Named Data Networking (NDN) Project Newsletter for October 2017

The NDN project team compiles and publishes this newsletter periodically
to inform the community about recent activities, technical news,
meetings, publications, presentations, code releases, and upcoming
events. You can find these newsletters posted on the Named Data
Networking Project blog.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

* This month we uveiled the first version of the Mini-NDN website
  with documentation, release notes, tutorials, hackathon projects, and more. 
  Point your browser at http://minindn.memphis.edu/ and see what's new.

TECHNICAL NEWS

* We announced the release of version 0.6.0 of Named Data Networking
  Forwarding Daemon (NFD) and ndn-cxx library.
  Please find detailed release notes: 
  https://named-data.net/doc/NFD/0.6.0/RELEASE_NOTES.html
  https://named-data.net/doc/ndn-cxx/0.6.0/RELEASE_NOTES.html

  More details about NFD, source code, install instructions,
  tutorials, HOWTOs, a FAQ and other useful resources are available
  on the official webpages of NFD and ndn-cxx:

    - https://named-data.net/doc/NFD/0.6.0/

* Version 0.6.0 of NFD and ndn-cxx code support a new ?security v2?
  which includes a new ?certificate v2? format and a security API
  using the Pib and Tpm classes. So, the Common Client Libraries
  have been updated to support the same security API. You can pull
  the latest from GitHub for the following libraries. (NDN-JS updates
  are coming soon.) After a little more testing, we will tag a new
  release.
