0.1.0 2007-03-09  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Initial Release
	* Support for Linux user mode simulation and TI
	  TMS320C5471 (Arm7) provided

0.1.1 2007-03-14  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Corrected an error in interrupt level context switching
	  for C5471
	* Added fgets() and gets() logic; verified c5471 console read.
	* Corrected error in reading from the C5471 serial port:
	  Improper use of semaphore can cause deadlock.
	* Fixed an error in the memory cleanup:  The idle task
	  cannot take sempahores (because it must always be ready
	  to run).
	* Tasks can now accept a configurable maximum number of
	  input parameters (argc)
	* _task_init() was divided into separate functions that
	  require fewer parameters.  This was necessary to keep
	  the stack usage down for the 8051/2 (which has only
	  256 bytes of stack).
	* Attempts to use C5471 console from interrupt handlers
	  can cause errors. Added a special path for this case.
	* Refuse calls to sem_wait and sem_trywait from interrupt
	  handlers.  This was happening because interrupt handlers
	  were calling printf-like functions.
	* Added strtok() and strtok_r()
	* Added a simple shell called nsh (see examples/nsh).
	* Platform support for 8052 is complete but not stable
	  when the timer interrupt is enabled.	Seems to be an
	  issue when SP enters indirect address space.
	* Documentation updates

0.1.2 2007-03-19  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Add dirent.h, opendir(), readdir(), closedir(), etc.
	* Add strerror()
	* Added 'ls' command to nsh
	* Added C5471 watchdog driver
	* Fixed another bug where free() is called from IDLE task.
	  Can't do this; the caller must be able to wait for access
	  to memory.
	* Fixed bugs associated with debug output:
		  Cannot do dbg() in middle of context switch logic.
	  because it may require use of semaphores and cause
	  additional context switches. lldbg() is safe.
	* Interrupt must be disabled throughout all context switches.
	* Separated C5471 serial driver; a shareable part is
	  in drivers/. ; the C5471 specific part is in arch/C5471.
	  serial.h defines the interface.
	* Fixed mq_receive() and mq_send() -- bad memcpy()
	* Fixed C5471 signal deliver logic: use of dbg() and
		  other actions by use signal handler can alter errno.
		  need to protect errno during signal handling.
	* Fixed uninitialized variable in filesystem that could
	  cause various problems
	* Added a test for roundrobin scheduler.

0.2.1 2007-03-22  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Fix error in handing signed decimal in vsprintf().
	* Major restructuring of header files to get closer to
	  POSIX compliance.
	* Eliminate compilation warnings that that crept into
	  recent check-ins
	* Add kill()
	* Added support for POSIX timers
	* Some Documentation updates
	* Added support for the Neuros OSD / DM320

0.2.2 2007-03-26 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Created the configs/ directory; separated board configuration
	  from processor architecture logic
	* Add memory leak detection test to examples/ostest
	* Corrected memory leak in OS pthread join logic
	* Corrected memory leaks in examples/ostest due to failures
	  to join or detach from pthreads.
	* Added pthread_once(), pthread_kill(), pthread_sigmask()
	* Added pthread_barrierattr_*() APIs
	* Added pthread_barrier_init(), pthread_barrier_destroy(), and
	  pthread_barrier_wait();
	* Added pthread barrier test
	* Added protection so that errno cannot be modified from
	  interrupt handling.
	* sched_setparam(), sched_setscheduler() now correctly set
	  errno; pthread_setscheduler() now returns the correct errno.
	* Added pthread_setschedprio().
	* Added directories to hold board-specific header files
	* Added directories to hold board-specific drivers

0.2.3 2007-03-29 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* mq_receive and mq_send now return errno's appropriately
	* mq_receive and mq_send are now correctly awakened by signals.
	* Fixed an unmatched sched_lock/unlock pair in task_delete().
	* sched_lock must be called in _exit() because operation of
	  task_delete() can cause pending tasks to be merged and a
	  context switch to occur.
	* Added mq_timedreceive() and mq_timedsend()
	* signal mask is now inherited by both child tasks and threads.
	* Improved sharebility of stdout among pthreads (only).  Nothing
	  was broken, but by moving the mutual exclusion logic to a
	  higher level, the printf output is more readable.
	* Fixed a bug in file system cleanup:  A list was being deleted
	  before the buffers contained in the list.
	* Fixed a bug in the wait-for-message-queue-not-empty logic.
	* Added a test of timed mqueue operations; detected and corrected
	  some mqueue errors.
	* Identified and corrected a race condition associated with
	  pthread_join.  In the failure condition, memory was being
	  deallocated while still in use.

