Re: [lwip-users] modulename for 0.6.4

[Ed Sutter]

Leon,
I recently upgraded from 0.6.2 to 0.6.4, but I did this
by simply grabbing the file lwip-0.6.4.tar.gz from the Filelist (downloads)
page.  I've been assuming this a legitimate way to retrieve the 0.6.4 version.
Is this correct?
Thanks
Ed Sutter
