Updated pvContainer member of list items to List_t * rather than void * as they are always contained in a list if anywhere.
Made EventGroupHandle_t typesafe pointer to forward referenced struct rather than void pointer.
Made TaskHandle_t typesafe pointer to forward referenced struct, rather than a void pointer.
Ensure tasks that are blocked indefinitely on a direct to task notification return their state as eBlocked, previously was returned as eSuspended - making its behaviour consistent with event objects.
Fix typo in stream_buffer.c where "size_t xBytesAvailable ); PRIVILEGED_FUNCTION" had the semicolon in the wrong place.
Add testing of Stream Buffers to the AbortDelay.c tests.
Guard inclusion of C code when FreeRTOSConfig.h is included from an assembly file in the ARM7_LPC2129_IAR demo.
Fix minor typos in the Windows demo comment blocks.
Update the MingW/Eclipse project to add a code coverage build configuration in addition to the existing Debug build configuration.
Update StreamBufferDemo.c so functions are called directly, rather than via configASSERT(), so their code coverage can be measured when configASSERT() is not defined.
In the Win32 port, replace the call to TerminateProcess() in vPortEndScheduler() with exit( 0 ) - which triggers the writing of the code coverage data to the disk.
Fix bug in ucStreamBufferGetStreamBufferType() - which is only used by the Percepio trace tool.
Update the line within vTaskStartScheduler() that was setting xTickCount to 0 to instead set it to configINITIAL_TICK_COUNT.
Update queue code to allow an overwrite operation on a queue that is in a queue set, and add prvTestQueueOverwriteWithQueueSet() to test function.
Update Eclipse Win32 project to bring it closer the the Visual Studio equivalent.
Correct definition of StaticTask_t in the case that portUSE_MPU_WRAPPERS is set to 1.
prvTaskCheckFreeStackSpace() now returns configSTACK_DEPTH_TYPE to allow return values greater than max uint16_t value if required.
xStreamBufferSend() and xStreamBufferReceive() no longer clear task notification bits - clearing was unnecessary as only the task notification state is used.
FreeRTOS+TCP: Improve print output when using WinPCap to assist in selecting the correct network interface.
FreeRTOS kernel: Fix extern "C" { in stream_buffer.h.
FreeRTOS kernel: Correct tskKERNEL_VERSION_NUMBER and tskKERNEL_VERSION_MAJOR constants for V10.

Added test code to GenQTest to test the new priority dis-inheritance functionality.
Allow the default names given to the Idle and Timer tasks to be overwridden by definitions in FreeRTOSConfig.h.
Introduce configSTACK_DEPTH_TYPE so the application writer change the type used to specify a stack size from uint16_t to whatever they like. Defaults to uint16_t if not defined.
Introduce configINITIAL_TICK_COUNT to allow users to start the tick count at something other than 0. Used for testing, but overflows can be better tested by setting configUSE_16_BIT_TICKS to 1.
Split xQueueGenericReceive() into xQueueReceive(), xQueuePeek() and xQueueSemaphoreTake() as the first step in refactoring xQueueGenericReceive().
Add Cortex-M3 port layer for Code Composer Studio - previously there was only a Cortex-M4F port.
Introduce configPRE_SUPPRESS_TICKS_AND_SLEEP_PROCESSING() to allow applications to prevent portSUPPRESS_TICKS_AND_SLEEP() being called. Previously the portPRE_SLEEP_PROCESSING() macro could only be used to abort entry into sleep time after clocks had been re-programmed for the distant wake time.
Introduce configINCLUDE_FREERTOS_TASK_C_ADDITIONS_H, which allows a user provided header file to be included at the bottom of the tasks.c source file, which can add user functions and access file scope data.
Replace global on/off switches used for lint errors with save/restore switches.
+ Add configASSERT() into ARM Cortex-M ports to check the number of priority
bit settings.
+ Clear the 'control' register before starting ARM Cortex-M4F ports in case
the FPU is used before the scheduler is started. This just saves a few
bytes on the main stack as it prevents space being left for a later save
of FPU registers.
+ Added xSemaphoreGetMutexHolderFromISR().
+ Corrected use of portNVIC_PENDSVSET to portNVIC_PENDSVSET_BIT in MPU ports.
- Clear the SysTick current value register before starting the SysTick (only required if something uses SysTick before starting the scheduler).
- Ensure atomic operations are thread safe by executing clrex in the context switch.