0.2.4 2007-04-28 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Verfied c5471 build under Cygwin on WinXP
	* Makesystem changes to better support different SoCs.
	* Made arch/c5471/include and arch/dm320/include identical in
	  preparation for merging into arch/arm
	* Logic from arch/c5471 and arch/dm320 combined into arch/arm.
	  arch/c5471 and arch/dm320 are deprecated and will be removed
	  when the new c5471 and dm320 logic is verified.

	* Restructured some Makefiles to better handle enabling and disabling
	  NuttX features without having so much conditional compilation in the
	  source files.

	  writing to the socket.

0.3.14 2008-09-08 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* FAT FS now uses position variable in struct file.  This simplifies operations

	  This is a low level requirement for eXecute In Place (XIP) support.
	* Add a FIOC_MMAP to perform memory mapping of a file and implemented the
	  ioctl command in the ROMFS filesystem.  This is a requirement for eXecute
	  In Place (XIP) support.

	* Correct the frequency of system timer interrupts in the NXP LPC214x port
	  (off by 20x in nuttx-0.3.15)
	* Add an option to set aside a separate stack for interrupt handling (ARM only).
	  This is useful when memory is constrained, there are multiple tasks, and
	  the interrupt stack requirement is high (as when USB is enabled).
	* Added USB serial class device side driver (emulates Prolific PL2303
	  serial-to-USB adaptor)
	* Add LPC214x USB serial configuration; Add examples/usbserial test

	  system timer.
	* Fixed serial driver bugs related to (1) open counts and (2) recognizing
	  O_NONBLOCK on read.

	* Added a simple SPI-based MMC/SD block driver
	* NSH: Add LPC214x-specific support to NSH; NSH now mounts any SD cards in the slot.
	* FAT: Fix access to unaligned 32-bit values in partion table (start sector & size)
	* Fixed a problem with a un-initialized variable in the USB serial driver.
	* Added USB storage NXP LPC214x configuration
	* Added a test for USB storage under examples/usbstorage
	* Fixed a bug in the LPC214x USB driver: It was not properly clearing a HALTed
	  endpoints (other than EP) on receipt of CLEAR FEATURES request.
	* Added USB storage class device side driver (BBB)
	* Fixed a bug in the LPC214x USB driver: It was not properly handling request buffers
	  larger then the endpoint's max packet (DM320 driver also fixed, untested)
	* Added logic to the USB device interface:	A bit is needed to force the driver to
	  to terminate an IN transfer with a short packet (zero-length if necessary).
	* Fix an error in the NXP LPC214x USB device driver that was causing corruption of
	  the request queue (M320 driver also fixed, untested)
	* Correct another error in the NXP LPC214x USB device driver that caused read failures
	  when the request buffer size was larger than maxpacket.
	* Numerous corrections/extensions to the USB tracing logic included in 0.3.16 (but
	  not integrated until 0.3.17)
	* Fixed another bug in the NXP LPC214x USB device driver:  After a stalled endpoint
	  is resumed (view CLEAR FEATURE), we must restart the IN (outgoing) queue.

0.3.18 2008-11-16 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Added port for the STMicro STR71x processor and configuration for the Olimex STR-P711
	  board (STR71x testing is stalled because I have been unable to get OpenOCD to
	  communicate with my JTAG wiggler on Linux).
	* Fix race condition workaround delay in LPC214X SPI logic.  This was also the cause of the
	  very bad MMC/SD performance.
	* Began port of the Hitachi SH-1 using the SH-1/US7032EVB1 board
	* Re-built all configurations that use SDCC and Zilog toolchains to make sure they still
	  build (they didn't, but they do now).
	* Fixed several erroneous "list empty" checks in the CAN driver.
	* Hitachi SH-1 passes (reduced) examples/ostest; the examples/nsh test still fails.
	  There are remaining instabilities that make the port un-usable.  The nature of these is
	  not understood; the behavior is that certain SH-1 instructions stop working as advertised.
	  This could be a silicon problem, some pipeline issue that is not handled properly by the
	  gcc 3.4.5 toolchain (which has very limit SH-1 support to begin with), or perhaps with the
	  CMON debugger.  At any rate, I have exhausted all of the energy that I am willing to put
	  into this cool old processor for the time being.
	* Renamed configuration item CONFIG_PROC_STACK_SIZE as CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE:  It now
	  only controls the size of the stack for the IDLE thread.	Added CONFIG_USERMAIN_STACKSIZE:
	  This is the size of stack used with the user_start() thread is created.  The two stacks
	  no longer have to be the same.
	* Add a loop device that converts a file into a block device.
	* Each NSH command can not be disabled through a configuration setting. All of these
	 settings make the configuration of NSH potentially complex but also allow it to squeeze
	  into very small memory footprints.
	* Added a block to character (BCH) driver.	This is kind of the reverse of the loop
	  device; it allows you access a block device like a character device.
	* Added strcasecmp() and strncasecmp()
	* NSH: Added the 'dd' command
	* NSH: Added the 'losetup' command
	* Fixed a FAT bug:	After recent changes, it would mount a (invalid) FAT file system
	  even if the medium is not formatted!
	* Corrected two important errors in FAT lseek implementation: (1) the sectors-per-cluster
	  value was being reset to "1" and (2) important lseek logic was omitted when the seek
	  position was zero.
	* Fixed a bug in getopt().	It would fail if on certain combinations of terminal argument
	  types.

