FUTURE * TODO: The lwIP source code makes some invalid assumptions on processor word-length, storage sizes and alignment. See the mailing lists for problems with exoteric (/DSP) architectures showing these problems. We still have to fix some of these issues neatly. * TODO: the PPP code is broken in a few ways. There are namespace collisions on BSD systems and many assumptions on word-length (sizeof(int)). In ppp.c an assumption is made on the availability of a thread subsystem. Either PPP needs to be moved to contrib/ports/??? or rearranged to be more generic. * TODO: review the the sequential netconn and socket API (lwip/src/api) for bugs and performance issues. Frequent system calls (e.g. sys_mbox_fetch) slooow things down considerably. HISTORY (CVS HEAD) * [Enter new changes just after this line - do not remove this line] ++ New features: 2007-04-06 Frédéric Bernon, Simon Goldschmidt * opt.h, tcpip.h, tcpip.c, netifapi.h, netifapi.c: New configuration option LWIP_NETIF_API allow to use thread-safe functions to add/remove netif in list, and to start/stop dhcp clients, using new functions from netifapi.h. Disable as default (no port change to do). 2007-04-05 Frédéric Bernon * sockets.c: remplace ENOBUFS errors on alloc_socket by ENFILE to be more BSD compliant. 2007-04-04 Simon Goldschmidt * arch.h, api_msg.c, dhcp.c, msg_in.c, sockets.c: Introduced #define LWIP_UNUSED_ARG(x) use this for and architecture-independent form to tell the compiler you intentionally are not using this variable. Can be overriden in cc.h. 2007-03-28 Frédéric Bernon * opt.h, netif.h, dhcp.h, dhcp.c: New configuration option LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME allow to define a hostname in netif struct (this is just a pointer, so, you can use a hardcoded string, point on one of your's ethernetif field, or alloc a string you will free yourself). It will be used by DHCP to register a client hostname, but can also be use when you call snmp_set_sysname. 2007-03-28 Frédéric Bernon * netif.h, netif.c: A new NETIF_FLAG_ETHARP flag is defined in netif.h, to allow to initialize a network interface's flag with. It tell this interface is an ethernet device, and we can use ARP with it to do a "gratuitous ARP" (RFC 3220 "IP Mobility Support for IPv4" section 4.6) when interface is "up" with netif_set_up(). 2007-03-26 Frédéric Bernon, Jonathan Larmour * opt.h, tcpip.c: New configuration option LWIP_ARP allow to disable ARP init at build time if you only use PPP or SLIP. The default is enable. Note we don't have to call etharp_init in your port's initilization sequence if you use tcpip.c, because this call is done in tcpip_init function. 2007-03-22 Frédéric Bernon * stats.h, stats.c, msg_in.c: Stats counters can be change to u32_t if necessary with the new option LWIP_STATS_LARGE. If you need this option, define LWIP_STATS_LARGE to 1 in your lwipopts.h. More, unused counters are not defined in the stats structs, and not display by stats_display(). Note that some options (SYS_STATS and RAW_STATS) are defined but never used. Fix msg_in.c with the correct #if test for a stat display. 2007-03-21 Kieran Mansley * netif.c, netif.h: Apply patch#4197 with some changes (originator: rireland@hmgsl.com). Provides callback on netif up/down state change. 2007-03-11 Frédéric Bernon, Mace Gael, Steve Reynolds * sockets.h, sockets.c, api.h, api_lib.c, api_msg.h, api_msg.c, igmp.h, igmp.c, ip.c, netif.h, tcpip.c, opt.h: New configuration option LWIP_IGMP to enable IGMP processing. Based on only one filter per all network interfaces. Declare a new function in netif to enable to control the MAC filter (to reduce lwIP traffic processing). 2007-03-11 Frédéric Bernon * tcp.h, tcp.c, sockets.c, tcp_out.c, tcp_in.c, opt.h: Keepalive values can be configured at run time with LWIP_TCP_KEEPALIVE, but don't change this unless you know what you're doing (default are RFC1122 compliant). Note that TCP_KEEPIDLE and TCP_KEEPINTVL have to be set in seconds. 2007-03-08 Frédéric Bernon * tcp.h: Keepalive values can be configured at compile time, but don't change this unless you know what you're doing (default are RFC1122 compliant). 