0.8.0 is out

There's a new release.

Hey truedat101,

Wanted to say keep up the good work - looks like its starting to come together nicely.

I wanted to formally let you know I plan to contribute, as I have some ideas that you may like. However, I'm still taking baby steps in CCNx and was hoping you could shed some insight.

As I said, I'm still warming up to the CCNx basics, so understanding these is essential. I have searched high and low to find out what the process for turning a Name-string into a CCNb-compatible format. My question is, if I have the Interest "ccnx:/PARC/readMe" - how do I prepare it to go over the wire via TCP? I just want to ping the CCNd and get a response of ANY kind.

Example:

1. Take the ccnx Name (var name = 'ccnx:/PARC/readMe';), and split() on slash '/'.
2. base64Encode name: name[1] = base64Encode(name[1]); name[2] = base64Encode(name[2]);
3. Pack prefixes into XML: <...><...><component ...>name[1]...</...>
4. XML to hex: var Interest = new hex(XML);
5. Create buffer: var buf = new Buffer(16).fill(0);
6. Write to buffer: buf.write(XML);
7. Send to CCNd: tcp.write(buf);

As you can see, I'm in the weeds here, so ANY insight is greatly appreciated.

Much Appreciation,

Cody

Hey there, just wanted to give you a shout out and say I appreciate the work you're doing here. I'm working on a webapp that I feel is perfect for ccn and this will help a lot. I realize you're in active development, just like the actual ccnx protocol, but I was wondering what the 'usability status' of this project is... are we talking 'it works, but it's not pretty and it crashes all the time' or 'well, my ping came back at least' or 'this is a rough outline for how this could function'?

Thanks again, and let me know what I can do to help.

Expecting this in early feb. Track to it.

Duh.

Currently using Nodeunit, but some others might be helpful.

RC is probably coming out next week, so will make sure to keep synced with this.
