[RTnet-users] [ANNOUNCE] RTnet 0.6.2

[Jan Kiszka]

As there were no complaints about the release candidate, I think we can dare to role the version 0.6.2 out. There is only a small additional patch to the rtnet start script, the rest is identical with rc1.

Here is the list of changes:
- added SMC91111 driver
- UDP improvements
  * support for binding to specific local IP
  * revised automatic port number assigment (race condition save)
- avoid stack manager for loopback packets
- added "cards" parameter to tulip-rt
- various bug fixes
  * removed runtime garbage collection of fragmented IP packets
    (was error-prone)
  * fixed routing bug in IP input path
  * fixed bug in timeout handling of recvmsg functions
  * fixed application unload problems when running RTcap
  * fixed compilation problem with RTAI-24 and ADEOS
  * fixed some smaller issues in the build system
  * fixed init bug in rtnetproxy

This release is also a freeze before we touch the IP routing and the ARP system. The concept, which combines both elements, is rather simple, but the changes will concern many parts of the stack. It's a good chance to clean things up.