2007-03-08 Frédéric Bernon * sockets.c, api.h, api_lib.c, tcpip.c, sys.h, sys.c, err.c, opt.h: Implement LWIP_SO_RCVTIMEO configuration option to enable/disable SO_RCVTIMEO on UDP sockets/netconn. 2007-03-08 Simon Goldschmidt * snmp_msg.h, msg_in.c: SNMP UDP ports can be configured at compile time. 2007-03-06 Frédéric Bernon * api.h, api_lib.c, sockets.h, sockets.c, tcpip.c, sys.h, sys.c, err.h: Implement SO_RCVTIMEO on UDP sockets/netconn. 2007-02-28 Kieran Mansley (based on patch from Simon Goldschmidt) * api_lib.c, tcpip.c, memp.c, memp.h: make API msg structs allocated on the stack and remove the API msg type from memp 2007-02-26 Jonathan Larmour (based on patch from Simon Goldschmidt) * sockets.h, sockets.c: Move socket initialization to new lwip_socket_init() function. NOTE: this changes the API with ports. Ports will have to be updated to call lwip_socket_init() now. 2007-02-26 Jonathan Larmour (based on patch from Simon Goldschmidt) * api_lib.c: Use memcpy in netbuf_copy_partial. ++ Bug fixes: 2007-04-05 Frédéric Bernon, Jonathan Larmour * api_msg.c: Fix bug #16830: "err_tcp() posts to connection mailbox when no pend on the mailbox is active". Now, the post is only done during a connect, and do_send, do_write and do_join_leave_group don't do anything if a previous error was signaled. 2007-04-03 Frédéric Bernon * ip.c: Don't set the IP_DF ("Don't fragment") flag in the IP header in IP output packets. See patch #5834. 2007-03-30 Frédéric Bernon * api_msg.c: add a "pcb_new" helper function to avoid redundant code, and to add missing pcb allocations checking (in do_bind, and for each raw_new). Fix style. 2007-03-30 Frédéric Bernon * most of files: prefix all debug.h define with "LWIP_" to avoid any conflict with others environment defines (these were too "generic"). 2007-03-28 Frédéric Bernon * api.h, api_lib.c, sockets.c: netbuf_ref doesn't check its internal pbuf_alloc call result and can cause a crash. lwip_send now check netbuf_ref result. 2007-03-28 Simon Goldschmidt * sockets.c Remove "#include " from sockets.c to avoid multiple definition of macros (in errno.h and lwip/arch.h) if LWIP_PROVIDE_ERRNO is defined. This is the way it should have been already (looking at doc/sys_arch.txt) 2007-03-28 Kieran Mansley * opt.h Change default PBUF_POOL_BUFSIZE (again) to accomodate default MSS + IP and TCP headers *and* physical link headers 2007-03-26 Frédéric Bernon (based on patch from Dmitry Potapov) * api_lib.c: patch for netconn_write(), fixes a possible race condition which cause to send some garbage. It is not a definitive solution, but the patch does solve the problem for most cases. 2007-03-22 Frédéric Bernon * api_msg.h, api_msg.c: Remove obsolete API_MSG_ACCEPT and do_accept (never used). 2007-03-22 Frédéric Bernon * api_lib.c: somes resources couldn't be freed if there was errors during netconn_new_with_proto_and_callback. 2007-03-22 Frédéric Bernon * ethernetif.c: update netif->input calls to check return value. In older ports, it's a good idea to upgrade them, even if before, there could be another problem (access to an uninitialized mailbox). 2007-03-21 Simon Goldschmidt * sockets.c: fixed bug #5067 (essentialy a signed/unsigned warning fixed by casting to unsigned). 2007-03-21 Frédéric Bernon * api_lib.c, api_msg.c, tcpip.c: integrate sys_mbox_fetch(conn->mbox, NULL) calls from api_lib.c to tcpip.c's tcpip_apimsg(). Now, use a local variable and not a dynamic one from memp to send tcpip_msg to tcpip_thread in a synchrone call. Free tcpip_msg from tcpip_apimsg is not done in tcpip_thread. This give a faster and more reliable communication between api_lib and tcpip. 2007-03-21 Frédéric Bernon * opt.h: Add LWIP_NETIF_CALLBACK (to avoid compiler warning) and set it to 0. 2007-03-21 Frédéric Bernon * api_msg.c, igmp.c, igmp.h: Fix C++ style comments 2007-03-21 Kieran Mansley * opt.h Change default PBUF_POOL_BUFSIZE to accomodate default MSS + IP and TCP headers 2007-03-21 Kieran Mansley * Fix all uses of pbuf_header to check the return value. In some cases just assert if it fails as I'm not sure how to fix them, but this is no worse than before when they would carry on regardless of the failure. 