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
-on a newer version.
+with newer versions.
(CVS HEAD)
++ Application changes:
- * Replaced struct ip_addr by typedef ip_addr_t.
-
- * Raw API: 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!)
+ * 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()
- * Netconn API: Changed netconn_receive() and netconn_accept() to return
- err_t, not a pointer to new data/netconn.
+ +++ 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
- * Added 3 new files: def.c, timers.c, timers.h
+ +++ 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
+ * 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).
- * Converted and semaphore functions to take pointers to sys_mbox_t/sys_sem_t;
+ +++ sys layer:
- * Converted sys_mbox_new/sys_sem_new to take pointers and return err_t;
+ * Converted mbox- and semaphore-functions to take pointers to sys_mbox_t/
+ sys_sem_t;
- * Added Mutex concept in sys_arch (define LWIP_COMPAT_MUTEX to let sys.h use
- binary semaphores instead of mutexes - as before)
+ * Converted sys_mbox_new/sys_sem_new to take pointers and return err_t;
- * 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 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
- * Netdb uses a memp pool for allocating memory when getaddrinfo() is called,
- so MEMP_NUM_NETDB has to be set accordingly.
+ +++ new pools:
- * Snmp-agent uses memp pools instead of the heap, so MEMP_NUM_SNMP_* have to
- be set accordingly.
+ * 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
