HISTORY
(git master)
* [Enter new changes just after this line - do not remove this line]
++ New features:
2016-02-22: Ivan Delamer:
* Initial 6LoWPAN support
2015-12-26: Martin Hentschel and Dirk Ziegelmeier
* Rewrite SNMP agent
2015-11-12: Dirk Ziegelmeier
* Decouple SNMP stack from lwIP core and move stack to apps/ directory.
Breaking change: Users have to call snmp_init() now!
2015-11-12: Dirk Ziegelmeier
* Implement possibility to declare private memory pools. This is useful to
decouple some apps from the core (SNMP stack) or make contrib app useage
simpler (httpserver_raw)
2015-10-09: Simon Goldschmidt
* started to move "private" header files containing implementation details to
"lwip/priv/" include directory to seperate the API from the implementation.
2015-10-07: Simon Goldschmidt
* added sntp client as first "supported" application layer protocol implementation
added 'apps' folder
2015-09-30: Dirk Ziegelmeier
* snmp_structs.h, mib_structs.c, mib2.c: snmp: fixed ugly inheritance
implementation by aggregating the "base class" (struct mib_node) in all
derived node classes to get more type-safe code
2015-09-23: Simon Goldschmidt
* netif.h/.c, nd6.c: task #13729: Convert netif addresses (IPv4 & IPv6) to
ip_addr_t (so they can be used without conversion/temporary storage)
2015-09-08: Dirk Ziegelmeier
* snmp: Separate mib2 counter/table callbacks from snmp agent. This both cleans
up the code and should allow integration of a 3rd party agent/mib2. Simple
counters are kept in MIB2_STATS, tree/table change function prototypes moved to
snmp_mib2.h.
2015-09-03: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, dns.h/.c: DNS/IPv6: added support for AAAA records
2015-09-01: Simon Goldschmidt
* task #12178: hardware checksum capabilities can be configured per netif
(use NETIF_SET_CHECKSUM_CTRL() in your netif's init function)
2015-08-30: Simon Goldschmidt
* PBUF_REF with "custom" pbufs is now supported for RX pbufs (see pcapif in
contrib for an example, LWIP_SUPPORT_CUSTOM_PBUF is required)
2015-08-30: Simon Goldschmidt
* support IPv4 source based routing: define LWIP_HOOK_IP4_ROUTE_SRC to point
to a routing function
2015-08-05: Simon Goldschmidt
* many files: allow multicast socket options IP_MULTICAST_TTL, IP_MULTICAST_IF
and IP_MULTICAST_LOOP to be used without IGMP
2015-04-24: Simon Goldschmidt
* dhcp.h/c, autoip.h/.c: added functions dhcp/autoip_supplied_address() to
check for the source of address assignment (replacement for NETIF_FLAG_DHCP)
2015-04-10: Simon Goldschmidt
* many files: task #13480: added LWIP_IPV4 define - IPv4 can be disabled,
leaving an IPv6-only stack
2015-04-09: Simon Goldschmidt
* nearly all files: task #12722 (improve IPv4/v6 address handling): renamed
ip_addr_t to ip4_addr_t, renamed ipX_addr_t to ip_addr_t and added IP
version; ip_addr_t is used for all generic IP addresses for the API,
ip(4/6)_addr_t are only used internally or when initializing netifs or when
calling version-related functions
2015-03-24: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, ip4_addr.h, ip4.c, ip6.c: loopif is not required for loopback traffic
any more but passed through any netif (ENABLE_LOOPBACK has to be enabled)
2015-03-23: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, etharp.c: with ETHARP_TABLE_MATCH_NETIF== 1, duplicate (Auto)-IP
addresses on multiple netifs should now be working correctly (if correctly
addressed by routing, that is)
2015-03-23: Simon Goldschmidt
* etharp.c: Stable etharp entries that are about to expire are now refreshed
using unicast to prevent unnecessary broadcast. Only if no answer is received
after 15 seconds, broadcast is used.
2015-03-06: Philip Gladstone
* netif.h/.c: patch #8359 (Provide utility function to add an IPv6 address to
an interface)
2015-03-05: Simon Goldschmidt
* netif.c, ip4.c, dhcp.c, autoip.c: fixed bug #37068 (netif up/down handling
is unclear): correclty separated administrative status of a netif (up/down)
from 'valid address' status
ATTENTION: netif_set_up() now always has to be called, even when dhcp/autoip
is used!
