1ChangeLog for hostapd
2
32012-05-10 - v1.0
4	* Add channel selection support in hostapd. See hostapd.conf.
5	* Add support for IEEE 802.11v Time Advertisement mechanism with UTC
6	  TSF offset. See hostapd.conf for config info.
7	* Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
8	  This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
9	  Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
10	  available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
11	  Disassoc frames (nl80211).
12	* Allow PMKSA caching to be disabled on the Authenticator. See
13	  hostap.conf config parameter disable_pmksa_caching.
14	* atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
15	* bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
16	* Allow client isolation to be configured with ap_isolate. Client
17	  isolation can be used to prevent low-level bridging of frames
18	  between associated stations in the BSS. By default, this bridging
19	  is allowed.
20	* Allow coexistance of HT BSSes with WEP/TKIP BSSes.
21	* Add require_ht config parameter, which can be used to configure
22	  hostapd to reject association with any station that does not support
23	  HT PHY.
24	* Add support for writing debug log to a file using "-f" option. Also
25	  add relog CLI command to re-open the log file.
26	* Add bridge handling for WDS STA interfaces. By default they are
27	  added to the configured bridge of the AP interface (if present),
28	  but the user can also specify a separate bridge using cli command
29	  wds_bridge.
30	* hostapd_cli:
31	  - Add wds_bridge command for specifying bridge for WDS STA
32	    interfaces.
33	  - Add relog command for reopening log file.
34	  - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
35	    due to inactivity.
36	  - Add wps_config ctrl_interface command for configuring AP. This
37	    command can be used to configure the AP using the internal WPS
38	    registrar. It works in the same way as new AP settings received
39	    from an ER.
40	  - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
41	  - Add command get version, that returns hostapd version string.
42	* WNM: Add BSS Transition Management Request for ESS Disassoc Imminent.
43	  Use hostapd_cli ess_disassoc (STA addr) (URL) to send the
44	  notification to the STA.
45	* Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
46	  the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
47	  going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
48	  config option disassoc_low_ack.
49	* Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
50	  config file.
51	* WPS:
52	  - Send AP Settings as a wrapped Credential attribute to ctrl_iface
53	    in WPS-NEW-AP-SETTINGS.
54	  - Dispatch more WPS events through hostapd ctrl_iface.
55	  - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
56	  - Change concurrent radio AP to use only one WPS UPnP instance.
57	  - Add wps_check_pin command for processing PIN from user input.
58	    UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
59	    validate the checksum digit (if present).
60	  - Add hostap_cli get_config command to display current AP config.
61	  - Add new hostapd_cli command, wps_ap_pin, to manage AP PIN at
62	    runtime and support dynamic AP PIN management.
63	  - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks
64	    on failures up to 10.
65	  - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing,
66	    to be compatible with Windows 7.
67	  - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info
68	    to the user on how to resolve the issue.
69	  - When controlling multiple interfaces:
70	     - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
71	     - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
72	     - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
73	       all interfaces
74	* WPS ER:
75	  - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events.
76	  - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
77	    ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
78	    WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
79	* WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
80	  - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
81	    for testing protocol extensibility.
82	  - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
83	    workarounds.
84	  - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
85	* TDLS:
86	  - Allow TDLS use or TDLS channel switching in the BSS to be
87	    prohibited in the BSS, using config params tdls_prohibit and
88	    tdls_prohibit_chan_switch.
89	* EAP server: Add support for configuring fragment size (see
90	  fragment_size in hostapd.conf).
91	* wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
92	  wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
93	  for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
94	* Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
95	  CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See hostapd.conf for config parameters for
96	  interworking.
97	* Android: Add build and runtime support for Android hostapd.
98	* Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
99	  -ddd to enable.
100	* TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
101	* Internal TLS:
102	  - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
103	    CONFIG_TLSV11.
104	  - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names
105	* Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
106	  WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
107	  Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
108	* Many bugfixes.
