- Remove the standard demo files that used the [long since deprecated] alternative API.
- Add standard demo task that tests the new xTaskAbortDelay() function.
- Update the Win32 Visual Studio project to use Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.
- Rename the xGenericListItem TCB member to xStateListItem as it better describes the member's purpose.
Move structures used for static allocation of tasks and queues into FreeRTOS.h from their individual API header files.
Add SAME70 Xplained Atmel Studio project.
Update SAMV71 Atmel Studio project to use Studio 7.
Revert some changes to GenQTest.c standard demo task which only function correctly when a queue registry was used.
Add additional asserts into timers.c.
Trivial changes and changes in demo applications:
RX113 IAR project is not building and running.
Make FreeRTOS_SetupInterrupt() and FreeRTOS_ClearInterrupt() weak symbols in the Zynq SDK repository.
Correct typo in the port layer comments that was cut and paste into multiple files.
+ Fix a few compiler warnings.
+ Add TickType_t specific critical sections so critical sections are not used when accessing the tick count in cases where the access is atomic (32-bit tick count, 32-bit architecture).
+ Optimise Cortex-M4F ports by inlining some critical section macros.
+ Original ports used a #define to set the path to portmacro.h - that method has been obsolete for years and now all the old definitions have been moved into a separate header files called deprecated_definitions.h.
+ Cortex-M port now check the active vector bits against 0xff when determining if a function is called from an interrupt - previously only a subset of the bits (0x1f) were checked.
+ Add in new standard demo/test files TaskNotify.c/h and include the files in the simulator demos.
+ Update trace recorder code, and some demos to use the new version (more to do).
+ Introduce uxTaskPriorityGetFromISR().
+ Minor typo corrections.
+ Update MingW simulator demo to match the MSVC simulator demo.
When a task is unblocked the need for a context switch is only signalled if the unblocked task has a priority higher than the currently running task, instead of higher than or equal to the priority of the currently running task.
Replace #define types with typedefs.
Rename all typedefs to have a _t extension.
Add #defines to automatically convert old FreeRTOS specific types to their new names (with the _t).
Add portYIELD_FROM_ISR() macros to Cortex-M ports. The new macro just calls the exiting portEND_SWITCHING_ISR() macro.
Remove code from the MSVC port layer that was left over from a previous implementation and become obsolete.
Changed eTaskStateGet() to eTaskGetState() and added #define to ensure backward compatibility.
Added configEXPECTED_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_SLEEP definition - was previously hard coded to 2.
Slight change to the default CM3 tickless sleep function to allow the idle time to be set to zero in the pre-sleep processing macro.
Changed stack alignment for the FreeRTOS-MPU port to ensure it didn't trigger the assert() in the generic create function.
