- Update to version 4.1.6
- NEW: CMakeLists.txt has been refactored and modernized into
smaller CMakeLists.txt
- NEW: event lib support on Unix is now built into dynamically
loaded plugins and brought in at runtime, allowing all of the
support to be built in isolation without conflicts, and
separately packaged with individual dependencies.
See ./READMEs/event-libs.md for details and how to force the
old static build into lws method.
- NEW: Captive Portal Detection. Lws can determine if the
active default route is able to connect to the internet, or
is in a captive portal type situation, by trying to connect
to a remote server that will respond in an unusual way, like
provide a 204.
- NEW: Secure streams: Support system trust store if it exists
- NEW: lws_struct: BLOB support
- NEW: lws_sul: Now provides two sorted timer domains, a
default one as before, and another whose scheduled events are
capable to wake the system from suspend
- NEW: System Message Distribution: lws_smd provides a very
lightweight way to pass short messages between subsystems both
in RTOS type case where the subsystems are all on the lws
event loop, and in the case participants are in different
processes, using Secure Streams proxying. Participants
register a bitmap of message classes they care about; if no
particpant cares about a particular message, it is rejected
at allocation time for the sender, making it cheap to provide
messages speculatively.
See lib/system/smd/README.md for full details.
- NEW: lws_drivers: wrappers for SDK driver abstractions (or
