| This file lists major changes between release versions that require
 | |
| ports or applications to be changed. Use it to update a port or an
 | |
| application written for an older version of lwIP to correctly work
 | |
| with newer versions.

| 
 | |
|   * [Enter new changes just after this line - do not remove this line]
 | |
| 
 | |
| (2.0.2)
 | |
| 
 | |
|   ++ Application changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * slipif: The way to pass serial port number has changed. netif->num is not
 | |
|     supported any more, netif->state is interpreted as an u8_t port number now
 | |
|     (it's not a POINTER to an u8_t any more!)
 | |
| 
 | |
| (2.0.1)
 | |
| 
 | |
|   ++ Application changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * UDP does NOT receive multicast traffic from ALL netifs on an UDP PCB bound to a specific
 | |
|     netif any more. Users need to bind to IP_ADDR_ANY to receive multicast traffic and compare 
 | |
|     ip_current_netif() to the desired netif for every packet.
 | |
|     See bug #49662 for an explanation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (2.0.0)
 | |
| 
 | |
|   ++ Application changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Changed netif "up" flag handling to be an administrative flag (as opposed to the previous meaning of
 | |
|     "ip4-address-valid", a netif will now not be used for transmission if not up) -> even a DHCP netif
 | |
|     has to be set "up" before starting the DHCP client
 | |
|   * Added IPv6 support (dual-stack or IPv4/IPv6 only)
 | |
|   * Changed ip_addr_t to be a union in dual-stack mode (use ip4_addr_t where referring to IPv4 only).
 | |
|   * Major rewrite of SNMP (added MIB parser that creates code stubs for custom MIBs);
 | |
|     supports SNMPv2c (experimental v3 support)
 | |
|   * Moved some core applications from contrib repository to src/apps (and include/lwip/apps)
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ Raw API:
 | |
|     * Changed TCP listen backlog: removed tcp_accepted(), added the function pair tcp_backlog_delayed()/
 | |
|       tcp_backlog_accepted() to explicitly delay backlog handling on a connection pcb
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ Socket API:
 | |
|     * Added an implementation for posix sendmsg()
 | |
|     * Added LWIP_FIONREAD_LINUXMODE that makes ioctl/FIONREAD return the size of the next pending datagram
 | |
| 
 | |
|   ++ Port changes
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ new files:
 | |
|     * MANY new and moved files! 
 | |
|     * Added src/Filelists.mk for use in Makefile projects
 | |
|     * Continued moving stack-internal parts from abc.h to abc_priv.h in sub-folder "priv"
 | |
|       to let abc.h only contain the actual application programmer's API
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ sys layer:
 | |
|     * Made LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING==1 the default as it usually performs better than
 | |
|       the traditional message passing (although with LWIP_COMPAT_MUTEX you are still
 | |
|       open to priority inversion, so this is not recommended any more)
 | |
|     * Added LWIP_NETCONN_SEM_PER_THREAD to use one "op_completed" semaphore per thread
 | |
|       instead of using one per netconn (these semaphores are used even with core locking
 | |
|       enabled as some longer lasting functions like big writes still need to delay)
 | |
|     * Added generalized abstraction for itoa(), strnicmp(), stricmp() and strnstr()
 | |
|       in def.h (to be overridden in cc.h) instead of config 
 | |
|       options for netbiosns, httpd, dns, etc. ...
 | |
|     * New abstraction for hton* and ntoh* functions in def.h.
 | |
|       To override them, use the following in cc.h: 
 | |
|       #define lwip_htons(x) <your_htons>
 | |
|       #define lwip_htonl(x) <your_htonl>
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ new options:
 | |
|      * TODO
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ new pools:
 | |
|      * Added LWIP_MEMPOOL_* (declare/init/alloc/free) to declare private memp pools
 | |
|        that share memp.c code but do not have to be made global via lwippools.h
 | |
|      * Added pools for IPv6, MPU_COMPATIBLE, dns-api, netif-api, etc.