2007-03-21 Kieran Mansley * sockets.c, igmp.c, igmp.h, memp.h: Fix C++ style comments and comment out missing header include in icmp.c 2007-03-20 Frédéric Bernon * memp.h, stats.c: Fix stats_display function where memp_names table wasn't synchronized with memp.h. 2007-03-20 Frédéric Bernon * tcpip.c: Initialize tcpip's mbox, and verify if initialized in tcpip_input, tcpip_ethinput, tcpip_callback, tcpip_apimsg, to fix a init problem with network interfaces. Also fix a compiler warning. 2007-03-20 Kieran Mansley * udp.c: Only try and use pbuf_header() to make space for headers if not a ROM or REF pbuf. 2007-03-19 Frédéric Bernon * api_msg.h, api_msg.c, tcpip.h, tcpip.c: Add return types to tcpip_apimsg() and api_msg_post(). 2007-03-19 Frédéric Bernon * Remove unimplemented "memp_realloc" function from memp.h. 2007-03-11 Simon Goldschmidt * pbuf.c: checked in patch #5796: pbuf_alloc: len field claculation caused memory corruption. 2007-03-11 Simon Goldschmidt (based on patch from Dmitry Potapov) * api_lib.c, sockets.c, api.h, api_msg.h, sockets.h: Fixed bug #19251 (missing `const' qualifier in socket functions), to get more compatible to standard POSIX sockets. 2007-03-11 Frédéric Bernon (based on patch from Dmitry Potapov) * sockets.c: Add asserts inside bind, connect and sendto to check input parameters. Remove excessive set_errno() calls after get_socket(), because errno is set inside of get_socket(). Move last sock_set_errno() inside lwip_close. 2007-03-09 Simon Goldschmidt * memp.c: Fixed bug #11400: New etharp queueing introduced bug: memp_memory was allocated too small. 2007-03-06 Simon Goldschmidt * tcpip.c: Initialize dhcp timers in tcpip_thread (if LWIP_DHCP) to protect the stack from concurrent access. 2007-03-06 Frédéric Bernon, Dmitry Potapov * tcpip.c, ip_frag.c, ethernetif.c: Fix some build problems, and a redundancy call to "lwip_stats.link.recv++;" in low_level_input() & ethernetif_input(). 2007-03-06 Simon Goldschmidt * ip_frag.c, ip_frag.h: Reduce code size: don't include code in those files if IP_FRAG == 0 and IP_REASSEMBLY == 0 2007-03-06 Frédéric Bernon, Simon Goldschmidt * opt.h, ip_frag.h, tcpip.h, tcpip.c, ethernetif.c: add new configuration option named ETHARP_TCPIP_ETHINPUT, which enable the new tcpip_ethinput. Allow to do ARP processing for incoming packets inside tcpip_thread (protecting ARP layer against concurrent access). You can also disable old code using tcp_input with new define ETHARP_TCPIP_INPUT set to 0. Older ports have to use tcpip_ethinput. 2007-03-06 Simon Goldschmidt (based on patch from Dmitry Potapov) * err.h, err.c: fixed compiler warning "initialization dircards qualifiers from pointer target type" 2007-03-05 Frédéric Bernon * opt.h, sockets.h: add new configuration options (LWIP_POSIX_SOCKETS_IO_NAMES, ETHARP_TRUST_IP_MAC, review SO_REUSE) 2007-03-04 Frédéric Bernon * api_msg.c: Remove some compiler warnings : parameter "pcb" was never referenced. 2007-03-04 Frédéric Bernon * api_lib.c: Fix "[patch #5764] api_lib.c cleanup: after patch #5687" (from Dmitry Potapov). The api_msg struct stay on the stack (not moved to netconn struct). 2007-03-04 Simon Goldschmidt (based on patch from Dmitry Potapov) * pbuf.c: Fix BUG#19168 - pbuf_free can cause deadlock (if SYS_LIGHTWEIGHT_PROT=1 & freeing PBUF_RAM when mem_sem is not available) Also fixed cast warning in pbuf_alloc() 2007-03-04 Simon Goldschmidt * etharp.c, etharp.h, memp.c, memp.h, opt.h: Fix BUG#11400 - don't corrupt existing pbuf chain when enqueuing multiple pbufs to a pending ARP request 2007-03-03 Frédéric Bernon * udp.c: remove obsolete line "static struct udp_pcb *pcb_cache = NULL;" It is static, and never used in udp.c except udp_init(). 2007-03-02 Simon Goldschmidt * tcpip.c: Moved call to ip_init(), udp_init() and tcp_init() from tcpip_thread() to tcpip_init(). This way, raw API connections can be initialized before tcpip_thread is running (e.g. before OS is started) 2007-03-02 Frédéric Bernon * rawapi.txt: Fix documentation mismatch with etharp.h about etharp_tmr's call interval. 