Version 7.2.0

First, thanks for the update.  I’ve downloaded it and will look into updating current projects with it. A couple of things:
1) while I’ve pretty much figured this out, it would be nice if there was a document on updating FreeRTOS in an existing project along with warnings for new people that you don’t HAVE to update it just because a new version is out; 2) Is/will there be available manual update patches for this new version for those of use who have purchased manuals?  Essentially an update covering new features and depreciated ones.

Version 7.2.0

1) You are right.  If there is any backward compatibility issues I make notes available on how to update.  That is extremely rare.  If there are no issues I should likewise say so.  In the history file I think I said it was backward compatible, but that is not explicitly on how to update.  Generally to update you just copy the new FreeRTOS/source files over you old ones, then do a clean build.  (naturally, do a back up of the old files first!) 2) There are just a couple of mods that need making to the documented.  Thanks for reminding me!  There is one new API function, and a modification that allows a parameter in a few others to be optional (it can be set to NULL whereas before it couldn’t). Regards.

“and a modification that allows a parameter in a few others to be optional (it can be set to NULL whereas before it couldn’t).” Thanks for implementing it, Richard. It improves my code a lot.