 | |
|      * added hook LWIP_HOOK_MEMP_AVAILABLE() to get informed when a memp pool was empty and an item
 | |
|        is now available
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Signature of LWIP_HOOK_VLAN_SET macro was changed
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * LWIP_DECLARE_MEMORY_ALIGNED() may be used to declare aligned memory buffers (mem/memp)
 | |
|     or to move buffers to dedicated memory using compiler attributes
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Standard C headers are used to define sized types and printf formatters
 | |
|     (disable by setting LWIP_NO_STDINT_H=1 or LWIP_NO_INTTYPES_H=1 if your compiler
 | |
|     does not support these)
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
|   ++ Major bugfixes/improvements
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Added IPv6 support (dual-stack or IPv4/IPv6 only)
 | |
|   * Major rewrite of PPP (incl. keep-up with apache pppd)
 | |
|     see doc/ppp.txt for an upgrading how-to
 | |
|   * Major rewrite of SNMP (incl. MIB parser)
 | |
|   * Fixed timing issues that might have lead to losing a DHCP lease
 | |
|   * Made rx processing path more robust against crafted errors
 | |
|   * TCP window scaling support
 | |
|   * modification of api modules to support FreeRTOS-MPU (don't pass stack-pointers to other threads)
 | |
|   * made DNS client more robust
 | |
|   * support PBUF_REF for RX packets
 | |
|   * LWIP_NETCONN_FULLDUPLEX allows netconn/sockets to be used for reading/writing from separate
 | |
|     threads each (needs LWIP_NETCONN_SEM_PER_THREAD)
 | |
|   * Moved and reordered stats (mainly memp/mib2)
 | |
| 
 | |
| (1.4.0)
 | |
| 
 | |
|   ++ Application changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Replaced struct ip_addr by typedef ip_addr_t (struct ip_addr is kept for
 | |
|     compatibility to old applications, but will be removed in the future).
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Renamed mem_realloc() to mem_trim() to prevent confusion with realloc()
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ Raw API:
 | |
|     * Changed the semantics of tcp_close() (since it was rather a
 | |
|       shutdown before): Now the application does *NOT* get any calls to the recv
 | |
|       callback (aside from NULL/closed) after calling tcp_close()
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * When calling tcp_abort() from a raw API TCP callback function,
 | |
|       make sure you return ERR_ABRT to prevent accessing unallocated memory.
 | |
|       (ERR_ABRT now means the applicaiton has called tcp_abort!)
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ Netconn API:
 | |
|     * Changed netconn_receive() and netconn_accept() to return
 | |
|       err_t, not a pointer to new data/netconn.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ Socket API:
 | |
|     * LWIP_SO_RCVTIMEO: when accept() or recv() time out, they
 | |
|       now set errno to EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN, not ETIMEDOUT.
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Added a minimal version of posix fctl() to have a
 | |
|       standardised way to set O_NONBLOCK for nonblocking sockets.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ all APIs:
 | |
|     * correctly implemented SO(F)_REUSEADDR
 | |
| 
 | |
|   ++ Port changes
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ new files:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Added 4 new files: def.c, timers.c, timers.h, tcp_impl.h:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Moved stack-internal parts of tcp.h to tcp_impl.h, tcp.h now only contains
 | |
|       the actual application programmer's API
 | |
|   
 | |
|     * Separated timer implementation from sys.h/.c, moved to timers.h/.c;
 | |
|       Added timer implementation for NO_SYS==1, set NO_SYS_NO_TIMERS==1 if you
 | |
|       still want to use your own timer implementation for NO_SYS==0 (as before).
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ sys layer:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Converted mbox- and semaphore-functions to take pointers to sys_mbox_t/
 | |
|       sys_sem_t;
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Converted sys_mbox_new/sys_sem_new to take pointers and return err_t;
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Added Mutex concept in sys_arch (define LWIP_COMPAT_MUTEX to let sys.h use
 | |
|       binary semaphores instead of mutexes - as before)
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ new options:
 | |
| 
 | |
|      * Don't waste memory when chaining segments, added option TCP_OVERSIZE to
 | |
|        prevent creating many small pbufs when calling tcp_write with many small
 | |
|        blocks of data. Instead, pbufs are allocated larger than needed and the
 | |
|        space is used for later calls to tcp_write.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      * Added LWIP_NETIF_TX_SINGLE_PBUF to always copy to try to create single pbufs
 | |
|        in tcp_write/udp_send.