2007-02-28 Kieran Mansley * pbuf.c: Fix BUG#17645 - ensure pbuf payload pointer is not moved outside the region of the pbuf by pbuf_header() 2007-02-28 Kieran Mansley * sockets.c: Fix BUG#19161 - ensure milliseconds timeout is non-zero when supplied timeout is also non-zero (STABLE-1.2.0) 2006-12-05 Leon Woestenberg * CHANGELOG: Mention STABLE-1.2.0 release. ++ New features: 2006-12-01 Christiaan Simons * mem.h, opt.h: Added MEM_LIBC_MALLOC option. Note this is a workaround. Currently I have no other options left. 2006-10-26 Christiaan Simons (accepted patch by Jonathan Larmour) * ipv4/ip_frag.c: rename MAX_MTU to IP_FRAG_MAX_MTU and move define to include/lwip/opt.h. * ipv4/lwip/ip_frag.h: Remove unused IP_REASS_INTERVAL. Move IP_REASS_MAXAGE and IP_REASS_BUFSIZE to include/lwip/opt.h. * opt.h: Add above new options. 2006-08-18 Christiaan Simons * tcp_{in,out}.c: added SNMP counters. * ipv4/ip.c: added SNMP counters. * ipv4/ip_frag.c: added SNMP counters. 2006-08-08 Christiaan Simons * etharp.{c,h}: added etharp_find_addr() to read (stable) ethernet/IP address pair from ARP table 2006-07-14 Christiaan Simons * mib_structs.c: added * include/lwip/snmp_structs.h: added * netif.{c,h}, netif/ethernetif.c: added SNMP statistics to netif struct 2006-07-06 Christiaan Simons * snmp/asn1_{enc,dec}.c added * snmp/mib2.c added * snmp/msg_{in,out}.c added * include/lwip/snmp_asn1.h added * include/lwip/snmp_msg.h added * doc/snmp_agent.txt added 2006-03-29 Christiaan Simons * inet.c, inet.h: Added platform byteswap support. Added LWIP_PLATFORM_BYTESWAP define (defaults to 0) and optional LWIP_PLATFORM_HTONS(), LWIP_PLATFORM_HTONL() macros. ++ Bug fixes: 2006-11-30 Christiaan Simons * dhcp.c: Fixed false triggers of request_timeout. 2006-11-28 Christiaan Simons * netif.c: In netif_add() fixed missing clear of ip_addr, netmask, gw and flags. 2006-10-11 Christiaan Simons * api_lib.c etharp.c, ip.c, memp.c, stats.c, sys.{c,h} tcp.h: Partially accepted patch #5449 for ANSI C compatibility / build fixes. * ipv4/lwip/ip.h ipv6/lwip/ip.h: Corrected UDP-Lite protocol identifier from 170 to 136 (bug #17574). 2006-10-10 Christiaan Simons * api_msg.c: Fixed Nagle algorithm as reported by Bob Grice. 2006-08-17 Christiaan Simons * udp.c: Fixed bug #17200, added check for broadcast destinations for PCBs bound to a unicast address. 2006-08-07 Christiaan Simons * api_msg.c: Flushing TCP output in do_close() (bug #15926). 2006-06-27 Christiaan Simons * api_msg.c: Applied patch for cold case (bug #11135). In accept_function() ensure newconn->callback is always initialized. 2006-06-15 Christiaan Simons * mem.h: added MEM_SIZE_F alias to fix an ancient cold case (bug #1748), facilitate printing of mem_size_t and u16_t statistics. 2006-06-14 Christiaan Simons * api_msg.c: Applied patch #5146 to handle allocation failures in accept() by Kevin Lawson. 2006-05-26 Christiaan Simons * api_lib.c: Removed conn->sem creation and destruction from netconn_write() and added sys_sem_new to netconn_new_*. (STABLE-1_1_1) 2006-03-03 Christiaan Simons * ipv4/ip_frag.c: Added bound-checking assertions on ip_reassbitmap access and added pbuf_alloc() return value checks. 2006-01-01 Leon Woestenberg * tcp_{in,out}.c, tcp_out.c: Removed 'even sndbuf' fix in TCP, which is now handled by the checksum routine properly. 2006-02-27 Leon Woestenberg * pbuf.c: Fix alignment; pbuf_init() would not work unless pbuf_pool_memory[] was properly aligned. (Patch by Curt McDowell.) 2005-12-20 Leon Woestenberg * tcp.c: Remove PCBs which stay in LAST_ACK state too long. Patch submitted by Mitrani Hiroshi. 2005-12-15 Christiaan Simons * inet.c: Disabled the added summing routine to preserve code space. 2005-12-14 Leon Woestenberg * tcp_in.c: Duplicate FIN ACK race condition fix by Kelvin Lawson. Added Curt McDowell's optimized checksumming routine for future inclusion. Need to create test case for unaliged, aligned, odd, even length combination of cases on various endianess machines. 