109
1102010-04-18 - v0.7.2
111	* fix WPS internal Registrar use when an external Registrar is also
112	  active
113	* bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
114	  configuration options
115	* TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
116	* EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
117	  interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
118	  compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
119	* cleaned up driver wrapper API for multi-BSS operations
120	* nl80211: fix multi-BSS and VLAN operations
121	* fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
122	  backwards compatible with old versions
123	* add SA Query Request processing in AP mode (IEEE 802.11w)
124	* fix IGTK PN in group rekeying (IEEE 802.11w)
125	* fix WPS PBC session overlap detection to use correct attribute
126	* hostapd_notif_Assoc() can now be called with all IEs to simplify
127	  driver wrappers
128	* work around interoperability issue with some WPS External Registrar
129	  implementations
130	* nl80211: fix WPS IE update
131	* hostapd_cli: add support for action script operations (run a script
132	  on hostapd events)
133	* fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
134	* fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
135	  driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)
136
1372010-01-16 - v0.7.1
138	* cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
139	  is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
140	  will need modifications
141	* cleaned up various module interfaces
142	* merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
143	  single document
144	* fixed HT Capabilities IE with nl80211 drivers
145	* moved generic AP functionality code into src/ap
146	* WPS: handle Selected Registrar as union of info from all Registrars
147	* remove obsolte Prism54.org driver wrapper
148	* added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
149	  allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
150	* EAP-FAST server: piggyback Phase 2 start with the end of Phase 1
151	* WPS: add support for dynamically selecting whether to provision the
152	  PSK as an ASCII passphrase or PSK
153	* added support for WDS (4-address frame) mode with per-station virtual
154	  interfaces (wds_sta=1 in config file; only supported with
155	  driver=nl80211 for now)
156	* fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
157	  attribute
158	* fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
159	* detect bridge interface automatically so that bridge parameter in
160	  hostapd.conf becomes optional (though, it may now be used to
161	  automatically add then WLAN interface into a bridge with
162	  driver=nl80211)
163
1642009-11-21 - v0.7.0
165	* increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
166	  configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
167	* driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
168	* added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
169	* 802.11n: scan for overlapping BSSes before starting 20/40 MHz channel
170	* driver_nl80211: fixed STA accounting data collection (TX/RX bytes
171	  reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)
172	* added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
173	  Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
174	* fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
175	  authentication server
176	* fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
177	* fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
178	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
179	* fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
180	  standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
181	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
182	* added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
183	  functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
184	  (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build
185	  options)
186	* use shared driver wrapper files with wpa_supplicant
187	* driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
188	  nl80211/mac80211 functionality
189	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
190	* fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
191	  interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
192	* added some IEEE 802.11n co-existence rules to disable 40 MHz channels
193	  or modify primary/secondary channels if needed based on neighboring
194	  networks
195	* added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
196	* added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
197
1982009-01-06 - v0.6.7
199	* added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
200	  (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
201	  and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
202	  methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
203	  external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
204	  be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
205	  runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
206	  the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
207	  wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
208	  more details
209	* added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
210	* added support for generating Country IE based on nl80211 regulatory
211	  information (added if ieee80211d=1 in configuration)
212	* fixed WEP authentication (both Open System and Shared Key) with
213	  mac80211
214	* added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
215	* added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
216	* changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
217	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
218	* fixed retransmission of EAP requests if no response is received
219
2202008-11-23 - v0.6.6
221	* added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
222	  enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
223	  TKIP deficiencies
224	* updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
225	  session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
226	  OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
227	  needed with that version anymore)
228	* changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
229	  the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
230	  using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
231	  information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
232	  channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
233	  regulatory domain)
234	* fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
235	  large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
236	  Ticket data is included)
237	* fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
238
2392008-11-01 - v0.6.5
240	* added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
241	  internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
242	* fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
243	  identity lengths)
244	* fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
245	  by EAP-FAST server)
246	* added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
247	  (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
248	  configuration
249	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
250	  (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
251	  authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
252	* added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
253	  (IEEE 802.11w)
254	* added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
255	  (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
256	* fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
257	  is enabled in configuration
258	* changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
259	  A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
260	  16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
261	  implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
262	* driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
263	  configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
264	  starting from 2.6.29)
265
2662008-08-10 - v0.6.4
267	* added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
268	  Identity Request if identity is already known
269	* added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
270	* added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
271	  (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
272	  changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
273	  and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
274	* added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
275	* added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
276	* added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)
277	  data
278	* added support for opportunistic key caching (OKC)
279
2802008-02-22 - v0.6.3
281	* fixed Reassociation Response callback processing when using internal
282	  MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
283	* updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
284	* copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
285	  as a RADIUS authentication server
286	* fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
287	  received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
288	  could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
289	* fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
290	  be used
291	* added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
292	  termination in the username
293	* fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
294	  attribute in notification messages only when using fast
295	  reauthentication
296	* fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
297	  case
298	* added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
299	  phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
300
3012008-01-01 - v0.6.2
302	* fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
303	  lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
304	* added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
305	  this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
306	  and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
307	  versions
308	* added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
309	  AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
310	* added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
311	  EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
312	* added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
313	  EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
314	  phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
315	  enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
