No you haven't, but unfortunately, documentation is rare. You are 
welcome to write something and share it, though!

As to the ethernetif-upgrade: the file CHANGELOG in the source directory 
shows a *lot* of changes to 1.3.0, but if you don't want to read them 
all, you could compare the 2 ethernetif.c files from 1.1.0 and 1.3.0 and 
see that there is not that much difference.

After all, the stack doesn't get more unstable than 1.1.0 if you don't 
upgrade you ethernetif (aside from changed function, I think it was 
link_output); you simply don't get the concurrency problem fixed. If 
that didn't show up when you used 1.1.0, it won't show up now, either ;-=
