+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The 82nd release of NuttX, Version 6.15, was made on February 12, 2012,
+and is available for download from the SourceForge website. Note

+file for build information).
+
+New features and extended functionality:
+
+ * General Drivers: Add support for (29-bit) extended CAN IDs. Add an
+ infrastructure to support battery drivers. Add a driver for MAX17040x
+ battery "fuel gauge". Add support for Composite USB drivers (in
+ particular for a CDC/ACM with MSC USB composite driver).
+
+ Added a new RAM logging driver. This will allow debug output into
+ a RAM buffer associated with a character driver at /dev/syslog.
+ Added the new command 'dmesg' to NSH that can be used to dump the
+ current contents of the log. This is useful for systems that do not
+ have the usual serial console (for example, if you only have a
+ Telnet console with NSH).
+
+ * Networking: Add a lower level, primitive socket interface. Telnet
+ driver:
+
+ A New Telnet daemon was created. It wraps a Telnet session within a
+ character driver that can serve as a "controlling terminal." The
+ Telnet session will then be inherited by tasks created from the
+ Telnet session and the stdin/stdout from the created task will
+ still go through the same Telnet connection.
+
+ * STM32 Drivers. PWM driver pulse count was limited to 128; now is
+ (essentially) unlimited. Add support for (29-bit) extended CAN IDs.
+ Add support for I2C3. The SDIO driver is (mostly) verified on the
+ STM32 F4 platforms.
+
+ * LPC17xx Drivers. Extended the CAN driver so that the TSEG1 and TSEG2
+ bit times can be set via the NuttX configuration. Add support for
+ (29-bit) extended CAN IDs.
+
+ * PIC32 Drivers. The PIC32 Ethernet driver is code complete (but still
+ untested).
+
+ * FTPD. Add a new FTP server daemon. This is based loosely on
+ the hwport_ftpd library provided by Jaehyuk Cho.
+
+ * Library: Add support for on_exit(). Implemented tcsetattr() and
+ tcgetattr(). Moved the old, too-smart fgets() to a new application
+ library function called readline(). Dumbed down the original fgets().
+ Add strcasestr(), avsprintf(), inet_ntop(), and inet_pton().
+ Add support to enable or disable debug output.
+
+ * Build system: Support for building a 32-bit simulation executable on
+ a 64-bit Linux machine. Correct a dependency issue in the arch/*/src/board
+ directory.
+
+Bugfixes:
+
+ * System: Correct PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER
+
+ * FAT: Fix an error in the FAT statfs() reported by David Sidrane.
+
+ * STM32: Fix clock frequencies for APB2 timers. Correct AFIO register
+ offset.
+
+ * PIC32. Correct GPIOs used for LEDs on the Sure PIC32MX board.
+
+ * NSH. Wait for a USB connection if a USB serial class is used to
+ interface with the host.
+
+Additional bugfixes, name changes, and other differences as detailed in the
+ChangeLog.