316	  TTLS-MSCHAPV2
317	* removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
318	  parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
319	  -d (or -dd) command line arguments
320	* added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
321	  only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
322
3232007-11-24 - v0.6.1
324	* added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
325	  needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
326	  setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
327	  .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
328	  have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
329	* added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
330	  server
331	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
332	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
333	* added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
334	  pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
335	  (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
336	  either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
337	  hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
338	  not have support for this)
339	* updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
340
3412007-05-28 - v0.6.0
342	* added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
343	* updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
344	* updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
345	* fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
346	* fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
347	  by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
348	* fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
349	* fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
350	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
351	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
352	* hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
353	  entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
354	  (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
355	  provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
356	  if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
357	  instead of hardcoded triplet file)
358	* fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
359	  in Success Request [Bug 203]
360	* added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
361	* updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
362	  (still experimental)
363	* RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
364	  (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
365	  reply
366
3672006-11-24 - v0.5.6
368	* added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
369	  radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
370	  available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
371	* fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
372	  pre-authentication
373	* added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
374	  for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
375	  VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
376	  currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
377	* driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
378	  and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
379	* removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
380	  IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
381	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
382	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
383	* added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
384	  frame protection)
385	  (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
386	  (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
387	* hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
388	* hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
389	  parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
390	  GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
391	  EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
392	* fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
393	  ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
394
3952006-08-27 - v0.5.5
396	* added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
397	  hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
398	  external signal)
399	* fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
400	  using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
401	* added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
402	  id into a file
403	* added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
404
4052006-06-20 - v0.5.4
406	* fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
407	* added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
408	  direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
409	* added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
410	  draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
411	* fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
412	  successfully [Bug 152]
413
4142006-04-27 - v0.5.3
415	* do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
416	  requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
417	  build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
418	* added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
419	  set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
420	  implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
421	  [Bug 89]
422	* added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
423	  this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
424	* fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
425
4262006-03-19 - v0.5.2
427	* fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
428	  logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
429	  vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
430	* moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
431	  program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
432	  eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
433	  triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
434	  to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
435	* added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
436	  local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
437	  hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
438	  and EAP-AKA
439	* added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
440	  to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
441	  disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
442	  to enable this)
443	* driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
444	  madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
445	  broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
446	* changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
447	  instead of a static list generated at build time
448	* fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
449	  [Bug 125]
450	* added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
451
4522006-01-29 - v0.5.1
453	* driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
454	  a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
455	  the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
456	* added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
457
4582005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
459	* added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
460	  direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
461	  build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
462	  and stakey=1)
463	* added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
464	  by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
465	  is ready to continue
466	* improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
467	  HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
468	* added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
469	* added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
470	* added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
471	  user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
472	  for EAP-Nak negotiation
473	* added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
474	  of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
475	  authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
476	  tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
477
4782005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
479	* driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
480	  as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
481	  disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
482	  in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
483	  device at the time (common switch configuration)
484	* driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
485	  to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
486	  association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
487	* driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
488
4892005-10-27 - v0.4.6
490	* added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
491	  User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
492	  for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
493	  tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
494	  does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
495	* driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
496	  ath# is part of a bridge interface
497	* added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
498	* fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
499	  transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
500	  condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
501	  two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
502
5032005-09-25 - v0.4.5
504	* added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
505	  it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
506	* added experimental support for EAP-PSK
507	* added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
508
5092005-08-21 - v0.4.4
510	* fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
511	* fixed FreeBSD build
512
5132005-06-26 - v0.4.3
514	* fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
515	  RADIUS accounting gets correct information
516	* start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
517	  4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
518	* fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
519	  first disassociating
520
5212005-06-12 - v0.4.2
522	* EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
523	* fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
524	* fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
