+nuttx-5.15
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The 62nd release of NuttX, nuttx-5.15, was mad on December 12, 2010.  This
+release includes several bugfixes as well as feature enhancements, primarily
+for the Olimex LPC1766-STK board.
+
+Important bugfxes included:
+
+	* Additional fixes needed with the TCP sequence number problem "fixed" in
+	  nuttx-5.14.
+	* In the send() logic, now checks if the destination IP address is in the
+	  ARP table before sending the packet; an ARP request will go out instead.
+	  This improves behavior, for example, on the first on the first GET request
+	  from a browser
+	* All USB class drivers need to call DEV_CONNECT() when they are ready to
+	  be enumerated.  That is, (1) initially when bound to the USB driver, and
+	  (2) after a USB reset.
+	* The SPI_SETBITS macro was calling the SPI setmode method.
+	* And several other bug fixes of lower criticality (see the ChangeLog for
+	  details).
+
+And feature enhancements:
+
+	* The LPC176x Ethernet driver was using all of AHB SRAM Bank0 for Ethernet
+	  packet buffers (16Kb).  An option was added to limit the amount of SRAM
+	  used for packet buffering and to re-use any extra Bank0 memory for heap.
+	* Enabled networking and SD/MMC card support in the Olimex LPC1766-STK
+	  NuttShell (NSH) configuration.
+	* The LPC176x USB driver is now fully fully functional.
+	* Added an optional cmddata() method to the SPI interface.  Some devices
+	  require an additional out-of-band bit to specify if the next word sent
+	  to the device is a command or data. The cmddata method provides selection
+	  of command or data.
+	* A driver for the Nokia 6100 LCD (with either the Phillips PCF8833 LCD
+	  controller and for the Epson S1D15G10 LCD controller) and an NX graphics
+	  configuration for the Olimex LPC1766-STK have been added.  However,
+	  neither the LCD driver nor the NX configuration have been verified
+	  as of the this release.