0.3.19 2008-11-26 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Add poll() and select() APIs (in the initial check-in, these work only with character devices) 
	* Add poll() methods to /dev/null, /dev/zero, pipes, fifos, and serial drivers.
	* Add examples/poll for testing poll() and select()
	* Fix hostile behavior of getc, fgetc, getchar, etc.: the serial driver was waiting for a
	  full buffer of read data before return.  This means that getc would stall when it needed
	  to refill the input buffer. The old behavior (read full blocks) might be useful in other
	  contexts, so it is still available within the driver as a configuration option.
	* Implement poll() and select() support for TCP/IP sockets
	* Fixed an important bug in the TCP/IP buffering logic.  When TCP/IP read-ahead is enabled
	  and not recv() is in-place when a TCP/IP packet is received, the packet is placed into
	  a read-ahead buffer.	However, the old contents of the read-ahead buffer were not being
	  cleared and old data would contaminate the newly received buffer.
	* Implemented support for connection backlog.  The size of the backlog is specified by the
	  second argument of the standard listen() API.  Hooks are provided to support poll()/select()
	  waiting for connections, with a subsequent call to accept() to use the backlogged connection.
	* Fixed a minor bug in accept().  It should allow the address and addresslen values to be NULL
	* Added first-cut definition for a framebuffer interface (and simulated framebuffer for testing
	  purposes only)
	* Added fixed precision math support
	* Added some color converson routines into what may become a real graphics library someday.
	* Added a framebuffer driver for the DM320 (untested on initial check-in)
	* Network: add support for outgoing multicast addresses
	* Added some rasterizers to the graphics library

0.4.0 2008-12-06 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Initial release of a tiny windowing system for NuttX
	* Add fixed precision sin() and cos() (not well tested at initial check-in)
	* Add an X11-based simulated framebuffer driver
	* The simulated target now has an option (CONFIG_SIM_WALLTIME) that will let the simulation
	  run in more-or-less realtime.
	* Added more more extensive window support:  frames, toolbars, etc.
	* Added support for bitmap fonts
	* Integrated the new font support with a font test in examples/nx
	* Add documentation for NX graphics subsystem

0.4.1 2009-02-06 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Added board support fot the ZiLog eZ80Acclaim! ez80f910200zco Development Kit.
	* Fixed several compilation errors in fixed precision math library when built
	  against toolchains that do not support 64-bit type 'long long'.
	* Fix errors in some function prototypes in dirent.h
	* Add eZ80F91 EMAC driver
	* Fix recvfrom() compilation error -- only noted under ZDS
	* Updated all ARM Make.def files to work with gcc 2.4.2 (However, there are
	  still some build issues associated with that toolchain in use of arm-elf-objcopy
	  -- see the TODO.txt list for details)
	* Fix problems with Z16F and eZ80 compilation introduced with recent changes.

0.4.2 2009-02-28 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* M16C: Add support for the Renesas M16C MCU and the SKP16C26 StarterKit. However, 
	  the target cannot be built because the GNU m16c-elf-ld link fails with 
	  the following message:

		m32c-elf-ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.19 assertion fail /home/Owner/projects/nuttx/buildroot/toolchain_build_m32c/binutils-2.19/bfd/elf32-m32c.c:482

	  Where the reference line is:

		/* If the symbol is out of range for a 16-bit address,
		   we must have allocated a plt entry.	*/
		 BFD_ASSERT (*plt_offset != (bfd_vma) -1);

	  No workaround is known at this time.	This is a show stopper for M16C.

	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fix interrupt vectors positioning; they were being positioned
	  wrong by 64 bytes (Kevin Franzen).
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Corrected some stack handling errors during interrupt handling
	   context save and restore (Kevin Franzen).
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Corrected vector intialization logic (Kevin Franzen).
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Corrected overflow problem in the calculation of UART baud rate
		divisor, the system timer divisor, and the EMAC poll timer.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed GPIO pin configuration get serial output
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Correct stack overflow in ostest example configuration
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed restoration of interrupts state on interrupt level context swith.

