0.36.0

[ssilverman]

Added

• Added elapsedTime::reset() for resetting the timer back to zero.
• Added rep assignment operator and constructor to elapsedTime for assigning a count.
• Added elapsedTime operators that use a count.
• Added a settimeofday() implementation in the HAL for Teensy, gated on the new QNETHERNET_PROVIDE_TEENSY_SETTIMEOFDAY configuration macro.
• Added qnethernet_hal_entropy_available() function to the HAL.
• Added operator(buf, size) and available() to qindesign::security::random_device.
• Added some basic entropy randomness quality tests.
• Added QNETHERNET_ENABLE_RAW_FRAME_FILTER_HOOK option for determining whether to route incoming frames directly to the raw frame handling machinery.
  (Thanks to Folkert van Heusden for helping with this: promiscuous mode, receiving Ethernet frames [question] #106 (comment))

Changed

• Enabled raw frame loopback by default, but not raw frame support.
• Changed SNTPClient example to assume that the settimeofday() function exists.
• Changed entropy functions to set errno to EIO instead of EAGAIN on entropy generation failure.
• Made the HAL's qnethernet_hal_deinit_entropy() and qnethernet_hal_estimate entropy() weak.
• Improved entropy and qindesign::security::random_device APIs.
• Updated cppreference.com URLs.
• Moved driver C functions into namespace qindesign::network::driver.
• Moved entropy C functions into namespace qindesign::entropy.
• Changed QNETHERNET_FLUSH_AFTER_WRITE to QNETHERNET_FLUSH_AFTER_TCP_WRITE.

Removed

• Removed qindesign::security::RandomDevice in favour of the std::random_device-mimicking qindesign::security::random_device.

Fixed

• Fixed the ElapsedTime example to actually toggle the LED.
• Fixed Teensy 4.1 driver to clear the MAC address hash-collision bookkeeping when the driver is uninitialized.
• Fixed TRNG (entropy) access for lower operating frequencies, on Teensy 4.
• Fixed to add some errno assignments and update some related comments and docs.
• Fixed TRNG initialization to use the correct macros.
• Fixed raw frame loopback to pass along broadcast frames.

• Fixed Teensy 4.1 driver to not overwrite output source MAC address.
  (Thanks to Folkert van Heusden: promiscuous mode, receiving Ethernet frames [question] #106 (comment))
• Fixed Teensy 4.1 driver to not calculate checksums when sending raw frames.
  (Thanks to Folkert van Heusden: promiscuous mode, receiving Ethernet frames [question] #106 (comment), promiscuous mode, receiving Ethernet frames [question] #106 (comment))
• Fixed Ping to calculate the ICMP checkum if needed.
