Changes between 0.3.0 and 0.4.0:
--------------------------------
* The 'ping' responder in ccnd is deprecated. For compatibility, it is still
present by default, but further use should be phased out. The libraries
have been changed to use local service discovery instead. The java option
"org.ccnx.ping.timeout" is replaced by "org.ccnx.ccndid.timeout".
(100187, 100188, 100189)
* Responsibility for key saving has been shifted from the client library to
repo. The Java API did not change but, as the result of a protocol change,
the new library is not compatible with the old repo. (100288)
* The Java library now uses TCP to communicate with ccnd, rather than UDP,
to avoid problems and inefficiencies caused by UPD packet drops. (100078)
* An explicit lifetime element has been added to Interest messages in order
to give applications control of their timeouts. (100127)
* FlowControl addNameSpace is now logged at info in the constructor. (100180)
* ContentObjects are now created earlier to improve throughput by more
efficiently balancing tasks between different threads. (100197)
* Performance of writes has been improved by avoiding copies when the
application is only calling write with integral multiples of the segment
size. (100206)
* The ccnseqwriter command has been installed and documented. (100227)
* The traffic meters in the ccnd status display have been improved by
metering activity in both directions, splitting out by content/interest,
and showing rates as well as totals. (100256)
* Android ccnChat uses a multicast interface by default, which does not work
well in the emulator. To address this, an option to use a point-to-point
face has been added to the configuration screen. (100267)
* A sequence number has been added to each packet, encoded so that it is
distinguishable from interest and content packets, that allows the
receiving side to detect missing packets. (100275)
* The CommonOutput doPut() method now returns the version written so command
line utilities know the version name just created. In addition, logging in
the while() loop in do_write has been isolated for improved performance.
(100276)
* java.library.path and -Xcheck:jni are now forwarded to daemon (100279)
* Stream access for CCN segments has been added to the C library. (100283)
* Support was added to the library for splitting an interest when the
exclusion list gets too big. (100290)
* The ccncat command was converted to use the ccn_fetch library in order to
take advantage of pipelining. (100291)
* Efficiency of flow controller was improved with more fine grained locking.
(100299)
* Counters were added to the CCNNetworkManager to facilitate debugging.
(100300)
* stats and clearstats signals were added to Repo. (100302)
* A categorized statistics interface was added. (100306)
* The efficiency of getRegisteredPrefix was improved. (100309)
* An example of ccnb encoding of a data packet payload in Java was created.
(100312)
* The KeyDirectory class was split into a KeyDirectory base class and a
PrincipalKeyDirectory subclass to make the KeyDirectory structure
available for purposes other than Access Control. (100316)
* The HTTP proxy demo code was added. (100322)
* The performance of ContentName.fromURI() was improved. (100323)
* Facility-based logStackTrace and logException methods were added. (100326)
* Additional tests were added to verify that the InterestListener continues
to auto-refresh the interest even when an InterestFilter for the same exact
name as the InterestListener is closed on the same handle. (100327)
* Performance was improved for ContentName.componentParseURI(). (100331)
* A StatusResponse message type was added to allow such things as an error
response for prefix registrations. (100341)
* CCN_FORW_TAP was added to repo prefix registration. (100342)
* Repo no longer unnecessarily uses multiple Interest handlers. (100343)
* Implemented more useful interactions between forwarding flags. In
particular, the definition of CCN_FORW_TAP includes the provision that it
is not subject to capture, and flags that have an effect on the prefix as a
whole (including CCN_FORW_CAPTURE) do not change behavior depending on the
setting of CCN_FORW_ACTIVE. (100345)
* Synchronization in InterestTable was improved. (100353)
* CCNNetworkManager was updated to limit thread creation for handlers.
(100354)
* The following enhancements were made to ccntestloop: (100356)
- Accumulate testout directories outside of javasrc
- Read config via script
- Handle start/stop/restart/status verbs
- All output to files (when using start verb)
- Handle kill better
- Record pid
- Allow configuration of port range
* Instances of ccnd are now allocated dynamically to allow more testing
flexibility. (100363)
* The log command in utilities now sets the level for all facilities.
(100364)
* Java interest handling code now has a log facility. (100366)
* A Java library routine that sets the ccnd caches stale has been created to
ensure that readbacks are actually from repo and not from the cache.