0.4.3 2009-03-04 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* z8Encore! and eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed the serial driver initialization sequence
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed error in vector table:  Missing space set aside for the
	  "unused" vectors.  As a result, all vectors above timer4 were skewed.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed logic error in UART interrupt handler.
	* Many fixes in FAT file system and in NSH for correct compilation with ZDS-II
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Added and verified a NuttShell (NSH) configuration.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Correct endian-ness; defconfig files said BIG endian.
	* Restructured parts of the uIP port for correct compilation with ZDS-II
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Complete basic integration of the eZ80F91 EMAC driver.	The
	  driver is basically functional and should mature prior to the 0.4.3 release.
	* Implemented priority inheritance logic for POSIX semaphores.	Because the pthread
	  mutexes are built on semaphores, they will have this property as well.

0.4.4 2009-03-29 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* examples/nsh:  A debug option was left on that can (and does) cause
	  infinite loops and stack overflows.
	* net/uip: Correct calculation of checksum on ICMP ping response.
	* examples/dchpd: Added a tiny DHCP server example
	* net/uip: Correct UDP bind behavior.  It should select a valid port number
	  if it receives a port number of zero.
	* netutils/dhcpd:  Corrrect for ZDS compiler.  Fix issue with re-use of a
	  port number. Fixed a number of broadcast-related problems.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Add a tiny webserver configuration
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed an important bug in the EMAC Tx timeout logic. It was
	  always timing out when the load was heavy and worse, for some reason,
	  resetting the Tx function caused unexpected registers to be reset in
	  the Rcv function was well.
	* Z80: Patch incorported: "[2696648] Z80: interrupt flag stored in parity bit"
	  (submitted by JPelletier).  The is the same fix that was needed for the
	  eZ80 and fixed in 0.4.2.
	* netutils: Added logic to support a simple wget() function
	* examples/wget: Added a test for wget() (untested -- see NOTE)
	* lib/strncasecmp: Fix cut'n'paste error in function name.
	* NSH: Added wget command (untested -- see NOTE).
	* examples/sendmail: A simple sendmail example (untested -- see NOTE)

	NOTE: Features related to wget and sendmail are not tested on the target platform
	in this release and, hence, most likely have problems.	I don't have the correct network
	network setup to perform that testing now (I'm in a hotel).

0.4.5 2009-04-19 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Add an enumeration argument to the SPI chip select and status methods so
	  that the interface can handle more than one device.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Add a generic SPI driver for all eZ80 boards.
	* Add a setmode() method to the SPI interface to handle parts with differing
	  mode requirements.
	* include/nuttx/i2c.h: Defined a standard I2C interface
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Add an I2C driver.
	* eZ8Encore!: Add an I2C driver.
	* Add support for the Freescale i.MX1/L architecture and a configuration for
	  the Freescale MX1ADS development board.
	* examples/helloxx: Added a simple C++ hello world example
	* include/css: Added std header files
	* libxx: New C++-only directory provides support for minimal C++ applications

0.4.6 2009-05-19 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Change SPI interface so that is can accomodate interfaces where the
	  number of bits per word is greater an 8 (such as with many 9-bit display
	  interfaces). -- this might have broken a few things which will need to
	  be retested!
	* arch/arm/src/imx: Added i.MX SPI driver
	* SPI: Add a method to set the number of bits per word.  Also add an
	  alternative interface for so that (eventually) I can phase the sndblock
	  and recvblock methods and replace them with a single exchange method
	* Build:  objcopy fails with toolchains that use newer GCC and binutils.  The
	  following arguments need to be included in the objcopy command line "-R .note
	  -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .comment"  This has bin fixed in arch/arm/src/Makefile,
	  but other architectures may have the same problem.  Thanks to Dave Marples
	  for verifying this.
	* configs/eagle100/ostest: Added support for the MicroMint Eagle100 board. 
	  This board has a Luminary LM3S6918 Cortex-M3. Added a configuration to build
	  examples/ostest.
	* arch/arm/src/lpc214x: Add configuration option to enable fast GPIO (vs.
	  legacy, "slow" GPIO) for LPC214x.
	* arch/arm: Restructured the arch/arm directory structure to better suppor ARM
	  and Cortex-M3.
	* sched/: pthread_create() must return a (non-negated) errno value on failure.
	* configs/eagle100/nsh: Add a NuttShell (NSH) configuration for the Eagle-100