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Added an additional option LWIP_ETHERNET to support ethernet without ARP
 | |
|       (necessary for pure PPPoE)
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Add MEMP_SEPARATE_POOLS to place memory pools in separate arrays. This may
 | |
|       be used to place these pools into user-defined memory by using external
 | |
|       declaration.
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Added TCP_SNDQUEUELOWAT corresponding to TCP_SNDLOWAT
 | |
| 
 | |
|   +++ new pools:
 | |
| 
 | |
|      * Netdb uses a memp pool for allocating memory when getaddrinfo() is called,
 | |
|        so MEMP_NUM_NETDB has to be set accordingly.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      * DNS_LOCAL_HOSTLIST_IS_DYNAMIC uses a memp pool instead of the heap, so
 | |
|        MEMP_NUM_LOCALHOSTLIST has to be set accordingly.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      * Snmp-agent uses a memp pools instead of the heap, so MEMP_NUM_SNMP_* have
 | |
|        to be set accordingly.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      * PPPoE uses a MEMP pool instead of the heap, so MEMP_NUM_PPPOE_INTERFACES
 | |
|        has to be set accordingly
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Integrated loopif into netif.c - loopif does not have to be created by the
 | |
|     port any more, just define LWIP_HAVE_LOOPIF to 1.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Added define LWIP_RAND() for lwip-wide randomization (needs to be defined
 | |
|     in cc.h, e.g. used by igmp)
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Added printf-formatter X8_F to printf u8_t as hex
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * The heap now may be moved to user-defined memory by defining
 | |
|     LWIP_RAM_HEAP_POINTER as a void pointer to that memory's address
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * added autoip_set_struct() and dhcp_set_struct() to let autoip and dhcp work
 | |
|     with user-allocated structs instead of calling mem_malloc
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Added const char* name to mem- and memp-stats for easier debugging.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Calculate the TCP/UDP checksum while copying to only fetch data once:
 | |
|     Define LWIP_CHKSUM_COPY to a memcpy-like function that returns the checksum
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Added SO_REUSE_RXTOALL to pass received UDP broadcast/multicast packets to
 | |
|     more than one pcb.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Changed the semantics of ARP_QUEUEING==0: ARP_QUEUEING now cannot be turned
 | |
|     off any more, if this is set to 0, only one packet (the most recent one) is
 | |
|     queued (like demanded by RFC 1122).
 | |
| 
 | |
|   
 | |
|   ++ Major bugfixes/improvements
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Implemented tcp_shutdown() to only shut down one end of a connection
 | |
|   * Implemented shutdown() at socket- and netconn-level
 | |
|   * Added errorset support to select() + improved select speed overhead
 | |
|   * Merged pppd to v2.3.11 (including some backported bugfixes from 2.4.x)
 | |
|   * Added timer implementation for NO_SYS==1 (may be disabled with NO_SYS_NO_TIMERS==1
 | |
|   * Use macros defined in ip_addr.h to work with IP addresses
 | |
|   * Implemented many nonblocking socket/netconn functions
 | |
|   * Fixed ARP input processing: only add a new entry if a request was directed as us
 | |
|   * mem_realloc() to mem_trim() to prevent confusion with realloc()
 | |
|   * Some improvements for AutoIP (don't route/forward link-local addresses, don't break
 | |
|     existing connections when assigning a routable address)
 | |
|   * Correctly handle remote side overrunning our rcv_wnd in ooseq case
 | |
|   * Removed packing from ip_addr_t, the packed version is now only used in protocol headers
 | |
|   * Corrected PBUF_POOL_BUFSIZE for ports where ETH_PAD_SIZE > 0
 | |
|   * Added support for static ARP table entries
 | |
| 
 | |
| (STABLE-1.3.2)
