The documentation grew one page at a time, so the tree follows the
history of who wrote what and not the shape of NuttX. Scheduling is
spread over three places, a driver page can sit above the subsystem
that owns it, and the front page lists everything at the same level.
That is a lot to face when all you want to know is where the scheduler
lives.
This change files every page under the code it describes. It is a move,
not a rewrite: outside the ten pages named below, every page keeps the
text that is already in master, and no page's text is deleted.
What it does:
* Groups the table of contents into nine chapters.
* Moves the OS subsystems under os/: scheduling, memory, drivers,
filesystem, networking, IPC, interrupts, libs, time.
* Renames the platform pages to the names the source tree uses, and
derives their tags from the tree instead of by hand.
* Splits guides/ by subject.
* Adds Documentation/redirects.py, with a rule for every page that left
its old path, so old URLs keep working. The redirect page also carries
a link's #anchor across to the new page.
Ten pages have text that is new or rewritten. Nine of them are the
landing page of a chapter, which has to exist for the new structure:
index the front page
os/index OS Design
os/scheduling/index Scheduling
os/interrupts/index Interrupts
os/ipc/index IPC
os/time/index Time and timers
about/index About
developing/index Developing NuttX
ReleaseNotes/index Release notes
The tenth is os/libs/libbuiltin, the only page here with technical
content: libs/libbuiltin/ had no page at all. Five SVG diagrams come
with these pages, hand-written XML with no editor metadata.
Nothing outside Documentation/ is touched.
How it was checked:
* Sphinx builds with -W: no warnings, and no document left outside a
toctree.
* A script, offered in the PR, proves the narrow claim this rests on.
For every page outside the ten named above it erases what a move
touches -- link target, path, tag line, toctree block, table border --
from the whole old text and the whole new text, and requires the two
to be byte for byte identical. It also requires every sentence of a
deleted page to turn up somewhere, and every page that left its old
path to have a redirect, from a URL that existed, to where its content
went. It exits non-zero and names the page if any of that is not true,
and it tests added pages too, so forgetting to declare one cannot make
it pass.
* An independent audit checked 133 factual claims on these ten pages
against the tree, one shell command per claim: 130 confirmed, 1
refuted and fixed here, 2 not checkable.
* tools/checkpatch.sh is clean over the range.
The diff is large because moving a page changes every link that points
to it. Most of it is pure renames, and board pages that gained one tag
line.

NuttX-6.12
The 79th release of NuttX, Version 6.12, was made on December 6, 2011 and is available for download from the SourceForge website. Note that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-6.12.tar.gz and apps-6.12.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt file for build information).
This release corresponds with SVN release number: r4141
New features in this release include:
- STM32. Basic support added for the STM32 F4 family. Board support verified for the STMicro STM3250G-EVAL board.
- FAT. Enhanced partition handling.
- SDIO-Based SD Card support. Add support for large (>4Gb) devices
- Graphics. Added four new small sans serif fonts.
- Drivers. Fix a banding problem with the R61580 LCD.
Bugfixes, order roughly on decreasing criticality include:
- FAT. Fix errors in how the first entries in the root directory are added. Fix errors in FAT date/time handling.
- Signals. Fix bug in certain sig_timedwait() error handling.
- Drivers. Fix cloned errors in poll() handling in several drivers.
- Message Queues. errno was not being set correctly by mq_notify().
- C Library. wchar_t is a built-in type for C++