0.4.7 2009-05-29 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* arch/arm/src/lm3s: Added an Ethernet driver for the LM3S6918
	* configs/eagle100/nettest: Added an examples/nettest configuration for the
	  Micromint Eagle100 board.
	* Documentation/NuttxPortingGuide.html: Added a section on NuttX device drivers.
	* configs/eagle100/httpd: Added an examples/uip configuration for the
	  Micromint Eagle100 board.
	* arch/arm/src/lm3s: Added an SSI driver for the LM3S6918
	* examples/nsh: Added MMC/SD support for the LM3S6918
	* arch/arm/src/lm3s: Fix logic for setting and clearing output GPIOs (critical
	  fix!).
	* drivers/mmcsd: Found numerous errors in current MMC/SD SPI driver.  Bad frequency
	  calculation based on CSD settings, inappropriate timeouts, odd code that looks like
	  a bad search and replace.  Also needs support for SDHC ver 2.x.  New MMC/SD is
	  largely redesigned and probably non-functional in the first check-in.
	* drivers/mmcsd: Changes verified on 4Gb Kingston microSHDC card and on a 2Gb
	  SanDisk microSDC card on the Eagle100 platform.
	* fs/fat: With the 4Gb card, the first tests of FAT32 were (finally) performed.
	  Found and corrected a problem that prevented use of FAT32: It was not updating
	  the sector cache before checking the FAT32 FSINFO sector.
	* configs/eagle100/*/Make.defs:  Added configuration options that should make
	  it possible to build NuttX for the Eagle100 using CodeSourcery 2009q1 toolchain
	  and the devkitARM GNU toolchain.
	* configs/mcu123-lpc214x/src: Corrected some logic in the LPC2148 SPI receive block
	  logic.  Re-verified SDC ver1.x support with 1Gb Toshiba SDC, 1Gb PNY SDC, and
	  4Gb Kingston SDHC.  There are CMD0 issues with the 2Gb SanDisk SDC on this board.
	* fs/fs_mount.c: Corrected error handling that could cause a deadlock on certain
	  mount() failures.

0.4.8 2009-06-13 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* lib/lib_*stream.c: Extend internal stream logic to support incoming streams.
	* arch/arm/src/str71x: Serial output is now correct and timer interrupts are
	  working.	The test at configs/olimex-strp711/ostest passes.  This means that
	  the basic STR-P711 port is complete.
	* configs/olimex-strp711/nsh:  Add and verifed a NuttShell (NSH) configuration
	  for the STR-P711.
	* arch/arm/str71x/str71x_serial.c:	The STR711 interrupt driven serial driver
	  finally works after some extradinary measures to handle missed interrupts.
	  NSH is fully functional on the Olimex STR-P711 board.
	* example/nsh: Moved architecture specific files from NSH directory to board-
	  specific directories.
	* config/olimex-strp711/src/up_nsh.c:  Add an NSH board specific directory for
	  for the Olimex STR7P11 board.
	* Fixed build of LM3X6918 using the CodeSourcery Windows native toolchain.	There
	  were lots of issues with Cygwin paths and Cygwin symbolic links.	These changes
	  may work with the devarmKIT as well, but that remains untested.
	* The NXP LPC2148 and STR711 targets can now also be built using the CodeSourcery
	  or devkitARM Windows native toolchains.

0.4.9 2009-06-26 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Add strtoll() and strtoull(); Add macros for atol() and atoll().
	* dup() and dup2() will now clone socket descriptors
	* All socket descriptors ar now cloned when when a new task is started
	  via task_create().
	* Add configuration options to suppress or eliminate cloning of file
	  and/or socket descriptors when a new task is started by task_create():
	  CONFIG_FDCLONE_DISABLE, CONFIG_FDCLONE_STDIO, CONFIG_SDCLONE_DISABLE.
	* Use of C++ reserved word 'private' in C header files causes problems
	  for C++ that include them.
	* Added 'binfmt' support to allow execution of programs in a file system,
	  binding to NuttX symbols. A custom format call NXFLAT is used; this
	  derives from http://xflat.sourceforge.net.  At present is supports on
	  XIP execution from ROMFS file systems.  Initial check-in is untested
	  and probably breaks many builds.
	* examples/lib: Added qsort()
	* examples/nxflat: Added support for symbol tables
	* Correct logic that creates compiler include paths.  On Cygwin, the
	  include paths for Cygwin-based GCC were being converted to windows
	  native paths.  That causes many problems -- breaking dependencies
	  for one.
	* Fixed an important bug in ROMFS.	The initial XIP offset was set
	  incorrectly so if sector zero was read first, there was a bad read.
	  I don't know how it worked before.
	* arch/arm/src/common/up_use_stack.c.  Fixed a fatal stack setup error.
	  This file has been around for a long time, but I don't think it has
	  every been used before (i.e., prior to the NXFLAT logic)

