Use it to update a port or an +application written for an older version of lwIP to correctly work +with newer versions. + + +(git master) + + * [Enter new changes just after this line - do not remove this line] + * The eth_addr_cmp and ip_addr_cmp set of functions have been renamed to eth_addr_eq, ip_addr_eq + and so on, since they return non-zero on equality. Macros for the old names exist. + * The sio_write function used by PPP now takes the data argument as const. + +(2.2.0) + + ++ Repository changes: + + * The contrib repository has been added into the main repository in the subdirectory 'contrib' + (the old contrib repository remains online for reference but is not used any more) + +(2.1.0) + + ++ Application changes: + + * Use the new altcp API for seamless TLS integration into existing TCP applications (see changelog) + * TCP only kills existing connections with a LOWER priority than the one currently being opened. + Previous implementations also kill existing connections of the SAME priority. + * ip4_route_src: parameter order is reversed: ip4_route_src(dest, src) -> ip4_route_src(src, dest) + to make parameter order consistent with other ip*_route*() functions. + Same also applies to LWIP_HOOK_IP4_ROUTE_SRC() parameter order. + * pbuf API: pbuf->type (an u8_t holding the enum 'pbuf_type') has changed to only hold a + description of the pbuf (e.g. data following pbuf struct, data volatile, allocation + source heap/pool/etc.). As a consequence, applications can't test pbuf->type any more. + Use pbuf_match_type(pbuf, type) instead. + * socket API: according to the standard, SO_ERROR now only returns asynchronous errors. + All other/normal/synchronous errors are (and always were) available via 'errno'. + LWIP_SOCKET_SET_ERRNO has been removed - 'errno' is always set - and required! + * httpd LWIP_HTTPD_CGI_SSI: httpd_cgi_handler() has an additional parameter "struct fs_file *" + + ++ Port changes: + + * tcpip_trycallback() was renamed to tcpip_callbackmsg_trycallback() to avoid confusion + with tcpip_try_callback() + * compatibility headers: moved from 'src/include/posix' to 'src/include/compat/posix', + 'src/include/compat/stdc' etc. + * The IPv6 implementation now supports address scopes. (See LWIP_IPV6_SCOPES documentation + and ip6_zone.h for more documentation) + * LWIP_HOOK_DHCP_APPEND_OPTIONS() has changed, see description in opt.h (options_out_len is not + available in struct dhcp any more) + * Added debug helper asserts to ensure threading/locking requirements are met (define + LWIP_MARK_TCPIP_THREAD() and LWIP_ASSERT_CORE_LOCKED()). + * Added sys_mbox_trypost_fromisr() and tcpip_callbackmsg_trycallback_fromisr() + These can be used to post preallocated messages from an ISR to the tcpip thread + (e.g. when using FreeRTOS) + +(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.
