ChangeLog for hostapd
-????-??-?? - v0.6.5
+2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
+ * fix WPS internal Registrar use when an external Registrar is also
+ active
+ * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
+ configuration options
+ * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
+ * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
+ interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
+ compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
+ * cleaned up driver wrapper API for multi-BSS operations
+ * nl80211: fix multi-BSS and VLAN operations
+ * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
+ backwards compatible with old versions
+ * add SA Query Request processing in AP mode (IEEE 802.11w)
+ * fix IGTK PN in group rekeying (IEEE 802.11w)
+ * fix WPS PBC session overlap detection to use correct attribute
+ * hostapd_notif_Assoc() can now be called with all IEs to simplify
+ driver wrappers
+ * work around interoperability issue with some WPS External Registrar
+ implementations
+ * nl80211: fix WPS IE update
+ * hostapd_cli: add support for action script operations (run a script
+ on hostapd events)
+ * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
+ * fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
+ driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)
+
+2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
+ * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
+ is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
+ will need modifications
+ * cleaned up various module interfaces
+ * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
+ single document
+ * fixed HT Capabilities IE with nl80211 drivers
+ * moved generic AP functionality code into src/ap
+ * WPS: handle Selected Registrar as union of info from all Registrars
+ * remove obsolte Prism54.org driver wrapper
+ * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
+ allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
+ * EAP-FAST server: piggyback Phase 2 start with the end of Phase 1
+ * WPS: add support for dynamically selecting whether to provision the
+ PSK as an ASCII passphrase or PSK
+ * added support for WDS (4-address frame) mode with per-station virtual
+ interfaces (wds_sta=1 in config file; only supported with
+ driver=nl80211 for now)
+ * fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
+ attribute
+ * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
+ * detect bridge interface automatically so that bridge parameter in
+ hostapd.conf becomes optional (though, it may now be used to
+ automatically add then WLAN interface into a bridge with
+ driver=nl80211)
+
+2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
+ * increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
+ configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
+ * driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
+ * added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
+ * 802.11n: scan for overlapping BSSes before starting 20/40 MHz channel
+ * driver_nl80211: fixed STA accounting data collection (TX/RX bytes
+ reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)
+ * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
+ Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
+ * fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
+ authentication server
+ * fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
+ * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
+ (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
+ * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
+ standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
+ (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
+ * added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
+ functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
+ (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build
+ options)
+ * use shared driver wrapper files with wpa_supplicant
+ * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
+ nl80211/mac80211 functionality
+ * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
+ * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
+ interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
+ * added some IEEE 802.11n co-existance rules to disable 40 MHz channels
+ or modify primary/secondary channels if needed based on neighboring
+ networks
+ * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
+ * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
+
+2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
+ * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
+ (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
+ and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
+ methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
+ external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
+ be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
+ runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
+ the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
+ wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
+ more details
+ * added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
+ * added support for generating Country IE based on nl80211 regulatory
+ information (added if ieee80211d=1 in configuration)
+ * fixed WEP authentication (both Open System and Shared Key) with
+ mac80211
+ * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
+ * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
+ * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
+ * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
+ * fixed retransmission of EAP requests if no response is received
+
+2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
+ * added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
+ enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
+ TKIP deficiencies
+ * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
+ session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
+ OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
+ needed with that version anymore)
+ * changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
+ the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
+ using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
+ information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
+ channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
+ regulatory domain)
+ * fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
+ large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
+ Ticket data is included)
+ * fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
+
+2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
* added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
* fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