2005-12-09 Christiaan Simons * inet.c: Rewrote standard checksum routine in proper portable C. 2005-11-25 Christiaan Simons * udp.c tcp.c: Removed SO_REUSE hack. Should reside in socket code only. * *.c: introduced cc.h LWIP_DEBUG formatters matching the u16_t, s16_t, u32_t, s32_t typedefs. This solves most debug word-length assumes. 2005-07-17 Leon Woestenberg * inet.c: Fixed unaligned 16-bit access in the standard checksum routine by Peter Jolasson. * slipif.c: Fixed implementation assumption of single-pbuf datagrams. 2005-02-04 Leon Woestenberg * tcp_out.c: Fixed uninitialized 'queue' referenced in memerr branch. * tcp_{out|in}.c: Applied patch fixing unaligned access. 2005-01-04 Leon Woestenberg * pbuf.c: Fixed missing semicolon after LWIP_DEBUG statement. 2005-01-03 Leon Woestenberg * udp.c: UDP pcb->recv() was called even when it was NULL. (STABLE-1_1_0) 2004-12-28 Leon Woestenberg * etharp.*: Disabled multiple packets on the ARP queue. This clashes with TCP queueing. 2004-11-28 Leon Woestenberg * etharp.*: Fixed race condition from ARP request to ARP timeout. Halved the ARP period, doubled the period counts. ETHARP_MAX_PENDING now should be at least 2. This prevents the counter from reaching 0 right away (which would allow too little time for ARP responses to be received). 2004-11-25 Leon Woestenberg * dhcp.c: Decline messages were not multicast but unicast. * etharp.c: ETHARP_CREATE is renamed to ETHARP_TRY_HARD. Do not try hard to insert arbitrary packet's source address, etharp_ip_input() now calls etharp_update() without ETHARP_TRY_HARD. etharp_query() now always DOES call ETHARP_TRY_HARD so that users querying an address will see it appear in the cache (DHCP could suffer from this when a server invalidly gave an in-use address.) * ipv4/ip_addr.h: Renamed ip_addr_maskcmp() to _netcmp() as we are comparing network addresses (identifiers), not the network masks themselves. * ipv4/ip_addr.c: ip_addr_isbroadcast() now checks that the given IP address actually belongs to the network of the given interface. 2004-11-24 Kieran Mansley * tcp.c: Increment pcb->snd_buf when ACK is received in SYN_SENT state. (STABLE-1_1_0-RC1) 2004-10-16 Kieran Mansley * tcp.c: Add code to tcp_recved() to send an ACK (window update) immediately, even if one is already pending, if the rcv_wnd is above a threshold (currently TCP_WND/2). This avoids waiting for a timer to expire to send a delayed ACK in order to open the window if the stack is only receiving data. 2004-09-12 Kieran Mansley * tcp*.*: Retransmit time-out handling improvement by Sam Jansen. 2004-08-20 Tony Mountifield * etharp.c: Make sure the first pbuf queued on an ARP entry is properly ref counted. 2004-07-27 Tony Mountifield * debug.h: Added (int) cast in LWIP_DEBUGF() to avoid compiler warnings about comparison. * pbuf.c: Stopped compiler complaining of empty if statement when LWIP_DEBUGF() empty. Closed an unclosed comment. * tcp.c: Stopped compiler complaining of empty if statement when LWIP_DEBUGF() empty. * ip.h Corrected IPH_TOS() macro: returns a byte, so doesn't need htons(). * inet.c: Added a couple of casts to quiet the compiler. No need to test isascii(c) before isdigit(c) or isxdigit(c). 2004-07-22 Tony Mountifield * inet.c: Made data types consistent in inet_ntoa(). Added casts for return values of checksum routines, to pacify compiler. * ip_frag.c, tcp_out.c, sockets.c, pbuf.c Small corrections to some debugging statements, to pacify compiler. 2004-07-21 Tony Mountifield * etharp.c: Removed spurious semicolon and added missing end-of-comment. * ethernetif.c Updated low_level_output() to match prototype for netif->linkoutput and changed low_level_input() similarly for consistency. * api_msg.c: Changed recv_raw() from int to u8_t, to match prototype of raw_recv() in raw.h and so avoid compiler error. * sockets.c: Added trivial (int) cast to keep compiler happier. * ip.c, netif.c Changed debug statements to use the tidier ip4_addrN() macros. (STABLE-1_0_0) ++ Changes: 2004-07-05 Leon Woestenberg * sockets.*: Restructured LWIP_PRIVATE_TIMEVAL. Make sure your cc.h file defines this either 1 or 0. If non-defined, defaults to 1. * .c: Added and includes where used. * etharp.c: Made some array indices unsigned. 