Add RVDS ARM Cortex-M4F MPU port.
Increase the size of each buffer allocated to pbufs in the Microblaze lwIP demo to prevent pbufs chaining.

Tidy up CEC1302 demo.
Ensure bit 0 of the task address is clear when setting up stack of initial Cortex-M3/4/7 stacks (for strict compliance, although not practically necessary).
vTaskGetTaskInfo() changed to vTaskGetInfo() - with a macro added for backward compatibility.
Reduce the number of xTaskCreateStatic() parameters by having the function return the task handle, rather than pass the task handle out using a parameter. This is also consistent with other objectCreate() functions.

+ The documentation for the static allocation functions in the header files has not yet been updated for this revision.
Kernel updates:
+ Simplify the static allocation of objects implementation.

+ Add an MSVC demo that only uses static allocation, and does not include a FreeRTOS heap.
+ Update the MSVC project to use both configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION and configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION.
+ Update the MingW project to use only configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION.
Fix build error when configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION and configNUM_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS were greater than zero at the same time.
Allow the pdMS_TO_TICKS macro to be overridden by a definition in FreeRTOSConfig.h.
- Remove the standard demo files that used the [long since deprecated] alternative API.
- Add standard demo task that tests the new xTaskAbortDelay() function.
- Update the Win32 Visual Studio project to use Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.
- Rename the xGenericListItem TCB member to xStateListItem as it better describes the member's purpose.
+ Added xTaskAbortDelay() function, which causes a task to exit the Blocked state even before the timeout has expired or the event the task is waiting for has occurred.
+ For efficiency and code size reasons on some architectures, replace many instances of "== pdTRUE" with "!= pdFALSE".
- Major refactor to consolidate the multiple places where a task is removed from a ready list and placed in a delay list into a single function, reducing code size, and enabling the easy addition of up-coming functionality.
- Replace the enum used for task notification states with a uint8_t to reduce the TCB struct size with some compilers, and allow additional members to be added without increasing its size.
- Rearrange FreeRTOS.h so all INCLUDE_ defaults are grouped together.
+ Added xPortIsInsideInterrupt() to RVDS ARM CM4F port - the same will get added to other ports in time.
Demo application code:
+ Added first pass Microchip CEC1302 demo for Keil.
+ Harden the new StaticAllocation.c standard demo tasks against integer promotion rules causing problems on 16-bit architectures.
Add a member to the TaskStatus_t structure that is used to return the base address of the stack used by the task being queried.
Add xTaskGetTaskHandle() that allows the handle of a task to be looked up from the task's text name.
Continue to document the macros that allow RTOS objects to be created using statically allocated memory.
Introduced vApplicationDaemonTaskStartupHook(), which allows initialisation that that needs to be executed after the scheduler has been started to be executed from the RTOS daemon task.
Call prvResetNextTaskUnblockTime() in xTaskResumeAll() if a task is moved from the pending ready list - this can prevent an unnecessary wake from sleep mode if a task is unblocked by an interrupt while in a low power tickless state.
Move structures used for static allocation of tasks and queues into FreeRTOS.h from their individual API header files.
Add SAME70 Xplained Atmel Studio project.
Update SAMV71 Atmel Studio project to use Studio 7.