0.4.10 2009-08-08 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* lib/: Added some basic regex-subset, pattern matching functions
	* lib/: Greatly simplified mktime() and gmtime_r().  The Gregorian and
	  Julian time calculations were interesting, but not necessary in the
	  typical embeddd system.
	* sched/: Added gettimeofday().  This implementation is simply a thin
	  wrapper around clock_gettimer().
	* lib/: Add gmtime(), localtime(), and strftime()
	* binfmt/: Add exec().	This is just a wrapper that executes both
	  load_ and exec_module() in a more familiar manner.  It is not consistent
	  with more standard exec() functions, however, because (1) it returns
	  and (2) it requires symbol table arguments.
	* lib/: Add fileno()
	* examples/ostest: Several of the tests used a big, hard-coded stack size
	  when creating test threads (16Kb stacksize).	The stack size should
	  be controlled by the .config file or the OSTest won't work on platforms
	  with memory constraints.
	* netutils/thttpd: An initial port of Jeff Poskanzer's THTTPD HTTP server.
	  See http://acme.com/software/thttpd/.
	* examples/thttpd: A basic test program for THTTPD
	* configs/eagle100/thttpd: A build configuration for THTTPD on the Micromint
	  Eagle-100 LMS6918 (Cortex-M3) board.
	* configs/ntosd-dm320/thttpd: A build configuration for THTTPD on the Neuros
	  DM320 platform.
	* lib/: Added strstr() and strpbrk().
	* net/recvfrom.c and net/accept(): Sockets now support some non-blocking
	  operations, specifically for (1) TCP/IP read operations when read-ahead
	  buffering is enabled, and (2) TCP/IP accept() operations when TCP/IP
	  connection backlog is enabled.
	* fs/fs_fcntl.c and net/net_vfcntl.c: Minimal support provided for fcntl().
	  It can, at least, be used to mark sockets as blocking or non-blocking.
	* net/net_close.c: Fix bug in close().	If reference count not set to zero
	  then uip_tcpfree() will assert when DEBUG is enabled.
	* net/accept.c: Fix bug in accept().  The logic expected parts of the
	  return address structure to be initialized or it would return an error.

0.4.11 2009-09-16 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* fs/fs_read.c and fs/fs_write.c.  read() and write() to socket is the
	  same as recv() and send() with flags = 0.  Fixed!
	* net/recvfrom.c: Fix errors in return value from non-blocking socket read.
	* lib/lib_strcasecmp.c and lib/lib_strncasecmp.c.  Use of post-incremented
	  argument to macro caused strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() to fail.
	* lib/lib_strstr.c:  Length of substring off by one causes false alarm
	  sub-string matches.
	* arch/arm/src/lm3s/lm3s_ethernet.c: Fix errors in LMS6918 FIFO length
	  handling.  (1) The incorrect size of the ethernet header was being
	  subtracted on outgoing messages (4 vs 14), which caused outgoing messages to
	  be a little too long.  (2) The size of incoming FIFO messages is 6 bytes
	  larger than it expected (2 for the length and 4 for the FCS).  The unhandled
	  extra two bytes of length cause the driver to sometimes read one too many
	  words from the received FIFO (corrupting the next queued receive packet,
	  if any).
	* net/net_poll.c and net/uip/uip_tcpbacklog.c.	Fixed an important race condition
	  bug in polling for connections.  The logic worked if the poll was inplace
	  before the connection was received; but the poll failed to awaken if the
	  connection was already pending in the backlog when poll() was called.
	* net/net_close.c.	Fixed another important TCP/IP race condition bug:	If
	  the host closes the TCP connection just before the target calls close(), then
	  the close operation may hang indefinitely!
	* net/net_tcppoll.c.  Removed an unnecessary check for outstanding, un-ACKed
	  data.  The NuttX socket layer keeps track of ACKs and doesn't need this check;
	  removing the check should improve write throughput
	* Add DEBUG configuration option to enable debug console output without disabling
	  optimization (and vice versa)
	* Changed lots of occurrents of debug macro dbg() to lldbg().  dbg() uses
	  stdout to output debug data.	That works fine unless (1) the dbg() macro
	  is interrupt logic and the interrupted task has redirected stdout!  Most
	  changes were in uIP.
	* net/uip/uip_tcpinput.c.  Connection reference count was not being set correctly
	  when a socket is created by accepting a new connection.  Since the reference
	  count is bad, such sockets are not successfully duplicated when being passed
	  to new tasks.
	* net/net_clone.c.	Similarly, after a socket is cloned, its reference count
	  was not being initialized.
	* lib/lib_strstr.c.  Improperly incremented pointer could cause comparison
	  failures.
	* net/.  Connection reference count must always be set to zero before calling
	  uip_tcpfree() or it could trigger a DEBUGASSERT that verifies that the
	  reference count is zero before freeing a connection structure.
	* net/uip/uip_listen.c.  uip_accept() consulted the wrong list to find the
	  listener on a socket.  The previous logic worked most of the time, but
	  occasionally picked the wrong listener.
	* net/net_close.c and net/net_sockets.c.  Sockets were not being closed
	  when a task exits.  If many server tasks are created and exit without closing
	  sockets (such as with CGI tasks), then eventually, you will run out of sockets.
	* netutils/thttpd.	Basic functionality of THTTPD is complete.	This includes
	  serving up files from a file system and executing NXFLAT-based CGI programs
	  and pipe the stdout back to the HTTP client.