(100367)
* Logging between CCNNetworkManagers and CCNNetworkChannel has been made
unique. Note that there is no relationship between CCNNetworkManager ids
and Channel ids. (100432)
* openssl for Android builds are now based on 1.0.0d. (100438)
* ccnChat was updated to publish its keys under the chat channel namespace.
(100439)
* A testing framework was added to make assertions in child threads
catchable. (100454)
* ccnd is now able to sense the presence of other end (i.e., to distinguish
between loss of connection and simple lack of incoming data). (100461)
* Added a junit to check that prefixes are as expected in the FIB when
doing localRepoSync. (100464)
* [Support] Instructions in the README for ccnchat were enhanced. (100338)
* [Support] Description of forwarding flags used in
ccn_set_interest_filter_with_flags (100467)
* Issues Resolved:
* Bug 100091 Long running java applications can't recover from ccnd restart
* Bug 100094 infinite loop building wireshark plugin
* Bug 100196 SecureKeyCache debug output incorrectly describes output

did not proceed properly"
* Bug 100255 Typo in doc/technical/InterestMessage.txt
* Bug 100257 Error messages from ccndc are inscrutable

Changes between 0.2.0 and 0.3.0:
--------------------------------
* Android support. This release includes support for Android 2.1 platform
development. (100246)
* Self-registration protocol. This functionality allows clients to register
the prefixes for interests they wish to receive. (100071, 100072, 100073)
The old form of self-registration (operating on the prefix
ccnx:/ccnx/reg/self) has been removed. (100114)
* Prefix registration on incoming connections. For a ccnd to act as a hub
(as in a hub-and-spoke configuration) there needs to be a way to get prefix
registration on incoming connections. Eventually, routing agents will
perform this operation. This implementation retains the 'flooding' behavior
of earlier releases for selected prefixes. NOTE: this requires explicit
additional configuration via CCND_AUTOREG setting. (100225)
* ccnd_destroy(). This functionality provides improved flexibility beyond
exit() to free up all resources. (100051)
* destroyface(). Implementation of the previously documented functionality.
(100068)
* ccnChat improvements:
* This release changes ccnchat() to display user friendly names instead
of partial key digest (100214).
* ccnchat is refactored to be re-usable, called from the ccnChat.java GUI
and the ccnChatNet.java module. It is also available on the command line:
bin/ccnchat -text namespace
(100234).
* ccnchat now verifies the first packet: if verification fails, it rejects
that version and looks for a later one. (100163)
* Performance improvements in CCNNetworkObject. This release includes a
revamp of the network objects including a few major API changes (100088):
* Write constructors create flow controllers at construction time, leaving
lazy creation for read constructors. Write constructors make/take a FC
start listening for interests for their base name immediately (if they
know it)
* The repository is the default behavior for network objects, rather than
"raw".
* Support a customized DTAG dictionary. This release changes the
ccn_ccnbtoxml and ccn_xmltoccnb tools so that a customized dictionary could
be provided at runtime; this enables the tools to be used for protocols
that live outside of the CCNx base. (100129)
* Key naming. This release defines the KeyProfile (100055) and uses it for
key ids, guids, and other component types (100131). This change is
incompatible with existing header naming; backward compatibility is enabled
by default.
* Still-pending interests behavior. This release changes how ccnd keeps track
of the outbound faces for an interest. In the new representation,
pe->outbound is kept in send order instead of the reverse, and the new
index pe->sent is advanced as the faces are used. This leaves a trail of
the faces that have been used already, giving more flexibility in altering
the outbound list to the right of pe->sent. (100103)
* Repository publishes public key. Any app that wants to depend on name
enumeration, checked writes, etc, needs to be able to validate who a
repository is. This release includes publishing the repository key using
localhost key discovery, making it easier to configure where the repository
publishes its key. (100144)
* javax.xml streams. Removed as many dependencies as possible such that their
use is isolated to the text xml encoder/decoder. (100053)
* Access control to stream/object encryption. The access control system
allows you to assign keys to content/recipients, and automatically retrieve
keys. In this release, the output and input streams (and the network
objects that use them) retrieve keys and automatically encrypt content.
