ChangeLog for hostapd
-????-??-?? - v0.6.6
+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
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
projects / libeap.git / blobdiff