0.4.12 2009-10-17 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* arch/arm/src/stm32 and configs/stm3210e-eval.  Added basic support for the
	  STMicro STM32, Cortex-M3 MCU.  The specific port is to the STMicro STM3210E-EVAL
	  development board based around the STM32F103ZET6 MCU.
	* configs/stm3210e-eval/RIDE.  Added a basic STMicro RIDE7 project that can be
	  used to perform basic STM32 board bring-up (due to RIDE7 size limitations, it
	  cannot be used for the full NuttX bring-up).
	* configs/stm3210e-eval/ostest.  The STM32 now passes the basic NuttX OS test
	  at examples/ostest.  The rest should be a piece of cake.
	* configs/stm3210e-eval/nsh.  Added NuttShell (NSH) example.
	* configs/stm3210e-eval/src/stm32102e-internal.h.  Fix on-board LED GPIO definitions.
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/src/stm32/stm32_dma.c.  Added DMA channel support for the STM32
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/src/stm32/stm32_spi.c.  Added a DMA-based SPI driver for the STM32.
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/src/stm32/stm32_serial.c.	Finished interrupt-drivent,
	  USART console driver.  This makes NSH work perfectly.
	* Things left to do for the STM32 deferred to the 0.4.13 release:  USB device driver,
	  LCD driver and NX bringup on the eval board's display and MicroSD support.  An SPI
	  driver was included in the 0.4.12 release, but is not yet tested.

0.4.13 2009-11-04 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* include/nuttx/mtd.h.	Added a simple interface definition to support some
	  FLASH, EEPROM, NVRAM, etc. devices.
	* driver/mtd/m25px.c.  Added a driver for SPI based FLASH parts M25P64 and M25P128.
	* configs/stm3210e-eval/usbserial.	Add a USB serial configuration for the STM32.
	  Depends on the STM32 USB driver.
	* arch/arm/src/cortexm3/up_switchcontext.S & up_svccall.c.	Made an improvement
	  to context switching.  There are two types of context switches:  interrupt
	  context switches and background/user context switches.  This change should
	  improve the performance of those background/user context switches by a factor
	  of about two.
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/ - fix several typos in the serial logic.	It turns out
	  that these typose don't make any difference as long as you use only one
	  serial port and all uarts are configured the same.  But the typos are bugs
	  waiting to happen in any other configuration.
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/ - You have to configure CTS/RTS function pins for USART
	  2 and USART 3 even if you are not using flow control.
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_usbdev.c - Added a USB device-side driver for the
	  STM32.  NOTE: This is an early release of the USB driver.  There is at least
	  one known issue. The examples/usbserial test only executes correctly under
	  certain conditions (see the full bug description in the TODO list).
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_rcc.c - Fixed an error in clock initialization.
	  On some boards (none of mine), the HSE (high speed external clock) delay
	  loop times out if the optimization level is high. The STM32 then falls
	  back to the HSI (internal clock), and the system clock is too slow by a
	  factor of 11.1%.	This was fixed by simply add the volatile storage class
	  to the timeout loop counter
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_irq.c - Fixed a critical bug in the interrupt
	  control logic.  The wrong register was being used for interrupts in a
	  certain range.  Worked fine until you try to use an interrupt in that
	  range!

4.14 2009-12-02 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_gpio.c - Add support for configure an input GPIO
	  to generate an EXTI interrupt.
	* config/stm3210e-eval/src/up_buttons.c - Add support for on-board buttons.
	* include/nuttx/rwbuffer.h -- Add generic support for read-ahead buffering
	  and write buffering that can be used in any block driver.
	* include/nuttx/wqueue.h -- Added a generic worker thread that can used to
	  defer processing from an interrupt to a task.
	* include/nuttx/sdio.h -- Defines a generic SD/SDIO interface can can be
	  bound to a MMC/SD driver to provide SDIO-based MMC/SD support.
	* drivers/mmcsd/mmcsd_sdio.c -- Provides a an SDIO-based MMC/SD driver.
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_sdio.c -- Provides an STM32 implementation of
	  the SDIO interface defined in include/nuttx/sdio.h.
	* fs/fs_mount.c -- Correct error handling logic.  If the bind() method
	  fails, then a reserved node is left in the tree.	This causes subsequent
	  attempts to mount at the location to fail (reporting that the node
	  already exists).	This is a problem for block drivers for removable
	  media: The bind method could fail repeatedly until media is inserted.
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/chip.h & stm32_dma.c -- Fixed several definitions
	  that can cause compilation errors when DMA2 is enabled.
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_dma.c - Integrated and debugged STM32 DMA
	  functionality that was added in 0.4.12.
	* configs/stm3210e-eval/usbstorage - Add a configuration to exercise
	  the STM32 with the USB mass storage device class example
	  (examples/usbstorage).
	* configs/mcu123-lpc214x/up_usbstrg - Move LPC-specific code from
	  examples/usbstorage to configs/mcu123-lpc214x.
	* configs/stm321e-eval/up_usbstrg - Add STM32-specific logic for the
	  examples/usbstorage test.
	* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_usbdev.c - Fix bugs in STM32 USB device-side
	  driver:  (1) Need to disconnect after reset received, (2) Status setup
	  to recover from stall on TX endpoint.

