Release 0.30.0 · ssilverman/QNEthernet

Added

Added a SimpleHTTPClient example.
Added a way to get the driver capabilities: EthernetClass::driverCapabilities() and driver_get_capabilities(dc).
Added a way to get the library version: EthernetClass::libraryVersion().
New QNETHERNET_DO_LOOP_IN_YIELD configuration macro for indicating that the library should attempt to hook into or override yield() to call Ethernet.loop().
New version of receiveQueueSize() in EthernetUDP and EthernetFrame that returns the number of unprocessed packets or frames.
Added droppedReceiveCount() and totalReceiveCount() to EthernetUDP and EthernetFrame.
Added driver_set_link_speed(speed) and driver_set_link_full_duplex(flag).
Added EthernetClass::renewDHCP().
Added EthernetClass::interfaceName().
Added setOutgoingTTL(ttl) and outgoingTTL() functions for modifying and accessing the TTL field, respectively, in the outgoing IP header, to EthernetClient and EthernetUDP.
Added EthernetUDP::receivedTTL() for retrieving the TTL value of the last received packet.
Added "Compatibility with other APIs" section to the README.

Separated setting the MAC address from driver initialization.
Changed the netif name to "en0".
Added macro-gated calls to Ethernet.loop() after any yield()s in case an overridden version doesn't call this. This affects:
- DNSClient::getHostByName()
- EthernetClass::waitForLink()
- EthernetClass::waitForLocalIP()
- EthernetClient::connect()
- EthernetClient::stop()
Updated example yield() implementation notes for non-EventResponder versions.
Changed setReceiveQueueSize(size) to setReceiveQueueCapacity(capacity) and receiveQueueSize() to receiveQueueCapacity() in both EthernetUDP and EthernetFrame.
Updated QNETHERNET_ENABLE_RAW_FRAME_LOOPBACK behaviour to also check for the broadcast MAC addresses.
Added FLASHMEM to some driver functions.
Changed EthernetClass and MDNSClass hostname() function to return a const char * instead of a String.
Now always setting the DNS in EthernetClass::begin(ip, mask, gateway, dns), even if it's zero.
Use rename instead of end-then-start when the netif has already been added, in MDNSClass::begin(hostname).
DHCP is started when just the IP address is the "any" address instead of all of the IP address, netmask, and gateway.
begin(ip, mask, gateway, dns) now always sets the DNS address.
Ethernet.broadcastIP() now returns 255.255.255.255 if Ethernet is not initialized.

Removed EthernetClass::isLinkStateDetectable() in favour of the driver capabilities.
Removed get_uint32(ip) utility function because a static_cast<uint32_t>() is sufficient.