2015-02-26: patch by TabascoEye
* netif.c, udp.h/.c: fixed bug #40753 (re-bind UDP pcbs on change of IP address)
2015-02-22: chrysn, Simon Goldschmidt
* *.*: Changed nearly all functions taking 'ip(X)_addr_t' pointer to take
const pointers (changed user callbacks: raw_recv_fn, udp_recv_fn; changed
port callbacks: netif_output_fn, netif_igmp_mac_filter_fn)
2015-02-19: Ivan Delamer
* netif.h, dhcp.c: Removed unused netif flag for DHCP. The preferred way to evaluate
if DHCP is active is through netif->dhcp field.
2015-02-19: Ivan Delamer
* netif.h, slipif.c, ppp.c: Removed unused netif flag for point to point connections
2015-02-18: Simon Goldschmidt
* api_lib.c: fixed bug #37958 "netconn API doesn't handle correctly
connections half-closed by peer"
2015-02-18: Simon Goldschmidt
* tcp.c: tcp_alloc() prefers killing CLOSING/LAST_ACK over active connections
(see bug #39565)
2015-02-16: Claudius Zingerli, Sergio Caprile
* opt.h, dhcp.h/.c: patch #8361 "Add support for NTP option in DHCP"
2015-02-14: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, snmp*: added support for write-access community and dedicated
community for sending traps
2015-02-13: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, memp.c: added hook LWIP_HOOK_MEMP_AVAILABLE() to get informed when
a memp pool was empty and an item is now available
2015-02-13: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, pbuf.h/.c, etharp.c: Added the option PBUF_LINK_ENCAPSULATION_HLEN to
allocate additional header space for TX on netifs requiring additional headers
2015-02-12: chrysn
* timers.h/.c: introduce sys_timeouts_sleeptime (returns the time left before
the next timeout is due, for NO_SYS==1)
2015-02-11: Nick van Ijzendoorn
* opt.h, sockets.h/c: patch #7702 "Include ability to increase the socket number
with defined offset"
2015-02-11: Frederick Baksik
* opt.h, def.h, others: patch #8423 "arch/perf.h" should be made an optional item
2015-02-11: Simon Goldschmidt
* api_msg.c, opt.h: started to implement fullduplex sockets/netconns
(note that this is highly unstable yet!)
2015-01-17: Simon Goldschmidt

* New PPP stack for lwIP, developed in ppp-new branch.
Based from pppd 2.4.5, released 2009-11-17, with huge changes to match
code size and memory requirements for embedded devices, including:
- Gluing together the previous low-level PPP code in lwIP to pppd 2.4.5, which
is more or less what pppd sys-* files are, so that we get something working
using the unix port.
- Merged some patchs from lwIP Git repository which add interesting features
or fix bugs.
- Merged some patchs from Debian pppd package which add interesting features
or fix bugs.
- Ported PPP timeout handling to the lwIP timers system
- Disabled all the PPP code using filesystem access, replaced in necessary cases
to configuration variables.
- Disabled all the PPP code forking processes.
- Removed IPX support, lwIP does not support IPX.
- Ported and improved random module from the previous PPP port.
- Removed samba TDB (file-driven database) usage, because it needs a filesystem.
- MS-CHAP required a DES implementation, we added the latest PolarSSL DES
implementation which is under a BSD-ish license.
- Also switched to PolarSSL MD4,MD5,SHA1 implementations, which are meant to be
used in embedded devices with reduced memory footprint.
- Removed PPP configuration file parsing support.
- Added macro definition EAP_SUPPORT to make EAP support optional.
- Added macro definition CHAP_SUPPORT to make CHAP support optional.
- Added macro definition MSCHAP_SUPPORT to make MSCHAP support optional.
- Added macro definition PAP_SUPPORT to make PAP support optional.
- Cleared all Linux syscall calls.
- Disabled demand support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Disabled ECP support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Disabled CCP support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Disabled CBCP support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Disabled LQR support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Print packet debug feature optional, through PRINTPKT_SUPPORT
- Removed POSIX signal usage.
- Fully ported PPPoS code from the previous port.
- Fully ported PPPoE code from the previous port.
- Fully ported VJ compression protocol code from the previous port.
- Removed all malloc()/free() use from PPP, replaced by stack usage or PBUF.
- Disabled PPP server support using a macro, so that it can be ported later.
- Switched all PPP debug to lwIP debug system.
- Created PPP Control Block (PPP PCB), removed PPP unit integer everywhere,
removed all global variables everywhere, did everything necessary for
the PPP stack to support more than one PPP session (pppd only support
one session per process).
