There are some major bugfixes in this release, but besides that, it's not really changing functionality much. Many of you might thank me for the following changes:

• Fixed major bug in arm7
• Changed default behavior to use internal allocation system for memory
• Fixed bug that could cause _CANNOTCONNECT to come up incorrectly
• Fixed blocking send() to actually be blocking.

On a side note, if you do notice any bugs in the lib, please do contact me, via IRC (#dswifi on efnet or blitzed) or other means. I'm expecting to set up a bugtracker in the near future too, so there will be a more formal way to yell at me :)

Ok, And for those of you who are unhappy cause your favorite feature got left out (be it probe requests, the WFC data alternate WEP key format, or native Nintendo USB key compatibility) - sorry, but this project has become stagnant, probably because I'm continually trying to refine it and just don't feel like it anymore really;

I've decided to put the whole lib on standby for the immediate future, and when I continue (probably mid-november) I'll start with a complete rewrite of the 802.11 system and the TCP stack, for version 0.5 - at that point I'll have the chance to actually do some of these things *right*, and I perhaps won't be as frustrated with a codebase based on flawed assumptions and a general lack of understanding ;)

I'll post again sometime soon with information about what projects I am presently going to be pursuing, and which ones are on the back burner.
