+nuttx-5.9
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+This is the 56th release of NuttX. This release is difficult to categorize;
+NuttX-5.9 was really released because there were too many changes accumulating
+in CVS -- a few important, some unfinished implementations, and a couple of
+important bugfixes.
+
+ * By far biggest change in this release is the complete implementation
+ of on-demand paging support. This feature will allow you to execute large
+ programs on a mass storage device (such as SPI FLASH) in a small RAM.
+ All of the core on-demand paging logic was completed (see
+ http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXDemandPaging.html) and support was implemented
+ for the ARM-9 family. A test configuration is in place for the NXP
+ LPC3131. It has been verified that this new logic does not interfere
+ with normal fixed-page ARM9 operation, but otherwise this new on-demand
+ paging feature is untested.
+ * Add support for the CodeSourcery toolchain to the Olimex-lpc2378 port
+ and for the Neuros OSD port.
+ * The Neuros OSD port has been updated to work with the production v1.0
+ OSD (previously it only worked with the development board).
+ * And some miscellaneous feature enhancements as detailed in the ChangeLog.
+
+This includes several important bugfixes:
+
+ * NXP LPC17xx - Fixed a critical bug in the GPIO configuratino logic:
+ When attempting to set no pull-up or pull-down (floating), it would,
+ instead, select pull-down.
+ * TI/Luminary LM3Sxxxx - Fixed (1) a logic error in an address table
+ lookup, (2) GPIO port encoding the limited support to only 8 GPIO
+ ports.
+ * Corrected the lease time in the DHCPC implementation: It was not in
+ host byte order.
+ * And several other less important bugs as documented in the ChangeLog:
+ Warnings, cornercase compilation problems, etc.
