[lwip-users] upgrading 1.3.2 to CVS

[Tyrel Newton]

I just upgraded my application from using 1.3.2 to the latest CVS head. 
The biggest change for me was reworking the majority of my 
FreeRTOS-based sys_arch layer. The one thing I'm still a little fuzzy on 
is the new timer implementation. Previously, I had to store a pointer to 
the head sys_timeout structure (or whatever it was called) within the 
thread control structure, since previously "timeouts were handled on a 
per-thread basis". To me, this means that application-level threads 
should no longer use the lwIP-provided timeout mechanisms, but rather 
the mechanisms provided directly by the underlying port layer.

A little clarification (or at least expansion on the explanations in the 
changelog) on how timeouts are handled in the latest version would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Tyrel
