optimize the removal of PIT in-records |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +- Move RIB unit tests into ``unit-tests-daemon`` and eliminate the ``unit-tests-rib`` binary |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +- Fix building the documentation with Python 3.12 (:issue:`5298`) |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +- Reduce amount of debugging information produced in compiled binaries by default (:issue:`5279`) |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +- Update waf build system to version 2.0.27 |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +- Various code cleanups, modernizations, and documentation improvements |
