2002-01-23 Florian Schulze announces that I hacked a port of lwIP to Win32 (Visual C++ 6.0). I did this mainly for testing some stuff, but it may be usefull for others as well. Its not really nicely done, but it works. It uses the WinPCap library for the netif. The sys_arch included is currently only single threaded. The zip-file containing the port can downloaded here. 2002-01-09 Axon Digital Design BV in The Netherlands is merging lwIP with their current IP stack for use in the Synapse modular broadcasting system, deployed at several broadcasters (such as BBC and CNN) and broadcast events (Formula 1 races). Axon have contributed their CS8900A driver and will submit their DHCP client back to the lwIP project as open-source. More info about Axon can be found at their website. 2002-01-09 UK based Tangent Devices Ltd are incorporating lwIP in their film and video post-production equipment, which is planned to be used on the post-production of Lord of the Rings parts 2 and 3 among other films. More information about Tangent Devices Ltd can be found at their website. 2002-01-08 Florian Schulze announced yesterday that his port of lwIP to the MS-DOS/DJGPP platform works and can be downloaded from http://homepages.fh-giessen.de/~hg10836/dev/djgpp/lwipdjgpptest-0.1.zip. 2002-01-08 Jose Vasconcellos announced yesterday that the current CVS version of lwIP and the upcoming 0.5.1 version will be able to run as a user process under Linux. 2002-01-04 Leon Woestenbergs CS8900a device driver has been updated to support statistics gathering. It can be found at http://www.esrac.ele.tue.nl/~leon/lwip/ 2001-12-19 Leon Woestenberg announced yesterday that his CS8900a device driver for lwIP is released and avaliable for download at http://www.esrac.ele.tue.nl/~leon/lwip/. 2001-12-12 Version 0.5.0 released. 2001-11-07 Joe MacDonald has put an HTML version of the lwIP source code online. 2001-11-07 Version 0.4.2 released. 2001-10-25 The mailling list archives are now online. 2001-10-10 Robert Pleh is porting lwIP to the RTEMS platform running the 68360 CPU. First tests are running OK (ping and web server). 2001-10-09 Jason Morgan announced that he has ported lwIP to the Infineon C166 (ST10) platform with a SMsC LAN91C96 (or LAN91C94) Ethernet module. The Keil compiler was used. 2001-10-09 Hongsong Li just announced that lwIP has been successfully ported to the 8051, based on uC/OS 1.09. Both uC/OS and lwIP are compiled using the Keil C51 6.14 C compiler. Since the resulting code size is rather large (60k for lwIP + uC/OS), it is probably more suited for a demo rather than for an actual product. 2001-10-08 The lwIP mailinglist is started. 2001-10-08 Version 0.4.1 released. This release is a bugfix release and fixes a lot of bugs from previous releases. 2001-10-02 A lot of bugs in verion 0.4 have been corrected and version 0.4.1 will be released in the nearest week. 2001-06-21 lwIP version 0.4 released. This release contains a new memory subsystem; instead of allocating memory from a shared heap, objects that are frequently allocated and deallocated are now kept in memory pools. The memory and buffer subsystems now have support for 4- and 2-byte aligned memory. lwIP 0.4 has also been tested and run under the RTXC real-time kernel. lwip-demo.sics.se is running lwIP 0.4. 2001-06-20 lwIP is now online! The EIS2001 student project at Luleå University have donated some hardware on which lwIP is running a web server. It is accessible through the URL http://lwip-demo.sics.se. 2001-06-12 The EIS2001 student project built a board with a Mitsubishi M16 CPU with 10k on-chip RAM and a single-chip CS8900A Ethernet controller. lwIP has been successfully ported to this platform. 2001-04-25 lwIP was successfully demonstrated on the SICS Open House 2001. We equipped pulse sensors with a M16 microprocessor and a Bluetooth chip and distributed pulse sensor data using TCP/IP. 2001-03-01 Version 0.3.1 released. This is mainly a bugfix release which fixes a few bugs in the TCP congestion control, window updates and retransmissions. 2001-02-27 Version 0.3 released. This release includes a new and improved directory structure, better error handling, better stability when run with very tight memory constraints, many TCP bug fixes, and more comments have been added to the code. See the change log for details. 2001-02-20 Updated documentation: a report describing the design and implementation of lwIP as well as some brief instructions for running lwIP under FreeBSD or Linux. 2001-01-29 Initial release (version 0.2). $Date: 2002/03/24 08:35:53 $
