    RIOT-2018.10 - Release Notes
    ============================
    RIOT is a multi-threading operating system which enables soft real-time
    capabilities and comes with support for a range of devices that are typically
    found in the Internet of Things: 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers as well as
    light-weight 32-bit processors.
    
    RIOT is based on the following design principles: energy-efficiency, soft
    real-time capabilities, small memory footprint, modularity, and uniform API
    access, independent of the underlying hardware (with partial POSIX compliance).
    
    RIOT is developed by an international open-source community which is
    independent of specific vendors (e.g. similarly to the Linux community) and is
    licensed with a non-viral copyleft license (LGPLv2.1), which allows indirect
    business models around the free open-source software platform provided by RIOT.
    
    About this release:
    ===================
    
    The 2018.10 release includes new features, like CoAP Resource Directory and
    Block2, ESP32 support, rework of I2C interface, EEPROM registry,
    Full and Minimal Thread Devices support in OpenThread and compliance of
    LoRaWAN 1.0.2 (ABP counters stored in EEPROM). Several boards were introduced.
    
    During the last release the board documentation was migrated from the wiki to
    the [RIOT API documentation](https://doc.riot-os.org) to improve the
    maintenance of these entries and provide a better user experience when
    browsing the documentation. There were also some efforts in grouping some
    modules to make them easier to access in the documentation.
    
    There were also some efforts on refactoring, test improvements and bug fixes.
    
    About 392 pull requests with about 914 commits have been merged since the last
    release and about 20 issues have been solved. 57 people contributed with code
    in 100 days. Approximately 2184 files have been touched with 211964 insertions
    and 34806 deletions.

    About this release:
    ===================
    
    The 2018.07 release includes new features, like NimBLE (ble stack),
    a MQTT-SN client, SHA-1 based PRNG, an UUID implementation. The RISC-V CPU
    architecture support used by the hifive1 board.
    Effort was done on refactoring, documentation, test improvements and bug fixes.
    
    During the last release, maintainers contributed by running the automated test
    suites on their boards. This gave valuable feedback on the board support state,
    test reliability and where to focus effort to make testing easier and more
    reliable.
    
    About 380 pull requests with about 675 commits have been merged since the last
    release and about 27 issues have been solved. 45 people contributed with code
    in 93 days. Approximately 1678 files have been touched with 147122 insertions

    RIOT-2018.04 - Release Notes
    ============================
    RIOT is a multi-threading operating system which enables soft real-time
    capabilities and comes with support for a range of devices that are typically
    found in the Internet of Things: 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers as well as
    light-weight 32-bit processors.
    
    RIOT is based on the following design principles: energy-efficiency, soft
    real-time capabilities, small memory footprint, modularity, and uniform API
    access, independent of the underlying hardware (with partial POSIX compliance).
    
    RIOT is developed by an international open-source community which is
    independent of specific vendors (e.g. similarly to the Linux community) and is
    licensed with a non-viral copyleft license (LGPLv2.1), which allows indirect
    business models around the free open-source software platform provided by RIOT.
    
    About this release:
    ===================
    The 2018.04 release includes major progress in support for current crypto
    libraries.  A lot of work has gone into updating drivers to RIOT's unified
    configuration scheme.  Support for ten new boards has been added.  In our quest
    to improve and automate testing, many test scripts have been fixed and
    improved, and RIOT's CI now runs many tests on real hardware during its nightly
    build testing. And as usual, many tiny fixes and improvements have been merged.
    
    About 390 pull requests with about 1073 commits have been merged since the last
    release and about 54 issues have been solved. 44 people contributed with code
    in 98 days. Approximately 1491 files have been touched with 208426 insertions.

    About this release:
    ===================
    Most notable, this release is bringing RIOT a step closer to supporting
    over-the-air-updates by containing initial support for MCUBoot.
    Furthermore, it adds support for some new platforms (e.g. arduino-mkzero,
    nucleos, and frdm-k22f), drivers (e.g. my9221, apa102, ds1307), and of course
    a large number of bug fixes (e.g. `make buildtest` now working properly,
    various fixes to `xtimer`).
    
    About 390 pull requests with about 500 commits have been merged since the last
    release and about 60 issues have been solved. 39 people contributed with code
    in 113 days. 1825 files have been touched with 223454 insertions and 66146 deletions.

    \#4841: xtimer: timer already in the list:
    \#4590: pkg: building relic with clang fails.
    \#4694: drivers/lm75a: does not build
    \#4902: xtimer: xtimer_set: xtimer_set does not handle integer overflows well
    \#5128: make: buildtest breaks when exporting FEATURES_PROVIDED var
    \#5207: make: buildest fails with board dependent application Makefiles
    \#5361: cpu/cc26x0: timer broken
    \#5460: cpu/samd21: i2c timing with compiler optimization
    \#5489: cpu/lpc11u34: ADC broken
    \#5799: kw2x: 15.4 duplicate transmits
    \#5928: xtimer: usage in board_init() crashes: some boards use the xtimer in there board_init()
           function. The xtimer is however first initialized in the auto_init module which is executed
           after board_init()
    \#6022: pkg: build order issue