2004-06-27 Leon Woestenberg * netif.*: Added netif_set_up()/down(). * dhcp.c: Changes to restart program flow. 2004-05-07 Leon Woestenberg * etharp.c: In find_entry(), instead of a list traversal per candidate, do a single-pass lookup for different candidates. Should exploit locality. 2004-04-29 Leon Woestenberg * tcp*.c: Cleaned up source comment documentation for Doxygen processing. * opt.h: ETHARP_ALWAYS_INSERT option removed to comply with ARP RFC. * etharp.c: update_arp_entry() only adds new ARP entries when adviced to by the caller. This deprecates the ETHARP_ALWAYS_INSERT overrule option. ++ Bug fixes: 2004-04-27 Leon Woestenberg * etharp.c: Applied patch of bug #8708 by Toni Mountifield with a solution suggested by Timmy Brolin. Fix for 32-bit processors that cannot access non-aligned 32-bit words, such as soms 32-bit TCP/IP header fields. Fix is to prefix the 14-bit Ethernet headers with two padding bytes. 2004-04-23 Leon Woestenberg * ip_addr.c: Fix in the ip_addr_isbroadcast() check. * etharp.c: Fixed the case where the packet that initiates the ARP request is not queued, and gets lost. Fixed the case where the packets destination address is already known; we now always queue the packet and perform an ARP request. (STABLE-0_7_0) ++ Bug fixes: * Fixed TCP bug for SYN_SENT to ESTABLISHED state transition. * Fixed TCP bug in dequeueing of FIN from out of order segment queue. * Fixed two possible NULL references in rare cases. (STABLE-0_6_6) ++ Bug fixes: * Fixed DHCP which did not include the IP address in DECLINE messages. ++ Changes: * etharp.c has been hauled over a bit. (STABLE-0_6_5) ++ Bug fixes: * Fixed TCP bug induced by bad window resizing with unidirectional TCP traffic. * Packets sent from ARP queue had invalid source hardware address. ++ Changes: * Pass-by ARP requests do now update the cache. ++ New features: * No longer dependent on ctype.h. * New socket options. * Raw IP pcb support. (STABLE-0_6_4) ++ Bug fixes: * Some debug formatters and casts fixed. * Numereous fixes in PPP. ++ Changes: * DEBUGF now is LWIP_DEBUGF * pbuf_dechain() has been re-enabled. * Mentioned the changed use of CVS branches in README. (STABLE-0_6_3) ++ Bug fixes: * Fixed pool pbuf memory leak in pbuf_alloc(). Occured if not enough PBUF_POOL pbufs for a packet pbuf chain. Reported by Savin Zlobec. * PBUF_POOL chains had their tot_len field not set for non-first pbufs. Fixed in pbuf_alloc(). ++ New features: * Added PPP stack contributed by Marc Boucher ++ Changes: * Now drops short packets for ICMP/UDP/TCP protocols. More robust. * ARP queueuing now queues the latest packet instead of the first. This is the RFC recommended behaviour, but can be overridden in lwipopts.h. (0.6.2) ++ Bugfixes: * TCP has been fixed to deal with the new use of the pbuf->ref counter. * DHCP dhcp_inform() crash bug fixed. ++ Changes: * Removed pbuf_pool_free_cache and pbuf_pool_alloc_cache. Also removed pbuf_refresh(). This has sped up pbuf pool operations considerably. Implemented by David Haas. (0.6.1) ++ New features: * The packet buffer implementation has been enhanced to support zero-copy and copy-on-demand for packet buffers which have their payloads in application-managed memory. Implemented by David Haas. Use PBUF_REF to make a pbuf refer to RAM. lwIP will use zero-copy if an outgoing packet can be directly sent on the link, or perform a copy-on-demand when necessary. The application can safely assume the packet is sent, and the RAM is available to the application directly after calling udp_send() or similar function. ++ Bugfixes: * ARP_QUEUEING should now correctly work for all cases, including PBUF_REF. Implemented by Leon Woestenberg. ++ Changes: * IP_ADDR_ANY is no longer a NULL pointer. Instead, it is a pointer to a '0.0.0.0' IP address. * The packet buffer implementation is changed. The pbuf->ref counter meaning has changed, and several pbuf functions have been adapted accordingly. * netif drivers have to be changed to set the hardware address length field that must be initialized correctly by the driver (hint: 6 for Ethernet MAC). See the contrib/ports/c16x cs8900 driver as a