- Removed the statically allocated output buffer, now using PBUF.
- Improved structure size of all PPP modules, deep analyze of code to reduce
variables size to the bare minimum. Switched all boolean type (char type in
most architecture) to compiler generated bitfields.
- Added PPP IPv6 support, glued lwIP IPv6 support to PPP.
- Now using a persistent netif interface which can then be used in lwIP
functions requiring a netif.
- Now initializing PPP in lwip_init() function.
- Reworked completely the PPP state machine, so that we don't end up in
anymore in inconsistent state, especially with PPPoE.
- Improved the way we handle PPP reconnection after disconnect, cleaning
everything required so that we start the PPP connection again from a
clean state.
- Added PPP holdoff support, allow the lwIP user to wait a little bit before
reconnecting, prevents connection flood, especially when using PPPoL2TP.
- Added PPPoL2TP LAC support (a.k.a. UDP tunnels), adding a VPN client
feature to lwIP, L2TP being a widely used tunnel protocol.
- Switched all used PPP types to lwIP types (u8t, u16t, u32t, ...)
- Added PPP API "sequential" thread-safe API, based from NETIFAPI.
2011-07-21: Simon Goldschmidt
* sockets.c, opt.h: (bug #30185): added LWIP_FIONREAD_LINUXMODE that makes
ioctl/FIONREAD return the size of the next pending datagram.
2011-05-25: Simon Goldschmidt
* again nearly the whole stack, renamed ip.c to ip4.c, ip_addr.c to ip4_addr.c,
combined ipv4/ipv6 inet_chksum.c, added ip.h, ip_addr.h: Combined IPv4
and IPv6 code where possible, added defines to access IPv4/IPv6 in non-IP
code so that the code is more readable.
2011-05-17: Patch by Ivan Delamer (only checked in by Simon Goldschmidt)
* nearly the whole stack: Finally, we got decent IPv6 support, big thanks to
Ivan! (this is work in progress: we're just post release anyway :-)

++ New features:
2012-03-25: Simon Goldschmidt (idea by Mason)
* posix/*: added posix-compatibility include files posix/netdb.h and posix/sys/socket.h
which are a simple wrapper to the correct lwIP include files.
2012-01-16: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, icmp.c: Added option CHECKSUM_GEN_ICMP
2011-12-17: Simon Goldschmidt
* ip.h: implemented API functions to access so_options of IP pcbs (UDP, TCP, RAW)
(fixes bug #35061)
2011-09-27: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, tcp.c, tcp_in.c: Implemented limiting data on ooseq queue (task #9989)

2011-09-21: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, api.h, api_lib.c, api_msg.h/.c, sockets.c: Implemented timeout on
send (TCP only, bug #33820)
2011-09-21: Simon Goldschmidt
* init.c: Converted runtime-sanity-checks into compile-time checks that can
be disabled (since runtime checks can often not be seen on embedded targets)
2011-09-11: Simon Goldschmidt
* ppp.h, ppp_impl.h: splitted ppp.h to an internal and external header file
to get a clear separation of which functions an application or port may use
(task #11281)
2011-09-11: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, tcp_impl.h, tcp.c, udp.h/.c: Added a config option to randomize
initial local TCP/UDP ports (so that different port ranges are used after
a reboot; bug #33818; this one added tcp_init/udp_init functions again)
2011-09-03: Simon Goldschmidt
* dhcp.c: DHCP uses LWIP_RAND() for xid's (bug #30302)
2011-08-24: Simon Goldschmidt
* opt.h, netif.h/.c: added netif remove callback (bug #32397)
2011-07-26: Simon Goldschmidt
* etharp.c: ETHARP_SUPPORT_VLAN: add support for an external VLAN filter
function instead of only checking for one VLAN (define ETHARP_VLAN_CHECK_FN)
2011-07-21: Simon Goldschmidt (patch by hanhui)
* ip4.c, etharp.c, pbuf.h: bug #33634 ip_forward() have a faulty behaviour:
Added pbuf flags to mark incoming packets as link-layer broadcast/multicast.
Also added code to allow ip_forward() to forward non-broadcast packets to
the input netif (set IP_FORWARD_ALLOW_TX_ON_RX_NETIF==1).
2011-06-26: Simon Goldschmidt (patch by Cameron Gutman)
* tcp.c, tcp_out.c: bug #33604: added some more asserts to check that
