AT_v0.22 release note

Important Note:
1.AT added some functions so it's larger than before, if you want to compile it, please modify ld files according to the “!!!readme!!!" file.
2."AT+CIUPDATE" , if you use Espressif AT bin(\esp_iot_sdk_v1.0.0\bin\at) directly it will upgrade bin files from Espressif Cloud; if you compiled your own AT, you need to do your own "AT+CIUPDATE" ,we provide a demo(\esp_iot_sdk_v1.0.0\examples\at ) showing upgrade from local server.
3. Previous version of AT，can not upgrade from Espressif Cloud any more，please use this latest AT.

Fix bug:
1、Wrong return value of AT+CIPSTATUS；
2、wdt rest after “0,CONNECT FAIL”；

Add AT commands：
1、Change AT commands of which configuration will store into flash to two kinds：
XXX_CUR: current，only set configuration，won’t save it into Flash；
XXX_DEF: default, set configuration and save it to Flash
2、Add SmartConfig in AT：
AT+CWSTARTSMART/AT+CWSTOPSMART: start / stop SmartConfig
Notice：please refer to the document， call “AT+CWSTOPSMART” to stop SmartConfig first since “AT+CWSTARTSMART”，then call other AT commands. Don’t call any other AT commands during SmartConfig. 
3、AT+SAVETRANSLINK：save transparent transmission link to Flash；
Note：AT+CIPMODE=1 set to enter transparent transmission mode，won‘t save to Flash.

Add AT APIs
1、at_customLinkMax： set the max link that allowed, most can be 10; if you want to set it, please set it before at_init; if you didn’t set it, the max link allowed is 5 by default. 
2、at_enter_special_state/ at_leave_special_state：Enter/leave AT processing state. In processing state, AT core will return “busy” for any further AT commands. 
3、at_set_custom_info：set custom version information of AT which can be got by AT+GMR；
4、at_get_version：get version information of AT lib .

Optimize
1、Add UDP remote ip and remote port is allowed to be parameters of “AT+CIPSEND”
2、Move “AT+CIUPDATE” from lib to AT demo（\esp_iot_sdk\examples\at）, AT demo shows how to upgrade AT firmware from a local server. Notice that AT upgrade the bin files name have to be "user1.bin" and "user2.bin".
3、Optimize “AT+CIPSTA”, add gateway and netmask as parameters 
4、Optimize transparent transmission.

esp_iot_sdk_v0.9.5_15_01_22 Release Note
Fix bugs:
1、Incorrect status got by API : wifi_station_get_connect_status；
2、Sniffer can not quit without restart；
3、wifi_station_ap_change always return true；
4、TCP connection issues

Add APIs:
1、system_deep_sleep_set_option: set what the chip will do when deep-sleep wake up；
2、wifi_status_led_uninstall；
3、wifi_station_ap_get_info : get information of AP that ESP8266 station connected.
4、wifi_station_dhcpc_status & wifi_softap_dhcps_status ： get DHCP status
5、smart config APIs
6、add beacon_interval parameter in struct softap_config
7、espconn_recv_hold and espconn_recv_unhold to block TCP receiving data and unblock it.
8、AT APIs to let user define their own AT.

Optimize：
1、light sleep、modem sleep、deep sleep
2、compile method：./gen_misc.sh ，then follow the tips and steps.
3、when no buffer for os_malloc，return NULL instead of malloc assert.
4、users can enable #define USE_OPTIMIZE_PRINTF in user_config.h to remove strings of os_printf from ram to irom
5、faster the re-connection of ESP8266 station to router after deep-sleep.
6、update to boot v1.2 to support new format user.bin；
7、update ARP
8、update SSL
9、revised system_deep_sleep，system_deep_sleep(0)，set no wake up timer，connect a GPIO to pin RST, the chip will wake up by a falling-edge on pin RST  


esp_iot_sdk_v0.9.4_14_12_19 Release Note
1、Update sniffer to support capture HT20 packet, and the length of HT40 packet；
2、Add APIs to set and get sleep type；
3、Add APIs to get version info of sdk, delete version.h；
4、RAW in LWIP is open source now, add API of function ping；
5、Update spi driver；
6、Optimize APIs related to espconn；
7、Fix some bugs to make the software more reliable；

esp_iot_sdk_v0.9.3_14_11_21 Release Note
1、Add license documentation of ESPRESSIF SDK
2、Add APIs to read and write RTC memory, and APIs to get RTC time.
3、Add APIs to swap UART0
4、Add API to read ADC, delete adc.c.
5、Add API to read spi flash id
6、Revise struct station_config, add bssid parameters to distinguish different AP with same ssid ;
Note: if station_config.bssid_set is not 0 , station_config.bssid has to be set, or connection will fail. So in general, station_config.bssid_set need to be 0. 
7、Revise struct scan_config, add scan_config.show_hidden to set whether scan APs which ssid is hidden or not; not scan, set scan_config.show_hidden to be 0. 
Add bss_info.is_hidden in struct bss_info to show if this AP’s ssid is hidden.
8、Revise struct softap_config, add softap_config.ssid_len. If softap_config.ssid_len == 0, check ssid till find a termination characters; otherwise it depends on softap_config.ssid_len.
9、Revise API “wifi_softap_set_config” to take effect immediately, needs not restart to make the configuration enable any more.
10、Add APIs to set and get physical layer mode（802.11b/g/n）
11、Add APIs to enable and disable DHCP server of ESP8266 softAP
12、Add APIs to enable and disable DHCP client of ESP8266 station
13、Add API to set range of ip address that get from DHCP server
14、Add APIs to set and get how many TCP connections allowed at max.
15、Add APIs to set and get how many TCP clients allowed at max to a TCP server.
16、Revise “wifi_set_ip_info” and “wifi_set_macaddr” to take effect immediately.
17、Fix some bugs to make the software more reliable.
