- 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.
Add additional NOPs as required by hardware manual.
Microblaze:
Previously a task inherited the exception enable state from the context from which xTaskCreate() was called. Now tasks all have exceptions enabled if they are enabled in the hardware.
Windows/GCC:
Improve the implementation of portGET_HIGHEST_PRIORITY.
Common code:
Simplify the pointer use in xQueueGenericCreate()
Demo apps:
Remove jpg images that were used to create web pages.
Fix capitalisation issues in some demos where some header files are incldued with the wrong case, preventing building on Linux.
Remove the Microblaze demos that are using obsolete tools.
Update main_blinky for the Windows port demo to include a software timer example.
Exclude the entire croutine.c file when configUSE_CO_ROUTINES is 0.
New ports:
Added Cortex-M7 IAR and Keil port layers that include a minor errata workaround r0p1 Cortex-M7 devices.
Added Cortex-M4F port layer for CCS.
New demo applications:
Added demo application for STM32F7.
Added demo application for SAMv71.
+ 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).
Helper updates to allow a count of the number of mutexes held to be added.
Updates to the CCS Cortex-R4 implementation necessitated by a change in compiler semantics.
Update PIC32MX and MZ ports to assert if a non ISR safe function is called from an ISR.
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 EDS support in the PIC24 port layer.
Remove unnecessary EHB instructions from PIC32 port.
In the PIC32 port assembly code, replace the &= code with a single ins instruction.
