  ChibiOS/RT installation path. The variable must be defined under
  Window->Preferences->General->Workspace->Linked_Resources and must contain
  a path without the trailing slash character.
- NEW: Added memory signature record to the registry in order to simplify
  the implementation of ad-hoc debuggers.
- NEW: Small andjustment in chcore.h files under ./os/ports/GCC required by a
  difference in GCC 4.7.x.
- NEW: Added another STM32F4-Discovery demo using the on-board MEMS, SPI
  and PWM. Removed MEMS handling from the old demo because code size limits
  on non-free compilers.
- NEW: Added configuration wizard plugin under ./tools/eclipse/plugins. This
  first version is able to configure the board files for STM32F0xx, STM32F4xx
  and STM32L1xx.
- NEW: Added USART6 support to the STM32 UARTv1 driver, contributed by Erik
  van der Zalm.

- NEW: Added I2C driver for AVR, contributed by Fabio Utzig.
- NEW: Added FatFs demo for the Olimex STM32-P107 board.
- NEW: Added support for the Olimex STM32-E407 board. Added an integrated
  demo including USB-CDC, lwIP with web server, FatFs and shell, all running
  together.
- NEW: Added an experimental and unsupported STM8 port for the IAR compiler,
  contributed by "king2".
- NEW: Updated STM8 header files to latest versions from ST.
- NEW: Reorganized the STM32 EXT driver to have a sub-platform specific
  part containing all the ISR related code, this has been necessary because
  the significant differences among the various sub-families.
- NEW: Validated CAN driver on STM32F2/F4 (backported to 2.4.2).
- NEW: USB implementation for STM32F105/F107/2xx/F4xx devices.
- NEW: Improved SerialUSB driver using the new queued mode, much smaller
  than the previous driver.
- NEW: Improved USB driver model supporting also queues for endpoint I/O,
  packet mode removed.
- NEW: Added an application-defined field to I/O queues (a void pointer).
- NEW: Added board files for Maple Mini STM32F103, contributed by Wagner
  Sartori Junior.
- NEW: Added SSP1 capability to the LPC13xx SPI driver.
- NEW: Updated vendor headers for LPC11xx and LPC13xx, the new headers
  support several new devices.
- NEW: Demo for STM32F0-Discovery board.
- NEW: Initial support for STM32F0xx devices, added a specific ADC driver.
  Validated EXT, GPT, ICU, PAL, PWM, Serial, SPI, UART drivers.
- NEW: Added a common ancestor class to the SDC and MMC_SPI drivers. This
  allows to share code and definitions.
- NEW: Modified the SDC driver to implement the new block devices abstract
  interface.
- NEW: Added two new functions to the MMC_SPI driver: mmcSync() and
  mmcGetInfo(). Also implemented the new block devices abstract
  interface. Moved the configuration parameters from mmcObjectInit() to
  the configuration structure saving some RAM space. Updated demos.
- NEW: Added an abstract interface for block devices in the HAL. This
  abstraction layer is meant to unify the access protocol to the SDC and
  MMC_SPI (and potentially others) device drivers.
- NEW: Added an abstract interface for serial devices in the HAL. This
  interface is meant to replace the equivalent class already present in the
  kernel. access macros are similar except for the prefix, "chn" instead
  of "chIO".
- NEW: Updated the MSP port to work with the latest MSPGCC compiler (4.6.3
  LTS 20120406 unpatched), now the old MSPGCC 3.2.3 is no more supported
  (backported to 2.4.1).
- NEW: EXT driver improved, now it is possible to reprogram channels at
  runtime without necessarily specifying a new configuration.
  TODO: Update AT91SAM7 EXT driver.
- NEW: Integrated FatFS 0.9, now the FatFS integration files are centralized
  under ./os/various/fatfs_bindings and shared among all demos. The FatFS
  file ffconf.h is now application-specific like all the other configuration
  files.
- NEW: Added an new option CORTEX_PRIGROUP_INIT to the Cortex-Mx ports in
  order to make priority organization configurable, the default is to
  assign all the available priority bits to preemption priority with no
  sub-priorities.
- NEW: Added a new function chPoolLoadArray() to the Memory Pools subsystem,
  it allows to load an entire array element's into a pool with a single
  operation.
- NEW: Addes support for .S patch in the GCC ARM ports, by Ayman El-Khashab.
- NEW: Added a switch to the STM32F4 Makefile files in order to enable or
  disable the FPU support in a single place.
- NEW: Added float support (optional) to chprintf(), by Fabio Utzig.
- NEW: Added overflow handling in the ICU driver (contributed by Xo).
- NEW: Updated debug plugin 1.0.8 (backported to 2.4.0).
- NEW: Added more accurate UBRR calculation in AVR serial driver (backported
  to 2.4.0).
- NEW: Revision of the round-robin scheduling, now threads do not lose their
  time slice when preempted. Each thread has its own time slices counter.
  TODO: Seek optimizations.
- NEW: Modified the Virtual Timers management, now the callback is invoked
  not in lock mode. This change reduces the interrupt jitter caused by
  multiple timers used at same time.
- NEW: Added board files and demo for Olimex LPC-P1343 (contributed by
  Johnny Halfmoon).
- NEW: Added handling of input 2 to the STM32 ICU driver (contributed by
  Fabio).
- NEW: STM32 Ethernet driver completed. Added STM32F107 and STM32F407
  lwIP demos (backported to 2.4.1).
- NEW: lwIP related code is not centralized into a single place, no need to
  duplicate the code in each application or demo (backported to 2.4.1).
- CHANGE: Added two new methods to the BaseSequentialStream interface:
  chSequentialStreamPut() and chSequentialStreamGet().
- CHANGE: Removed the chioch.h header from the kernel, now channels interface
  is exported by the HAL. Removed functions chPutWouldBlock() and
  chGetWouldBlock().
- CHANGE: Removed macro chMsgGetS(), chMsgGet() is still available.
- CHANGE: chprintf() now takes a BaseSequentialStream as parameter instead
  of a BaseChannel making it more generic.
- CHANGE: Now the shell requires a BaseSequentialStream instead of a
  BaseChannel for communications making it more generic.
- CHANGE: Kernel memory pools now do not check the alignment of the inserted
  objects, it is responsibility of the application to insert properly
  aligned objects.
- CHANGE: The PORT_INT_REQUIRED_STACK parameter for the Cortex-Mx ports has
  been increased to 32 from 16 because the stack frame sizes are increased
  when compiling with optimizations disabled, which is common during
  debugging. In order to save RAM trim back this value when compiling with
  optimizations enabled (backported to 2.4.1).
- CHANGE: Renamed Ethernet driver in AT91 HAL ETHD1 (backported to 2.4.1).
- CHANGE: Macros icuGetWidthI() and icuGetPeriodI() renamed to icuGetWidth()
  and icuGetPeriod().
- Various documentation fixes and improvements.
