Uwe Kindler has contributed a port of uSTL 1.3 to eCos. uSTL is a partial implementation of the C++ Standard Template Library which is optimised for minimal code size. The eCos port of uSTL includes configurable file stream support and complete integration of the uSTL test suite.

Anthony Tonizzo and Gernot Zankl have contributed enhancements to the eCos object loader package. The enhancements support ARMv4T object relocation and the loading of objects directly from ROM (without a filesystem) respectively. The revised code is only available from the CVS repository at this time.

Sergei Gavrikov has contributed a port of PDCurses 3.4 to eCos. The contribution includes a PDCurses driver for eCos serial I/O, enabling eCos applications to present a text user interface on a remote terminal. The code is only available from the CVS repository at this time.

The eCos 3.0 final release is now available for download. This stable release incorporates many recent contributions to the public eCos project including:

• Cortex-M, FR30 and 68K/ColdFire architectural ports
• CAN, I2C, SPI, framebuffer, disk and ADC infrastructure
• Enhanced Flash infrastructure (flash v2)
• FAT filesystem
• PPP, SNTP client, VNC server, and enhanced HTTP server for FreeBSD TCP/IP stack
• lwIP lightweight TCP/IP stack
• USB serial function driver
• Object loader
• HAL and driver packages for many new processor variants, target platforms and peripheral devices

eCos 3.0 also delivers stable eCos configuration tools which extend host platform coverage to GTK+ 2.x on Linux and to Windows Vista.

Thank you to all those who supported the substantial testing effort preceding this release.
