esp_netif_init() returns standard esp_err_t error code (unlike tcpip_adapter init), so shall be checked for the return value
Also to make the initialization code more consistent.
1. detect and fix root conflicts when router BSSID is not set.
2. when root can not connect to the router due to NO_MORE_STAS(reason code:5), root will stop re-connection and perform MESH_NWK_LOOK_FOR_NETWORK.
3. wifi: fix the disconnection caused by receiving a deauth frame from non-parent node during scanning.
4. fix routing table redundant issue.
5. modify the max routes limitation from 300 to 1000.
6. wifi: fix ap does not deauth sta which has not completed the 4-way handshake.
1. when no parent is found, send probe request via broadcast.
2. fix memory leak caused by the remove announcement being sent is not released when esp_mesh_stop() is called.
3. fix modify IE encrypt after mesh is started.
4. ignore esp_mesh_connect() if mesh automatic reconnection is enabled.
5. fix reason is cleared before vote is done.
1. add network channel switch function.
- users can obtain the new channel through the event MESH_EVENT_CHANNEL_SWITCH.
- the entire network will be moved to the same channel as the router without user intervention.
- if no router is in the network, users can call esp_mesh_switch_channel() on the root side to
move the entire network to their desired channel.
2. support not configuring the network channel.
3. support not configuring the router BSSID even if the router is hidden.
4. add allow_channel_switch to mesh configuration.
- if the channel is not specified, this value will be ignored.
- if the channel is specified and this value is set, when "fail" (mesh_attempts_t) times of parent selection
or look for networks are reached, device will change to perform a full channel scan for networks that could join.
- if the channel is specified and this value is set to 0, when a root is not elected, channel switch is not allowed.
but when a root appears, the root performs a full channel scan during the process of connecting to the router,
so even allow_channel_switch is set to 0, the root may still switch channel and eventually the entire network
changes channel.
5. add allow_router_switch to mesh router configuration.
- if the BSSID of router is not specified, this value will be ignored.
- if the BSSID of router is specified and this value is set, when the router of this specified BSSID fails to be found
after "fail" (mesh_attempts_t) times, the entire network is allowed to switch to another router with the same SSID.
6. modify the root to perform a full channel scan when esp_wifi_connect().
7. support handling beacon without DS Paramter Set.
1. suppport mesh type, mesh ID, router and IE crypt func&key at any time after mesh is initalized.
2. support modify parent at any time after mesh is configured.
3. modify manual networking example.
4. update header file.
5. fix issues in root conflicts handling.
6. add max length of beacon to menuconfig.
7. fix issue when received a beacon without DSSS.
1. new APIs: esp_mesh_get_subnet_nodes_num() and esp_mesh_get_subnet_nodes_list().
2. fix hard to find the parent during connect.
3. disable Wi-Fi channel switch function.
4. fix a typo of MESH_EVENT_NO_PARENT_FOUND.
1. add APIs to set/get announce interval values.
2. add API to enable/disable the min rate to 6Mbps for data packages.
3. add APIs to set/get RSSI threshold values.
4. fix ap_loss.
1. add mesh_assoc_t to esp_mesh_internal.h file.
2. rename "node" to "device" in esp_mesh.h.
3. add MESH_EVENT_SCAN_DONE event.
4. add APIs esp_mesh_scan_get_ap_record() and esp_mesh_scan_get_ap_ie_len() to get scan results.
5. modify API esp_mesh_set_self_organized() by adding parameter "select_parent".
6. modify API esp_mesh_set_parent() by adding parameter "parent_mesh_id"
7. add manual networking example.
1. fix issues on sending beacon caused by too much tx retries on other packets.
2. modify not to scan if rc exists when connect.
3. modify scan dwell time to default 120ms fo root.
