The FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP library is now more robust and secure

While we work on the FreeRTOS Labs IPv6 project, we are continuing to improve the robustness, security, and modularity of the FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP library. To that end, today, we are excited to release the FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP V3.0.0 library. FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP V3.0.0 adds comprehensive unit test coverage for all lines and branches of code, and has undergone penetration testing and protocol testing by AWS Security to reduce the exposure to security vulnerabilities. For context, protocol testing involves compliance and impairment checks for IPv4, TCP, UDP, DHCP, ARP and ICMP, which helps ensure the FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP TCP/IP stack is more robust. The source code has also been restructured to make it more modular, extensible, and easier to add unit tests. The new source code organization requires existing projects to be updated. However, if you want to continue using your existing source code organization, you can use a script to generate the older file and directory structure. To learn more and download the latest library, visit the FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP GitHub repository.
