  * k_mem_domain_remove_thread() - to remove a thread from a domain

* add k_calloc() which uses kernel heap to implement traditional calloc()

  semantics.

* Introduce object validation mechanism: All system calls made from userspace,

  which involve pointers to kernel objects (including device drivers), will need

  to have those pointers validated; userspace must never be able to crash the

  kernel by passing it garbage.

* HTTP API changed to use net-app API. Old HTTP API is deprecated.

* Loopback network interface support added. This is used in testing only.

* LWM2M multi-fragment network packet support added.

* New CoAP library implementation which supports longer network packets.

* New CoAP library implementation, supporting longer network packets.

* Old ZoAP library deprecated.

* mDNS (multicast DNS) support added.

* SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) client library added.

* Various fixes for: TCP, RPL, ARP, DNS, LWM2M, Ethernet, net-app API, Network

  shell, BSD socket API

  shell, and BSD socket API

* Network management API fixes.

* Networking sample application fixes.

* 6lo IPv6 header compression fixes.

* Note added to all released doc pages mentioning more current content could

  be available from the master branch version of the documentation.

* Documentation updated to use CMake (vs. Make) in all examples.

* Documentation updated to use CMake (vs. Make) in all examples, and

  using a new Sphinx extension to keep examples consistent.

* Getting Started Guide material updated to include CMake dependencies

  and build instructions.

  and build instructions required for version 1.10.

* Instead of hiding all expected warnings from the document build

  process (there are some known doxygen/sphinx issues), the build

  now outputs all warnings, and then reports

* Obsolete V1 to V2 porting material removed.

* Continued updates to documentation for new board support, new samples,

  and new features.

* Integration of documentation with new zephyrproject.org website
