[3.2.0] - 2015-04-30

General

Release based on "LoRaWAN specification 1.0.0"
GitHub reported issues corrections

Added

Added the support of packed structures when using IAR tool chain
Added a function to get the time in us
Added a typedef for time variables (TimerTime_t)
Added a function that returns if the GPS has a fix or not
Added missing MAC commands and updated others when necessary
- Corrected the Port 0 MAC commands decryption
- Changed the way the upper layer is notified. Now it is only notified when all the operations are finished
  
  When a ClassA Tx cycle starts a timer is launched to check every second if everything is finished
- Added a new parameter to LoRaMacEventFlags structure that indicates on which Rx window the data has been received
- Added a new parameter to LoRaMacEventFlags structure that indicates if there is applicative data on the received payload
- Corrected ADR MAC command behavior
- DutyCycle enforcement implementation (EU868 PHY only)
  
  REMARK 1 The regulatory duty cycle enforcement is enabled by default which means that for lower data rates the node may not transmit a new frame as quickly as requested
  The formula used to compute the node idle time is
```
Toff = TimeOnAir / DutyCycle - TxTimeOnAir
```
  Example:
  A device just transmitted a 0.5 s long frame on one default channel This channel is in a sub-band allowing 1% duty-cycle. Therefore this whole sub-band (868 MHz - 868.6 MHz) will be unavailable for 49.5 s.
  
  REMARK 2 The duty cycle enforcement can be disabled for test purposes by calling the LoRaMacSetDutyCycleOn function with false parameter.
- Implemented aggregated duty cycle management
- Added a function to create new channels
- Implemented the missing features on the JoinAccept MAC command
- Updated LoRaMacJoinDecrypt function to handle the CFList field
Added the possibility to chose to use either public or private networks

Changed

Cosmetic updates
Changed the TimeOnAir radio function to return a uint32_t value instead of a double. The value is in us
Changed the GetPosition functions to return a latitude and longitude of 0 and altitude of 65535 when no GPS fix
Due to duty cycle management the applicative API has changed
All applications must be updated accordingly

Removed

Removed support for previous LoRaMac/LoRaWAN specifications

Fixed

Fixed the 250 kHz bandwidth choice for the FSK modem

```
 { 0, 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '!', '!', '!', '!' }
```