(100063)
* Bulk import to repo. This release supports bulk importing of a sequence of
content objects (data) from a file in a single operation. The file must
contain content objects in wire format. The repository can incorporate the
file as a new storage file directly if that is compatible with its store
format. (100210)
* Local repo save and save-type override. This release supports objects and
streams to be written to a local (same device) repo (100213). In addition,
it implements an environment variable to allow objects to be saved in a
local repository even if they were generically coded to be written to
any/multiple repos (100223).
* Localhost tcp peers considered friendly. Now ccnd considers tcp connections
from localhost to be "friendly" and only considers incoming localhost udp
traffic to be "friendly" if it starts out with a heartbeat packet. (100120)
* Next-neighbor scope. For applications that want to be assured that they are
communicating only with immediately neighboring machines, this release
defines a new allowed Scope value in the interests. (Scope = 2) (100123)
* EnumeratedNameList methods. This release includes methods to replace
deprecated methods in EnumeratedNameList. (100230)
* Capture-prefix flag. In the FIB, if a shorter registration has the
CCN_FORW_CHILD_INHERIT set, a registration for a longer match can't be used
to prevent the interest from being propagated. This release includes a flag
that can be applied on the longer prefix to override the effect of
CHILD_INHERIT on the shorted prefixes. (100116)
* Prefix registration using a ContentName. In this release, the
PrefixRegistrationManager accepts a ContentName object for the prefix to
register in addition to a URI encoded string. (100186)
* Multicast traffic. ccnd is now able to set up multicast using the standard
ccnd socket. This involved changing the way ccnd keeps track of the sending
side when the multicast cannot be done using a single socket. Instead of
keeping 2 fds per face, ccnd now keeps 1 fd and a faceid to be used for
datagram sends. Because the faceids are never reused, the bookkeeping
becomes simpler.
A user-visible side effect of this is that there are now
faces visible in the status display that are not used for ccnx traffic.
These represent the stream listeners and the datagram sockets that are
shared among other faces. They carry the face flag CCN_FACE_PASSIVE.
(100135)
* Timeouts. Timeouts are now settable for situations which may require longer
than usual timeouts. (100153)
* Key cache. You can set a variable to control whether or not to save/load
the key cache. This variable is set to false by default. (100154)
* ccn directory location. libccn now uses the CCNX_DIR environment variable.
(100026)
* Compatibility with openssl-1.0.0beta4 and following. ccn is now compatible
with the STACK_OF macro and related changes in the OpenSSL code. (100095)
* Local service discovery protocol. This release introduces the
CCN_FORW_LOCAL forwarding flag. The presence of this flag in a FIB entry
marks the namespace as local to the host (more specifically, to apps
directly connected to the ccnd in question). This is in support of
implementing a host-local namespace useful for local service discovery.
The ccnd does its best to make sure that content within such a namespace
comes only from local apps, and is delivered only to local apps.
There is one known flaw in the current implementation, namely that an
off-machine attacker could cause a stale content object in the local
space to become fresh again. To do this, the attacker would have to
already have a copy of the C.O., which was supposed to be machine-local.
Thus there must also be some collusion going on for this to happen.
(100134)
* Logging changes. This release includes a number of changes to logging
configuration and content:
* Log messages use the facility name for the logger name instead of
org.ccnx.ccn.CCNHandle for everything. This change makes it easier to
find specific facility related messages in large log files. The
DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS must be a prefix in the Logging namespace of
the other loggers so that they inherit the handlers added to it. (100185)
* ccntestloop now keeps logs for failed runs and the last few successes,
and deletes the rest. (100220)
* This release allows you to reduce the number of messages produced by
ccndstart.sh: specify CND_LOG for ccndstart so ccndstart will discard
messages about stuffing the cache. (100069)
* Stream open/close events are now logged. (100181)
* FAC_USERxx facility names include more complete logging. (100183)
* Many small bug fixes to address issues with tests.
* Clarity and documentation: The RepositoryDataListener method and variable
names better reflect the current functionality (100216); there is now a
manpage entry for ccndstatus (100232).