driver example. * netif's have a dhcp field that must be initialized to NULL by the driver. See the contrib/ports/c16x cs8900 driver as a driver example. (0.5.x) This file has been unmaintained up to 0.6.1. All changes are logged in CVS but have not been explained here. (0.5.3) Changes since version 0.5.2 ++ Bugfixes: * memp_malloc(MEMP_API_MSG) could fail with multiple application threads because it wasn't protected by semaphores. ++ Other changes: * struct ip_addr now packed. * The name of the time variable in arp.c has been changed to ctime to avoid conflicts with the time() function. (0.5.2) Changes since version 0.5.1 ++ New features: * A new TCP function, tcp_tmr(), now handles both TCP timers. ++ Bugfixes: * A bug in tcp_parseopt() could cause the stack to hang because of a malformed TCP option. * The address of new connections in the accept() function in the BSD socket library was not handled correctly. * pbuf_dechain() did not update the ->tot_len field of the tail. * Aborted TCP connections were not handled correctly in all situations. ++ Other changes: * All protocol header structs are now packed. * The ->len field in the tcp_seg structure now counts the actual amount of data, and does not add one for SYN and FIN segments. (0.5.1) Changes since version 0.5.0 ++ New features: * Possible to run as a user process under Linux. * Preliminary support for cross platform packed structs. * ARP timer now implemented. ++ Bugfixes: * TCP output queue length was badly initialized when opening connections. * TCP delayed ACKs were not sent correctly. * Explicit initialization of BSS segment variables. * read() in BSD socket library could drop data. * Problems with memory alignment. * Situations when all TCP buffers were used could lead to starvation. * TCP MSS option wasn't parsed correctly. * Problems with UDP checksum calculation. * IP multicast address tests had endianess problems. * ARP requests had wrong destination hardware address. ++ Other changes: * struct eth_addr changed from u16_t[3] array to u8_t[6]. * A ->linkoutput() member was added to struct netif. * TCP and UDP ->dest_* struct members where changed to ->remote_*. * ntoh* macros are now null definitions for big endian CPUs. (0.5.0) Changes since version 0.4.2 ++ New features: * Redesigned operating system emulation layer to make porting easier. * Better control over TCP output buffers. * Documenation added. ++ Bugfixes: * Locking issues in buffer management. * Bugfixes in the sequential API. * IP forwarding could cause memory leakage. This has been fixed. ++ Other changes: * Directory structure somewhat changed; the core/ tree has been collapsed. (0.4.2) Changes since version 0.4.1 ++ New features: * Experimental ARP implementation added. * Skeleton Ethernet driver added. * Experimental BSD socket API library added. ++ Bugfixes: * In very intense situations, memory leakage could occur. This has been fixed. ++ Other changes: * Variables named "data" and "code" have been renamed in order to avoid name conflicts in certain compilers. * Variable++ have in appliciable cases been translated to ++variable since some compilers generate better code in the latter case. (0.4.1) Changes since version 0.4 ++ New features: * TCP: Connection attempts time out earlier than data transmissions. Nagle algorithm implemented. Push flag set on the last segment in a burst. * UDP: experimental support for UDP-Lite extensions. ++ Bugfixes: * TCP: out of order segments were in some cases handled incorrectly, and this has now been fixed. Delayed acknowledgements was broken in 0.4, has now been fixed. Binding to an address that is in use now results in an error. Reset connections sometimes hung an application; this has been fixed. * Checksum calculation sometimes failed for chained pbufs with odd lengths. This has been fixed. * API: a lot of bug fixes in the API. The UDP API has been improved and tested. Error reporting and handling has been improved. Logical flaws and race conditions for incoming TCP connections has been found and removed. * Memory manager: alignment issues. Reallocating memory sometimes failed, this