Changes between V2.0.0 and V2.2.1 releases:
+ Updated the source code to adhere to stricter MISRA compliance.
+ Improved security by giving users the option to reject UDP packets with a
checksum of zero even though the UDP spec allows it.
+ Improved robustness by checking packet lengths in software even if the check
has already been performed in the hardware.
+ Added ipconfigIP_PASS_PACKETS_WITH_IP_OPTIONS macro to enable users to
drop/accept IP Packets containing IP options (IP options are not supported).
+ Modified xDataLength to always mean "total number of bytes" to impart more
clarity.
+ Replaced the ipconfigRAND32 macro with a function
xApplicationGetRandomNumber(). The return value indicates if the randomiser
is broken or working properly. Before this, a random value of 0 was treated
as invalid, whereas 0 can be a proper random value.
+ Made changes in DNS to make asynchronous lookup work.
+ Made FreeRTOS_OutputARPRequest() available for application code. Now the
application can start an ARP request directly by sending a UDP packet.
+ Made Socket_t and SocketSet_t point to a struct in stead of void.
+ Corrected the DNSs protocol-checksum calculation length.
+ Corrected length-check in usGenerateProtocolChecksum().
+ Modified pxGetNetworkBufferWithDescriptor() function to check if a counting
semaphore has been created. Earlier when a user tried to get a Network
Buffer before the IP-task started, the function could crash.
+ Made TCP low-water/high-water limits configurable with a socket option.
+ The 'ucFirstOptionByte' was counted twice in earlier releases, subtract 1
byte to send the correct amount of bytes.
+ Corrected the WIN size reporting to the TCP peer. The WIN size as reported
to the TCP peer was sometimes running slightly behind.
+ Added a function FreeRTOS_dnsclear() which invalidates the entire DNS cache.
+ Added DNS response transaction ID check. The DNS cache shall only be updated
when the ID in the reply comes from the device.
Changes between 180821 and V2.0.0 releases:
+ Move the TCP source code from FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Labs to FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS
repository.
Changes between 160919 and 180821 releases:
+ Multiple security improvements and fixes in packet parsing routines, DNS
