-  This release includes a combination of some new features as well as several bugfixes.
-  New features include:
+  This is primarily a bugfix release and includes some important corrections to the code:
   <ul>
     <li>
-      <b>TI/Luminary Stellaris LM3S9B96</b>.
-      Header file changes contributed by Tiago Maluta.
+      One very important bug fixes a race condition that can occur using
+	  semaphores that can be awakened by signals.  Under this particular
+	  race condition, a task could hang waiting for a semaphore.
     </li>
     <li>
-      <b>TI/Luminary Stellaris LM3S8962</b>.
-      Header file changes and support for the Stellaris LM3S8962 Ethernet+CAN Evaluation Board contributed by Larry Arnold.
+	  Corrections to lm3s8962 port contributed by Larry Arnold.  That
+	  port is purported to work correctly with these changes in place.
     </li>
+  </ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+  Plus less critical bugfixes as detailed in the ChangeLog.  New features
+  include:
+  <ul>
     <li>
-      <b>On-Demand Paging Support</b>. 
-      The basic logic for the On-Demand Paging feature is complete, implemented for the NXP LPC3131, and partially tested.
-      See <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXDemandPaging.html">On-Demand Paging Documentation</a>.
-      Some additional test infrastructure will be needed in order to complete the verification.
-      See the EA3131 <a href="http://nuttx.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nuttx/nuttx/configs/ea3131/README.txt?view=log">README</a> file for details.
+	* A new configuration to support the mbed.org LPC1768 board (Contributed
+	  by Dave Marples), and
     </li>
     <li>
-      <b>Two Pass Build Support</b>.
-      The make system now supports a two pass build where a relocatable, partially linked object is created on the first pass and that object is linked with the NuttX libraris to produce the final executable on the second pass.
-      This two pass build is currently only used to support the On-Demand paging feature:
-      The first pass link forces critical logic into the locked text region;
-      the second pass builds the NuttX executable more-or-less as normal.
-    <li>
-      <b><code>CONFIG_APP_DIR</code></b>.
-      Generalized the way in which applications are built and linked with NuttX.
-      The new configuration <code>CONFIG_APP_DIR</code> replaces <code>CONFIG_EXAMPLE</code>.
-      <code>CONFIG_EXAMPLE</code> used to identify the sub-directory within the NuttX <code>examples/</code> directory that held the example application to be built.
-      That made it awkward to configure to build an application that resided outside of the NuttX <code>examples/</code> directory.
-      <code>CONFIG_APP_DIR</code> is more general;
-      it can be used to refer to any directory containing the application to be built.
-      <ul>
-        <p><small>
-          For people who have their own configurations and/or Makefiles, you will need to make a couple of changes:
-          <ul>
-            <li>
-              Replace all occurrences of <code>CONFIG_EXAMPLE=foobar</code> with <code>CONFIG_APP_DIR=examples/foobar</code> in all of the configuration files.
-            </li>
-            <li>
-              Replace any occurrences of <code>examples/$(CONFIG_EXAMPLE)</code> with <code>$(CONFIG_APP_DIR)</code>
-            </li>
-            <li>
-              Replace any occurrences of <code>lib$(CONFIG_EXAMPLE)$(LIBEXT)</code> with <code>libapp$(LIBEXT)</code> in your Makefiles.
-            </li>
-            <li>
-              Check any other occurrences of <code>CONFIG_EXAMPLE</code>.
-            </li>
-          </ul>
-        </small></p>
-      </ul>
-    </li>
-    <li>
-      <b>Other</b>.
-      Several bugfixes are included as well as code changes to eliminate some warnings.
-      See the ChangeLog for details.

-
-	* configs/ea3131/locked - Create logic to support a two pass build
-	  process:  The first pass forces critical logic into the locked text
-	  region, the second pass builds the NuttX executable more-or-less as
-	  normal.
-	* Makefile, arch/arm/src/Makefile, configs/ea3131 - Add logic to
-	  support a two-pass final link.  This logic is only in place in
-	  the arch/arm/src/Makefile for now.
-	* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_internal.h - Add missing parentheses in
-	  macros definitions (patch submitted by Tiago Maluta).
-	* Documents/NuttxPortingGuide.html, configs/README.txt, etc. -
-	  Replaced CONFIG_EXAMPLE with CONFIG_APP_DIR (see documents for
-	  desciption).  This allows NuttX application code to be built
-	  outside of the examples/ directory.
-
-	  For people who have their own configurations and/or Makefiles,
-	  you will need to make a couple of changes:
-
-      - Replace all occurrences of CONFIG_EXAMPLE=foobar with
-	    CONFIG_APP_DIR=examples/foobar in all of the configuration
-	    files.
-	  - Replace any occurrences of examples/$(CONFIG_EXAMPLE) with
-	    $(CONFIG_APP_DIR)
-	  - Replace any occurrences of lib$(CONFIG_EXAMPLE)$(LIBEXT)
-	    with libapp$(LIBEXT) in your Makefiles.
-	  - Check any other occurrences of CONFIG_EXAMPLE.
-
-	* arch/arm/src/lpc313x/lpc313x_spi.c - Fix compilation error when
-	  when CONFIG_DEBUG is enabled.
-	* arch/arm/src/lm3s and arch/arm/include/lm3s - Support for the
-	  lm3s8962 contributed by Larry Arnold.
-	* configs/lm328962-ek - Support for the TI/Stellaris EKC-LM3S8962
-	  board (also contributed by Larry Arnold).
-	* arch/arm/src/lpc313x/lpc313x_boot.c - The call to lpc313x_boardinitialized()
-	  should not be conditioned on CONFIG_ARCH_LEDs being defined!
-	* arch/arm/src/lpc313x/ - APB0 and APB1 cannot lie in different
-	  sections; they are too close together.
-	* arch/arm/src/lpc313x/lpc13x_boot.c - Resetting all of the clocking
-	  had a side effect of wiping out the first 6 words of memory where the
-	  interrupt vectors are located (and also not resetting the fractional
-	  dividers).  This is not usually noticeable because the IRQ vectors
-	  are after this point, but really causes problems if you want to handle
-	  data and prefectch aborts which are within this zeroed region.
+nuttx-5.11 2010-10-01 Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
+
+	* configs/ea3131/src/up_fillpage.c - Added new configuration item
+	  CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH.  If CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH is defined, then it
+	  is the full path to a file on a mounted file system that contains
+	  a binary image of the NuttX executable.  Pages will be filled by
+	  reading from offsets into this file that correspond to virtual
+	  fault addresses.  up_fillpage.c implements logic to perform page
+	  files using the CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH file.
+	* configs/mbed - Add configuration to support the mbed.org LPC1768
+	  board (Contributed by Dave Marples).
+	* sched/sem_wait.c and sem_waitirq.c - Eliminate a race condition
+	  that can occur when a semaphore wait is interrupt by a signal.
+	  (see email thread: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nuttx/message/530)
+	* drivers/mtd/at45db.c - Add a driver for the Atmel AT45DB161D 4Mbit
+	  SPI FLASH part (untested on initial check-in).
+	* arch/arm/src/lm3s and arch/arm/include/lm3s - Corrections for the
+	  lm3s8962 port contributed by Larry Arnold.  That port is purported
+	  to work correctly with these changes in place.
+	* examples/ostest/prioinherit.c - Need to reinitialize globals if
+	  test is ran repeatedly in a loop.
+	* configs/ez80f910200zco - Updated to used ZDS-II 4.11.1