+ Updated the Win32 MSVC project to test statically allocated tasks being created and deleted.
+ Introduced StaticAllocation.c standard demo task.
+ Previously, if a task was deleted, the memory allocated to the task by the RTOS was freed in the Idle task. Now if a task deletes another task the memory is freed immediately. The idle task is however still responsible for freeing the memory when a task deletes itself.
+ Added pcQueueGetQueueName() function to return the name of a queue from its handle, assuming the queue is registers.
Demo application:
+ Update GenQTest to exercise the new pcQueueGetQueueName() function.
+ Delete workspaces from old Eclipse examples, leaving just the projects.
+ Rework comments in the MSVC simply blinky demo.
+ Updated all ARM Cortex-M0 ports to include an additional ISB instruction as the scheduler is started.
Demo app files:
+ Fixex build issues in XMC1000 demos.
+ heap_1.c and heap_2.c now support configAPPLICATION_ALLOCATED_HEAP (heap_4.c already did) which allows the heap to be placed by the user rather than the linker.
Demo app changes:
+ SAMD20 project has been updated to use Atmel Studio 7.
+ Support tickless idle when configUSE_PREEMPTION is 0 (previously tickless idle was only supported when the pre-emptive scheduler was being used).
+ If a stack was statically allocated, then don't try freeing it if the TCB cannot be allocated.
+ Remove use of INCLUDE_xEventGroupsSetBitsFromISR() pre-processor macro, as it was not tested anyway.

+ Add IAR project for the RX113.
+ Add RX231 e2studio projects for the RX231.
- Remove configASSERT() if a queue cannot be created, malloc failed hook will be called anyway.
Demo apps:
- RZ/T blinky demo working, but still lots to do to improve the port.
FreeRTOS+Trace:
- Add trace macros for task notifications.
- Update to the latest trace recorder library.
Demo projects:
- Only include the CLI command to show run time states if configGENERATE_RUN_TIME_STATS is set to 1.
- Back out changes that allow mutexes to be given from a semaphore after tests showed issues that would not be fast to fix.
Demo projects:
- Update the Microblaze Kintex 7 project and BSP to use version 2015.2 of the Xilinx SDK.
Kernel changes:
- Remove an assert that was preventing xQueueSendFromISR() being used to give a mutex from an ISR (mutexes cannot be given using xSemaphoreGiveFromISR()).
- Introduce xTaskNotifyAndQueryFromISR() as the interrupt safe version of xTaskNotifyAndQuery().
Common demo task changes:
- Update IntSemTest.c to prove the theory that it is safe to give a mutex type semaphore from an interrupt using xQueueSendFromISR() instead of xSemaphoreGiveFromISR().
- Update TaskNotify.c to test the new xTaskNotifyAndQuery() from ISR fuction.
Add additional NOPs as required by hardware manual.
Microblaze:
Previously a task inherited the exception enable state from the context from which xTaskCreate() was called. Now tasks all have exceptions enabled if they are enabled in the hardware.
Windows/GCC:
Improve the implementation of portGET_HIGHEST_PRIORITY.
Common code:
Simplify the pointer use in xQueueGenericCreate()

Windows port: Add code to ensure Windows threads are truely suspended before resuming another thread.
Typo correction to the task notification standard demo task.
Correct case of some include file names to fix build issues on Linux.
+ The timer task now blocks indefinitely if there are no timers active, allowing eTaskConfirmSleepModeStatus to return eNoTasksWaitingTimeout when configUSE_TIMERS is set to 1.
+ The next unblock time is calculated automatically after a task unblocks when waiting for a notification, allowing deep sleep to be entered earlier.
Remove redundant global definition vPortInstallFreeRTOSVectorTable from the GCC ARM_CA9 portASM.S file.
Ensure correct sequence of start up sequence when the Windows port is used on multi-core Windows machines by starting one thread in the suspended state.
Move initialisation of xNextTaskUnblockTime to the function that starts the scheduler, rather than from where the variable is declared - this fixes a compiler warning in newer IAR compilers.
