Feature URL: https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=nic.git;a=blob_plain;f=features/odl-nic-intent-statemachine/pom.xml;hb=stable/carbon
Feature Description: This feature is used to manage Intent state transactions and then share those transactions on MD-SAL.
Top Level: Yes
User Facing: Yes
Experimental: Yes

Feature URL: https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=nic.git;a=blob_plain;f=features/odl-nic-listeners/pom.xml;hb=stable/carbon
Feature Description: This feature dependes of ‘odl-nic-core-mdsal’ to listen about changes on MDSAL, it works as a listener for Intent and network events.
Top Level: Yes
User Facing: Yes
Experimental: Yes

Feature URL: https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=nic.git;a=blob_plain;f=features/odl-nic-renderer-of/pom.xml;hb=stable/carbon
Feature Description: This feature is responsible to apply network configurations based in Intents. Once an Intent is created, the ‘intent-common’ module will extract all information and then, send to ‘renderer-of’.
Top Level: Yes

There are a guide to evaluate manual tests using NIC on our wiki page

Is is possible migrate from the previous release? If so, how?

List key known issues with workarounds

For Carbon release, NIC contains multiple renderers, but just one renderer can be used at the same time to use another renderer after start NIC, you have to uninstall NIC and restart ODL.
