+<p>
+ This 43<sup>rd</sup> release of NuttX was made on September 16, 2009 and is available for download from the
+ <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189573">SourceForge</a> website.
The change log associated with the release is available <a href="#currentrelease">here</a>.
Unreleased changes after this release are available in CVS.
These unreleased changes are listed <a href="#pendingchanges">here</a>.
+ This release of NuttX incorporates the verified port of Jeff Poskanzer's <a href="http://acme.com/software/thttpd">THTTPD</a> HTTP server.
+ Many of the key features of THTTPD have been tested on the Micromint Eagle-100 development board (Cortex-M3).
+ These tests verify:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Serving of files from any file system, and </li>
+ <li>Execution of CGI executable.
+ This release supports execution of <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXNxFlat.html">NXFLAT executables</a> residing on a ROMFS file system.
+</ul>
+<p>
+ A standard CGI interface is used: Information is pasted to the CGI program via POST commands and via environment variables.
+ CGI socket I/O is redirected to <code>stdin</code> and <code>stdout</code> so that the CGI program only need to <code>printf()</code> to send its content back to the HTTP client.
</p>
- The changes in thsi release focus on the port of Jeff Poskanzer's
- <a href="http://acme.com/software/thttpd/">THTTPD</a> to NuttX.
- Do to limited time to work on NuttX, that port is still not fully functional.
- However, numerous related bug-fixes and functional additions for THTTPD were
- added:
- <ul>
- <li>Several new standard C-library functions (<code>fileno</code>, <code>strstr</code>,
- <code>strpbrk</code>, <code>fcntl</code>).</li>
- <li>Improved and extended timing APIs (<code>mktime</code>, <code>gmtime</code>, <code>gmtime_r</code>,
- <code>gettimeofday</code>, <code>localtime</code>, <code>localtime_r</code>, and
- <code>strftime</code>)</li>
- <li>Networking enhancements: <code>recvfrom</code> and <code>accept</code> now work with non-blocking
- sockets.</li>
- <li><a href="NuttXNxFlat.html">NXFLAT</a> extensions (<code>exec</code>)</li>
- <li>Pattern matching logic.</li>
- <li>And miscellaneous bug fixes (see the <a href="#currentrelease">ChangeLog</a> for a complete list).</li>
- </ul>
+<p>
+ Another value to this THTTPD integration effort has been that THTTPD has provided a very good test bed for finding NuttX networking bugs.
+ Several very critical networking bugs have been fixed with this 0.4.11 release (see the <a href="#currentrelease">ChangeLog</a> for details).
+ Networking throughput has also been greatly improved.
+ Anyone using NuttX networking should consider upgrading to this release.

- * 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 Jef 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.

* 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.
