i’m currently working on a project using lwip 1.4.1 stack
(raw api with tcpip), and since i’m still in development
anyways i thought i might use the newest lwip 2.0 stack
instead. Can i just swap them out or how do i “upgrade” to
2.0?
Unless you enable IPv6, you should be able to just swap with one
difference: even when using DHCP, you have to manually set the
interface up (netif_set_up) or else, no packet will be sent out.
There might be other things that have changed, we'll have to round
up the UPGRADING document. As 1.4.1 is rather old to me and I have
kept up with git master, I'll have to look that up, though...
Are there any major “bugs” open, since i’ve read that
it’s only in beta?
No. There are bugs open, but no major bugs (or else it would be an
"alpha" :-)
Do i have any major benefit from upgrading?
Yes. Many bugs fixed since then! You only risk running into things
that are already fixed. While, 1.4.1 has been pretty stable as well,
it's now a good time to upgrade :-)
