Fixes for stmhal USB mass storage, lwIP bindings and VFS regressions
This release provides an important fix for the USB mass storage device in
the stmhal port by implementing the SCSI SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command, which
is now require by some Operating Systems. There are also fixes for the
lwIP bindings to improve non-blocking sockets and error codes. The VFS has
some regressions fixed including the ability to statvfs the root.
All changes are listed below.
py core:
- modbuiltins: add core-provided version of input() function
- objstr: catch case of negative "maxsplit" arg to str.rsplit()
- persistentcode: allow to compile with complex numbers disabled
- objstr: allow to compile with obj-repr D, and unicode disabled
- modsys: allow to compile with obj-repr D and PY_ATTRTUPLE disabled
- provide mp_decode_uint_skip() to help reduce stack usage
- makeqstrdefs.py: make script run correctly with Python 2.6
- objstringio: if created from immutable object, follow copy on write policy
extmod:
- modlwip: connect: for non-blocking mode, return EINPROGRESS
- modlwip: fix error codes for duplicate calls to connect()
- modlwip: accept: fix error code for non-blocking mode
- vfs: allow to statvfs the root directory
- vfs: allow "buffering" and "encoding" args to VFS's open()
- modframebuf: fix signed/unsigned comparison pendantic warning
lib:
- libm: use isfinite instead of finitef, for C99 compatibility
- utils/interrupt_char: remove support for KBD_EXCEPTION disabled
tests:
- basics/string_rsplit: add tests for negative "maxsplit" argument
- float: convert "sys.exit()" to "raise SystemExit"

- convert from using stmhal's input() to core provided version
cc3200 port:
- convert from using stmhal's input() to core provided version
teensy port:
- convert from using stmhal's input() to core provided version
esp8266 port:
- Makefile: replace references to make with $(MAKE)
- Makefile: add clean-modules target
- convert from using stmhal's input() to core provided version
zephyr port:
- modusocket: getaddrinfo: Fix mp_obj_len() usage
- define MICROPY_PY_SYS_PLATFORM (to "zephyr")
- machine_pin: use native Zephyr types for Zephyr API calls
docs:
- machine.Pin: remove out_value() method
- machine.Pin: add on() and off() methods
- esp8266: consistently replace Pin.high/low methods with .on/off
- esp8266/quickref: polish Pin.on()/off() examples
- network: move confusingly-named cc3200 Server class to its reference
- uos: deconditionalize, remove minor port-specific details
- uos: move cc3200 port legacy VFS mounting functions to its ref doc
- machine: sort machine classes in logical order, not alphabetically
- network: first step to describe standard network class interface
examples:
- embedding: use core-provided KeyboardInterrupt object
This effectively reverts the change that introduced this new constant.
The reason is so that users do not need to rebuild the filesystem on
their modules when upgrading the firmware.
Users can change RESERVED_SECS by hand if they need the feature, and in
future firmware it may default to a non-zero value.
This code is no longer pertinent for some time - since switchover to
SDK2.0, there must be correct flash size set for bootloader, or there's
a risk of flash data corruption. And indeed, the correct flash size is
by default auto-detected by esptool.py 1.2.
Starting at esp.flash_user_start(), the reserved sectors are for general
purpose use, for example for native code generation. There is currently
one sector reserved as such.
Previously, it was included only in release builds, but it's important
tool which should be always at the fingertips to be useful (and to
pump up its usage).
As we're looking towards adding OTA support, calculation of a FlashROM
area which can be used for filesystem (etc.) may become complex, so
introduce C function for that. So far it just hardcodes current value,
0x90000. In the future the function may be extended (and renamed) to
return the size of area too.
The OneWire class is now in its own onewire.py module, and the temperature
sensor class is in its own ds18x20.py module. The latter is renamed to
DS18X20 to reflect the fact that it will support both the "S" and "B"
variants of the device.
These files are moved to the modules/ subdirectory to take advantage of
frozen bytecode.
The idea behind decrease is: bytecode and other static data is also kept on
heap, and can easily become half of heap, then setting threshold to half of
heap will have null effect - GC will happen on complete heap exhaustion like
before. But exactly in such config maintaining heap defragmented is very
important, so lower threshold to accommodate that.
To start with, the critical scripts _boot.py and flashbdev.py are frozen
to improve performance and reduce RAM consumption.
Saves about 1000 bytes of heap RAM for a bare boot with filesystem.
