NS 2.40

Bugs

ID	Summary
NS-172	Introduce several SLNETSOCK TCP socket options
NS-167	HTTPClient reconnects fail for secure connections
NS-166	Add support for ENETDOWN in ErrnoUtil_set
NS-159	TCP_NODELAY should be defined in netinet/tcp.h
NS-157	SlNetSock_create() does not use the highest priority interface
NS-155	Memory leak in HTTPClient_connect's call to startSecureMode
NS-129	gethostbyname is not returning correct data structure
NS-124	Add support for SLNETSOCK_OPSOCK_BROADCAST socket option

Enhancements

ID	Summary
NS-107	Add A8F (gcc), A9F (gcc), A15F (gcc), A53F (gcc) and R5F (ccs) libraries

Compatibility Notes

• To address NS-129, gethostbyname() now correctly complies with the POSIX spec. Users should not expect the previous, errant implementation.
• To address NS-159, TCP_NODELAY is now correctly declared in netinet/tcp.h. Previously it was errantly declared in sys/socket.h. Users of this definition should update their code to use the new, now-POSIX-compliant header.h

NS-130	inet_ntop() should expect/accept addresses in network byte order
NS-128	Enable HTTPClient to send custom headers in HTTP requests
NS-126	Memory Leak in the JSON lib

Compatibility Notes

The Network Services Modules have been “rebooted” to improve alignment across TI’s various networking stacks. As a result, NS 2.x is completely incompatible with NS 1.x releases, and there are gaps between the features available in NS 1.x and 2.x.
