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).
Introduce xPortRunning variable into Win32 simulator port layer.
Add port optimised task selection macro for the GCC Win32 port layer (the MSVC version has had one for a while).
Ensure the event list item value does not get modified by code in tasks.c (priority inheritance, or priority change) when it is in use by the event group implementation.
Reset the expected block time variable when a task is suspended or deleted in case the value held in the variables was associated with the task just suspended or deleted.
Add a task pre-delete hook to allow the insertion of any port specific clean up when a task is deleted.
Increase use of 'const' qualifiers.
Add vPortCloseRunningThread() into the Win32 port layer to attempt to allow Windows threads to be closed more gracefully when a task deletes itself.
Add configCLEAR_TICK_TIMER_INTERRUPT into PIC32 port layer to allow the timer configuration to be changed without any edits to the port layer being required.
Add prvTaskExitError() into the PIC32 port layer to trap tasks that attempt to exit from their implementing function.
Provide the ability to trap interrupt stack overflows in the PIC32 port.
Radically improve the timing in the Win32 simulator port layer.
Correct header comments in the UARTCommandConsole.c file used in the SmartFusion2 demo.
Exercise the new xQueueSpacesAvailable() function in the MSVC demo.
Add defaults for the new traceMALLOC and traceFREE trace macros.
Catch tasks trying to exit their functions in the Cortex-M0 ports.
Add additional comments to timers.c in response to a support forum question.
Initialise _impure_ptr prior to the first task being started.
Prior to V7.5.0 a yield pended in the tick hook would have occurred during the same tick interrupt. Return pdTRUE from xTaskIncrementTick() if a yield is pending to revert to that behaviour.
Don't reset the stack location when starting the scheduler in Cortex-M0 ports as the vector offset register is not implemented and XMC1000 devices have their application vector address somewhere other than 0x00.
Update the Cortex-A9 port to include asserts if an ISR safe FreeRTOS function is called from an interrupt that has a higher logical priority than configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY (or whatever the CA9 equivalent is called), and also assert if the binary point is not set correctly.
