ChangeLog for hostapd
+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
