Re: [lwip-devel] lwIP 1.3.2?

[address@hidden]

Hi all,

What's the current timeplan on releasing 1.3.2? From the list of bugs 
targeted to 1.3.2, there is only one remaining and I'd like to work on 
some non-1.3.2 bugs/patches/tasks that would fit into our next 
lwIP-containing product.

However, I'd also be happy to include some other (mainly TCP-related) 
bugs into 1.3.2, as 1.4.0 might take a while... These would be:
- bug #26251: RST process in TIME_WAIT TCP state
- bug #26672: close connection when receive window = 0
- bug #26062: FIN_WAIT_2 state following tcp_close should timeout eventually
and maybe also bug #25882: TCP hangs on MSS > pcb->snd_wnd

Working on these will of course delay 1.3.2 a little, but I think that 
would be worth it, especially as 1.4.0 shall include new features and 
will presumably change the API (a little at least). Also, most of these 
bugs aren't big code changes but rather bugs that need discussion on how 
to solve them.
