DEVELOPMENT
lwIP has grown into an excellent TCP/IP stack for embedded devices,
and developers using the stack often submit bug fixes, improvements,
and additions to the stack to further increase its usefulness.
@ -30,30 +37,44 @@ Development of lwIP is hosted on Savannah, a central point for
software development, maintenance and distribution. A core team
will improve lwIP by the use of Savannah's interface and CVS.
The lwIP TCP/IP stack is maintained in the 'lwip' CVS module and
contributions (such as platform ports) are in the 'contrib' module.
The current lwIP CVS tree can be checked out by doing:
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login

Stable releases have not been released yet. For development we
suggest downloading the latest CVS and keeping track of the
lwIP mailing list.
The main branch is the active development branch, whereas the 'STABLE'
branch aims to be bug-free, without the latest changes. Keep track of
the lwIP users mailing list for the statusses of both.
The mailing list (with searchable archives), as well as Adam
Dunkels' papers on lwIP are at the official lwIP home page:
DOCUMENTATION
The original out-dated homepage of lwIP and Adam Dunkels' papers on
lwIP are at the official lwIP home page:

Reading Adam's papers and browsing the mailing list archives
is a good way to become familiar with the design of lwIP.
Self documentation of the source code is regularly extracted from the
current CVS sources and is available from this web page:

Reading Adam's papers, the files in docs/, browsing the source code
documentation and browsing the mailing list archives is a good way to
become familiar with the design of lwIP.