* Interests. Bugs fixed for interest handling behavior include:
* Repo generating new responses to ccnls interests (100102)
* Java library sending explicit AnswerOriginKind in interests, using the
default value (100106)
* Change default behavior for ccnput command to wait for interest (100117)
* ccnd occasionally retransmits interest (spurious interest re-expression
fixed) (100121)
* ccnd can occasionally fail to remove interests from prefix table
(100226)
* Pipeline fixes. The release includes the following fixes in the area of
pipelining data segments:
* MetadataProfile getLatestVersion() will no longer append a version based
on the current time if there is no version found in the network in the
passed-in timeout (100233)
* Pipeline code sent the first segment interest when version was not known
yet (100141)
* Pipelining initialization problem: Some timing circumstances caused
pipelining to hang (100194)
* Repo pipelining now issues new interest before processing received
content
failed verification and advancing the pipeline (100221)
* Streaming fixes. The release includes the following fixes in the area of
streaming data:
* CCNAbstractInputStream now uses Long instead of String for readerReady
(100204)
* NullOutputStream now provides byte string methods to reduce call
overhead (100212)
* Input streams now call close() and close() shuts down pipelining and
closes any headers that might be retrieved (or attempted). (100235)
* ccn_resolve_version(). The exclude filter is now fixed to always return the
highest version; ccn_resolve_version() returns quickly if a version is
already present.
* Repo FreshnessSeconds. This release increases the FreshnessSeconds on
repository startWrite() response to 12 sec from 1 sec so transactional data
are not held for a long time in ccnd. (100139)
* Issues Resolved:
* Bug #100012 java ContentObject code calculates digest on content only
* Bug #100018 content explorer takes exception when there is no repo
* Bug #100044 ccnget -c returns incorrect status
* Bug #100061 ccnd Exclude processing needs performance improvement
* Bug #100066 unsolicited content should not cause ccnd to toss good
content
* Bug #100074 ccn_initkeystore.sh fails if $USER is not set
* Bug #100076 Use of $$ in csrc/tests/test-* considered harmful
* Bug #100085 ccnchat doesn't work with java 1.5 by default
* Bug #100090 Java ContentType definition for ENCR does not match the one
in ccn.h
* Bug #100093 seg fault in ccndc
* Bug #100098 ccnchat gets illegalArgumentException for empty line
* Bug #100099 Implement unreg action in ccnd - unregister prefix
* Bug #100108 Some system loggers can't handle log parameters
* Bug #100109 Java prefix registration should not use interest nonces
* Bug #100110 ccnd blocks when attempting a connect
* Bug #100113 ccnd does not allow clearing of flags in FIB
* Bug #100124 Logging can cause repository to deadlock
* Bug #100126 Java header creation inconsistent with ccnx.xsd header schema
* Bug #100130 ccnsendchunks / ccncatchunks block size problems
* Bug #100136 Nonce-based interest suppression in ccd is incomplete
* Bug #100137 The handling of responses from the ccnd internal client does
not cope with multiple messages in the buffer, causing them
to be discarded.
* Bug #100151 All Repo related logging should use FAC_REPO
* Bug #100176 EnumeratedNameList.getNewData only gets data once
* Bug #100179 ServiceKeyDiscoveryTest hardwires data writing into "."
* Bug #100184 getLatestVersion resets the attempt time
* Bug #100191 Java ForwardingEntry object validation is incorrect
* Bug #100200 The constructor for PublisherPublicKeyDigest(String) should
raise an exception if the string is not a proper base64Binary
encoding. Both that and the PublisherPublicKeyDigest(byte [])
constructor should probably raise an exception if the input
is too long, rather than silently truncating.
* Bug #100208 It is possible for WaitForPutDrain to go into an endless loop
rather than throwing an exception when the buffer hasn't been
drained correctly.
* Bug #100231 Fix ccndc delete command to correctly remove prefix
registration rather than attempting to destroy a face.
* Bug #100240 Java library missing some forwarding flag definitions
* Bug #100244 CCNNetworkManager code should log using FAC_NETMANAGER
facility
* Bug #100252 Reduce number of writing threads in network manager
Changes between 0.1.2 and 0.2.0:
--------------------------------
NOTE: 0.2.0 introduces some changes to the core CCNx protocol, most notably
a change in the definition of ephemeral digests.