5.0 2009-12-21 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* arch/hc: Adding framework to support m68hc11/12
	* configs/demo9s12ne64: Configuration to support Freescale DEMO9S12NE64
	  development board (MC9S12NE64 m68hcs12 processor).
	* drivers/mtd/ftl.c - A FLASH translation layer (FTL) has been implemented.
	  This layer will convert a FLASH MTD interface into a block driver that
	  can be used with any file system.  Good performance of this layer will
	  depend upon functioning write buffer support!
	  NOTE: FTL support is untested as of the initial check-in.
	* Numerous minor changes for m68hc12 to eliminate compilation errors and
	  warnings due to the fact that it uses 16-bit integer types and for casts
	  between uint32 (32-bits) and an mc68hc12 pointer (16-bits).
	* sys/types:  Size of off_t and blkcnt_t should not depend on size of
	  int in the architecture;  Removed non-standard type STATUS
	* include/ - Added header files stdint.h, stdbool.h, cxx/cstdint, and
	  cxx/cstdbool
	* Changed ALL references to non-standard fixed-size types (like uint32,
	  ubyte, etc.) to standard types (like uint32_t, uint8_t, etc.) from
	  stdint.h.  Use type bool and {true, false} from stdbool.  This effected
	  most of the files in the system!  Almost all configurations have been
	  re-built and many have been re-verified in order to get confidence in
	  these changes.
	* graphics/ and examples/nx - Fix numerous build errors that have been
	  introduced lately.  NXGL has suffered some bit-rot from not being used
	  in some of the most recent ports.
	* The misc/pascal NuttX add-on package has been updated to use the new
	  standard types from stdint.h and stdbool.h and re-integrated with NuttX.
	  The released pascal-2.0 will be the first version that contains the
	  compatible changes.
	* arch/arm/src/lm3s/lm3s_ethernet.c - Fixed an important bug in the LM3S
	  ethernet driver:  If full packet is received, the packet-too-big check
	  will fail because it needs to subtract 6 from the packet size (to
	  account for the 2-byte packet length and the 4-byte packet FCS in the
	  FIFO).
	* net/accept.c - Fixed a bad assertion (only happens when debug is enabled).
	* net/send.c net/uip/uip_tcpseqno.c - Fixed a critical error in the TCP/IP
	  logic.  The NuttX port of uIP imcludes logic to send data ahead without
	  waiting for ACKs from the recipient; this greatly improves throughput.
	  However, the packet sequence number was not being updated correctly and,
	  as a result, packets were not be ACKed by the recipient and transfers
	  would sometimes stall.  This is a very important bug fix (in fact, I
	  don't understand how TCP/IP worked at all without this fix???)
	* include/nuttx/arch.h and arch/*/common/up_udelay.c - Change argument
	  of up_udelay() to type useconds_t to avoid warnings when sizeof(int)
	  is 16-bits.
	* drivers/mmcsd/* - Add casts in contant expressions to avoid warnings
	  when sizeof(int) is 16-bits.

5.1 2010-01-30 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* arch/arm/src/lpc313x and arch/arm/include/lpc313x: Added framework
	  to support the NXP LPC3131.
	* Add configs/ea3131.  The LPC3131 port for the Embedded Artist EA3131
	  (LPC3131) is code complete and waiting for me to get hardware in
	  hand.
	* arch/arm/src/sam3u, arch/arm/include/sam3u, and configs/sam3u-ek -
	  Added the basic framework needed to begin a port for the SAM3U-EK
	  development board.
	* lib/lib_crc32.c: Add CRC32 logic by Gary S. Brown to lib/.  This is
	  the larger (but faster) table look-up version of the CRC32 algorithm.
	* confgs/ea3131/tools: Added a tool to create a image suitable for
	  use with the LPC313x bootloader.
	* configs/sam3u-3k/ostest - Completed verification of the basic NuttX
	  OS test for the SAM3U.
	* arch/arm/src/common/up_createstack - stack was always been cleared
	  when it was allocated.  This is a good feature for monitoring the 
	  stack during debug, but really hurts thread start-up performance.
	  Clearing is now done if CONFIG_DEBUG=y only.  Changes was only made
	  for arm, but really should be made for all architectures.
	* configs/sam3u/nsh - Added NSH configuration for SAM3U

5.2 2010-xx-xx Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* arch/arm/src/sam3u/sam3u_pio.c - Fix an address calculation error
	  that caused ports B & C to get mapped to the PIOA base address.
	  This is an important bugfix! (a patch is available)