    Known Issues
    ============
    Networking related issues
    -------------------------
    \#3075: nhdp: unnecessary microsecond precision: NHDP works with timer values of microsecond precision
           which is not required. Changing to lower precision would save some memory.
    \#4048: gnrc: potential racey memory leak
    \#5016: gnrc_rpl: Rejoining RPL instance as root after reboot messes up routing
    \#5230: gnrc ipv6: multicast packets are not dispatched to the upper layers
    \#5656: Possible Weakness with locking in the GNRC network stack: For some operations mutexes to the
           network interfaces need to get unlocked in the current implementation to not get deadlocked.
           Recursive mutexes as provided in #5731 might help to solve this problem.
    \#5748: gnrc: nodes crashing with too small packet buffer: A packet buffer of size ~512 B might lead
           to crashes. The issue describes this for several hundret nodes, but agressive flooding with
           just two nodes was also shown to lead to this problem.
    \#5858: gnrc: 6lo: potential problem with reassembly of fragments: If one frame gets lost the reassembly
           state machine might get out of sync
    \#6123: gnrc: crash with (excessive) traffic
    \#6519: driver/mrf24j40: broken on stm32f4discovery
    \#7035: lwIP: hangs due to sema change after a while
    \#7727: pkg: libcoap is partially broken and outdated
    
    NDP is not working properly
    ---------------------------
    \#4499: handle of l2src_len in gnrc_ndp_rtr_sol_handle: Reception of a router solicitation might lead
           to invalid zero-length link-layer addresses in neighbor cache.
    \#5005: ndp: router advertisement sent with global address: Under some  circumstances a router might
           send RAs with GUAs. While they are ignored on receive (as RFC-4861 specifies), RAs should have
           link-local addresses and not even be send out this way.
    \#5122: NDP: global unicast address on non-6LBR nodes disappears after a while: Several issues
           (also see #5760) lead to a global unicast address effectively being banned from the network
           (disappears from neighbor cache, is not added again)
    \#5467: ipv6 address vanishes when ARO (wrongly) indicates DUP caused by outdated ncache at router
    \#5539: Border Router: packet not forwarded from ethos to interface 6
    \#5790: ND: Lost of Global IPV6 on node after sending lot of UDP frame from BR
    
    Timer related issues
    --------------------
    \#5338: xtimer: xtimer_now() not ISR safe for non-32-bit platforms.
    \#6052: tests: xtimer_drift gets stuck: xtimer_drift application freezes after ~30-200 seconds
    \#6502: cpu/stm32l1: RTC broken
    \#7114: xtimer: add's items to the wrong list if the timer overflows between _xtimer_now() and irq_disable()
    
    native related issues
    ---------------------
    \#495:  native not float safe: When the FPU is used when an asynchronous context switch occurs, either
           the stack gets corrupted or a floating point exception occurs.
    \#2175: ubjson: valgind registers "Invalid write of size 4" in unittests
    \#5796: native: tlsf: early malloc will lead to a crash: TLSF needs pools to be initialized (which is
           currently expected to be done in an application). If a malloc is needed before an application's
           main started (e.g. driver initialization) the node can crash, since no pool is allocated yet.
    \#6145: native: system reboots on SIGTRAP
    \#6442: cpu/native: timer interrupt does not yield thread
    \#7206: native: race-condition in IPC
    
    other platform related issues
    -----------------------------
    \#1891: newlib-nano: Printf formatting does not work properly for some numeric types: PRI[uxdi]64,
           PRI[uxdi]8 and float are not parsed in newlib-nano
    \#2143: unittests: tests-core doesn't compile for all platforms: GCC build-ins were used in the
           unittests which are not available with msp430-gcc
    \#2300: qemu unittest fails because of a page fault
    \#4512: pkg: tests: RELIC unittests fail on iotlab-m3
    \#4560: make: clang is more pedantic than gcc oonf_api is not building with clang (partly fixed by #4593)
    \#4822: kw2xrf: packet loss when packets get fragmented
    \#4876: at86rf2xx: Simultaneous use of different transceiver types is not supported
    \#4954: chronos: compiling with -O0 breaks
    \#4866: not all GPIO driver implementations are thread safe: Due to non-atomic operations in the drivers
           some pin configurations might get lost.
    \#5009: RIOT is saw-toothing in energy consumption (even when idling)
    \#5103: xtimer: weird behavior of tests/xtimer_drift: xtimer_drift randomly jumps a few seconds on nrf52
    \#5405: Eratic timings on iotlab-m3 with compression context activated
    \#5486: at86rf2xx: lost interrupts
    \#5678: at86rf2xx: failed assertion in _isr
    \#5944: msp430: ipv6_hdr unittests fail
    \#5848: arduino: Race condition in sys/arduino/Makefile.include
    \#6018: nRF52 gnrc 6lowpan ble memory leak
    \#6261: SAMD21 TC3 & TC4 issue when using TCC2
    \#6379: nrf52dk/nordic_soft_device: not working anymore
    \#6437: periph/spi: Leftovers from SPI rework
    \#6526: atmega based boards freeze when main thread is over
    \#6836: Issuing a reboot on ATmega328p makes the board loop-reboot
    \#7347: xtimer_usleep stuck for small values on nucleo-l1
    \#7753: pic32-wifire: race-condition when linking in concurrent build
    \#7846: stm32f1: I2C read functions return bogus values with unconnected devices
    
    other issues
    ------------
    \#1263: TLSF implementation contains (a) read-before-write error(s).
    \#3256: make: Setting constants on compile time doesn't really set them everywhere
    \#3366: periph/i2c: handle NACK
    \#4488: Making the newlib thread-safe: When calling puts/printf after thread_create(), the CPU hangs
           for DMA enabled uart drivers.
    \#4866: periph: GPIO drivers are not thread safe
    \#5561: C++11 extensions in header files
    \#5776: make: Predefining CFLAGS are parsed weirdly
    \#5863: OSX +  SAMR21-xpro: shell cannot handle command inputs larger than 64 chars
    \#5962: Makefile: UNDEF variable is not working as documented
    \#6451: Wrong value in SRF08 driver
    \#7800: CBOR is broken
