# 1.1 29-Sep-2018 rmind

branches: 1.1.2; 1.1.6; 1.1.40;
NPF: Major rework -- migrate NPF to the libnv library.
- This conversion significantly simplifies the code and moves NPF to
a binary serialisation format (replacing the XML-like format).
- Fix some memory/reference leaks and possibly use-after-free bugs.
- Bump NPF_VERSION as this change makes libnpf incompatible with the
previous versions. Also, different serialisation format means NPF
connection/config saving and loading is not compatible with the
previous versions either.

Thanks to christos@ for extra testing.