has been fixed. * Generic library: bcopy was flawed and has been fixed. ++ Other changes: * API: all datatypes has been changed from generic ones such as ints, to specified ones such as u16_t. Functions that return errors now have the correct type (err_t). * General: A lot of code cleaned up and debugging code removed. Many portability issues have been fixed. * The license was changed; the advertising clause was removed. * C64 port added. * Thanks: Huge thanks go to Dagan Galarneau, Horst Garnetzke, Petri Kosunen, Mikael Caleres, and Frits Wilmink for reporting and fixing bugs! (0.4) Changes since version 0.3.1 * Memory management has been radically changed; instead of allocating memory from a shared heap, memory for objects that are rapidly allocated and deallocated is now kept in pools. Allocation and deallocation from those memory pools is very fast. The shared heap is still present but is used less frequently. * The memory, memory pool, and packet buffer subsystems now support 4-, 2-, or 1-byte alignment. * "Out of memory" situations are handled in a more robust way. * Stack usage has been reduced. * Easier configuration of lwIP parameters such as memory usage, TTLs, statistics gathering, etc. All configuration parameters are now kept in a single header file "lwipopts.h". * The directory structure has been changed slightly so that all architecture specific files are kept under the src/arch hierarchy. * Error propagation has been improved, both in the protocol modules and in the API. * The code for the RTXC architecture has been implemented, tested and put to use. * Bugs have been found and corrected in the TCP, UDP, IP, API, and the Internet checksum modules. * Bugs related to porting between a 32-bit and a 16-bit architecture have been found and corrected. * The license has been changed slightly to conform more with the original BSD license, including the advertisement clause. (0.3.1) Changes since version 0.3 * Fix of a fatal bug in the buffer management. Pbufs with allocated RAM never returned the RAM when the pbuf was deallocated. * TCP congestion control, window updates and retransmissions did not work correctly. This has now been fixed. * Bugfixes in the API. (0.3) Changes since version 0.2 * New and improved directory structure. All include files are now kept in a dedicated include/ directory. * The API now has proper error handling. A new function, netconn_err(), now returns an error code for the connection in case of errors. * Improvements in the memory management subsystem. The system now keeps a pointer to the lowest free memory block. A new function, mem_malloc2() tries to allocate memory once, and if it fails tries to free some memory and retry the allocation. * Much testing has been done with limited memory configurations. lwIP now does a better job when overloaded. * Some bugfixes and improvements to the buffer (pbuf) subsystem. * Many bugfixes in the TCP code: - Fixed a bug in tcp_close(). - The TCP receive window was incorrectly closed when out of sequence segments was received. This has been fixed. - Connections are now timed-out of the FIN-WAIT-2 state. - The initial congestion window could in some cases be too large. This has been fixed. - The retransmission queue could in some cases be screwed up. This has been fixed. - TCP RST flag now handled correctly. - Out of sequence data was in some cases never delivered to the application. This has been fixed. - Retransmitted segments now contain the correct acknowledgment number and advertised window. - TCP retransmission timeout backoffs are not correctly computed (ala BSD). After a number of retransmissions, TCP now gives up the connection. * TCP connections now are kept on three lists, one for active connections, one for listening connections, and one for connections that are in TIME-WAIT. This greatly speeds up the fast timeout processing for sending delayed ACKs. * TCP now provides proper feedback to the application when a connection has been successfully set up. * More comments have been added to the code. The code has also been somewhat cleaned up. (0.2) Initial public release.
