I am pleased to announce the release of FreeRTOS V7.3.0 – the major innovation in which is a new ‘tick-less’ idle mode to provide direct support for low power applications. See http://www.freertos.org/low-power-tickless-rtos.html for more information.
Other highlights include microcontroller specific optimisations in selected ports, and the inclusion of official support for Texas Instruments RM4x and TMS570 Cortex-R4 based safety microcontrollers.
As always, a full change history is available on http://www.FreeRTOS.org/History.txt, and it is recommended to update your code base to the latest version to ensure you benefit from the latest enhancements.