* The implicit digest component used as the last component in the
name of a ContentObject, used in Links and Exclude filters,
now use the digest of the entire encoded ContentObject, rather than
merely the digest of the CO's content field. This allows exclusion of inadvertent or
malicious traffic with the same name and content but different signing information
from the intended traffic. Described in doc/technical/DigestComponent.txt
* Removed dependency on javax.xml.streams. Replaced with stream-based XML Pull
parser as implemented in the kXML library (http://kxml.sourceforge.net/).
This removes the JDK 1.5-specific requirement for JSR 173 jars; JDK 1.5 users
can delete jsr173.jar and jsr173_ri.jar from their lib directories.
* Repositories now have their own key pairs, rather than using the user's default
key. This will enable policy-related communication with the repo and more
sophisticated, multi-repository name enumeration protocols.
* Implementation of the registration protocol, which allows clients to register
with ccnd the prefixes for Interests they wish to receive, is well under way
(see issues #100071, #100072, #100073). Until this code is stable, we will
retain the default Interest flooding behavior.
* Initial version of Java-based registration control client, ccndcontrol, analogous
to ccndc.
* Added new ccnFileProxy application, and start script bin/ccnfileproxy; this
proxies a specified portion of local file space to CCNx. Note that the proxy currently
does not respect access controls, and will make all files it can read available.
* Logging cleanups and improvements throughout.
* Bump CCN_API_VERSION to 2000.
* Make a more palatable C API for signing content objects; see ccn_sign_content(...).
* Fix -v handling for ccnputfile.
* Remove troublesome uses of $$ in csrc/tests/test_* (Bug #100076)
* Fix ccn_initkeystore.sh to not rely on $USER. Use the id command instead.
* Start to make configuration settings more robust to platform variations; improved
options for controlling KEYSTORE_DIRECTORY, CCN_DIR and username.
* Fix ccnd to verify the signatures in face management and registration requests.
* Added a C library mechanism for obtaining ccndid, needed by self-registration.
* Allow ccndsmoketest to send zero-length datagrams if so instructed.
* Remove unused ccn_signed_info_create_default() from API.
* Add vlc parameters to control:
ccn-fifo-maxblocks -- the maximum number of blocks held in the FIFO
ccn-fifo-blocksize -- the size of blocks queued in the FIFO
* Improved vlc plugin to use data prefetching, and attempt reconnection when
disconnected from ccnd.
* Make the XML jar file a property so it can be overriden on the command
line if using different library.
* Cleanup, bug fixes and additional tests for access control code.
* Many small bugfixes to address issues with tests.
* Issues Resolved:
* Feature #100010 Change implicit digest component
* Bug #100012 java ContentObject code calculates digest on content only
* Bug #100020 repo policy files should be able to span multiple ContentObjects

* Bug #100076 Use of $$ in csrc/tests/test-* considered harmful
* Bug #100077 Please write some more code here (reduced debugging output)
* Bug #100079 ccnputfile does not write any segments for zero-length files
* Bug #100083 ccnd not listening to both ipv4 and ipv6 tcp addresses on Linux
Known issues:
* intermittent Java test failures, usually around failure to retrieve
segments; there is work in process that we expect will
fix most of these
* intermittent failures of the C test test_destroyface
* intermittent JVM crashes on Java 1.5 on OSX Leopard
* the default ant/jUnit on Solaris 11 doesn't work; you need to
copy over the ant-junit.jar from /usr/grails/1.0.3/ant/lib/ant-junit.jar
to /usr/share/lib/ant/ant-junit.jar
Changes between 0.1.1 and 0.1.2:
--------------------------------
NOTE: ccnChat will not inter-operate with older versions due to fix for #100030.

BouncyCastle and configurations with varied crypto support. Also improved
handling of crypto providers.
* Added stopall argument to ccn_repo command to stop all running repos on

intermittent bugs.
* Bugs have been fixed in org.ccnx.ccn.test.io.content.CCNNetworkObjectTest,
CCNNetworkObjectTestRepo.
* ccnls now prints a usage message if not given useful input (#100004).

the Eclipse projects from files in the distribution to get the cross-references.
* The BinaryEncoding and SignatureGeneration technical documentation has been slightly
repaired.

random access performance for streams without significant security penalty. (#100007).
* ContentExplorer now handles errors better and has fewer blocking threads and new UI
menu options that are not fully implemented.
Version 0.1.0:
--------------
Initial public release.
