* We are pleased to announce the release of ndnSIM version 2.1
(http://ndnsim.net/2.1/), a new release of the NDN simulator.
The new version includes a major new feature: ndnSIM-specific
implementation of Face abstraction from ndn-cxx library. As a
direct result of this new feature:
- we have enabled support for NFD's RIB manager, and
- ndnSIM can now use codebases of existing applications to
drive simulations (see http://ndnsim.net/2.1/guide-to-simulate-real-apps.html).
For more details about the release, refer to http://ndnsim.net/2.1/RELEASE_NOTES.html
Source code, instruction how to install how to compile ndnSIM,
tutorials, FAQs, and other useful resources are available on official
ndnSIM website: http://ndnsim.net/.
* NDN-CCL: We have new releases on GitHub of each Common Client
Library, NDN-CPP, PyNDN, NDN-JS and jNDN. The primary change,
deprecated support for NDNx. Other changes include bug fixes for
each library.
- NDN-CPP v0.8 https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cpp/
- PyNDN v2.1beta1 https://github.com/named-data/PyNDN2/

* We encourage users to download and try out the latest version of
NdnCon v0.6.7 <https://github.com/remap/ndncon/releases/tag/v0.6.7>.
We do not yet recommend it as a reliable subsitute for
existing conferencing tools, however, we made extensive use of
it during NDNComm 2015 for realtime streaming of the proceedings.
Starting next week, Peter Gusev and Jiachen Wang of UCLA REMAP
will hold online office hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from
1:00-2:00P PDT to help users install and use NdnCon. Please watch
the ndn-interest at lists.cs.ucla.edu mailing list for instructions
on how to try NdnCon *before* joining the office hours with
questions.