525	* renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
526	  better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
527	* driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
528	  by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
529	  cards
530
5312005-05-22 - v0.4.1
532	* fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
533	  is configured and the other one is left empty
534	* driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
535	* driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
536	  branch of madwifi CVS tree
537	* driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
538	  without disassociation
539	* added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
540	  and adding them to the certificate chain
541	* fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
542	  packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
543	  packets could have cleared Class attribute
544	* added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
545	* added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
546	  using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
547	  options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
548
5492005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
550	* added support for including network information into
551	  EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
552	  (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
553	* fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
554	  freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
555	* fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
556	* added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
557	  when receiving a TLS alert
558	* fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
559	  authenticator
560	* fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
561	  with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
562	* added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
563	  and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
564	  to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
565	  radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
566	  in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
567	* added experimental support for EAP-PAX
568	* replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
569	  the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
570
5712005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
572
5732005-01-23 - v0.3.5
574	* added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
575	  Phase 1 identity
576	* fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
577	  to terminate authentication
578	* fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
579	  draft
580	* clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
581	  session
582	* driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
583	  than one network interface to be used
584	* fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
585	  setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
586	  incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
587	  invalid message 2/4 was received
588	* fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
589	  adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
590	  updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
591	  time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
592	  its first retry, too
593
5942005-01-09 - v0.3.4
595	* added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
596	  authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
597	* fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
598	  (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
599
6002005-01-02 - v0.3.3
601	* added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
602	* added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
603	* added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
604	  the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
605	  for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
606	* added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
607	* added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
608	* added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
609	  with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
610	  authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
611	  radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
612	  CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
613
6142004-12-19 - v0.3.2
615	* removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
616	  been used at all for more than year
617	* driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
618	* added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
619
6202004-12-12 - v0.3.1
621	* added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
622	  variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
623	  this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
624	  external RADIUS server
625	* added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
626	  PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
627
6282004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
629	* added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
630	* added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
631	* added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
632	* added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
633	* made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
634	* fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
635	* fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
636	  eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
637	  IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
638	* added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
639	  client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
640	  new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
641	  containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
642	* added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
643	  used with other drivers
644	* added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
645	  hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
646	* added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
647	  madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
648	  madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
649	  .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
650	  CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
651	  build)
652	* fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
653	  platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
654	  align variables)
655	* fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
656	  accounting packets
657	* added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
658	  CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
659	* started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
660	  'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
661	* finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
662	* added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
663	  hostapd.conf)
664	* updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
665	  (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
666	  IEEE 802.11F-2003)
667	* added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
668	  note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
669	  CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
670	  build)
671	* dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
672	* fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
673	  a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
674	* fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
675	  deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
676	  and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
677	  deauthenticating
678	* added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
679	  external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
680	  supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
681	  method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
682	  be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
683	  and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
684	  ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
685	* added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
686	  layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
687	  .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
688	  yet been committed
689
6902004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
691	* fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
692	  IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
693
6942004-06-20 - v0.2.3
695	* modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
696	  error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
697	  changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
698	* fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
699	  twice causing a segfault for hostapd
700	* fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
701	  was used)
702
7032004-05-31 - v0.2.2
704	* fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
705	* fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
706	  cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
707	* added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
708	  authentication messages into accounting messages
709	* send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
710	  EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
711	* fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
712	  not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
713
7142004-05-06 - v0.2.1
715	* added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
716	  - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
717	    (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
718	  - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
719	  - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
720	  - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
721	  - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
722	    wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
723	    rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
724	* fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
725	  to the STA before sending a new one
726
7272004-02-15 - v0.2.0
728	* added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
729	  - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
730	  - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
731	    'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
732	  - allow different update intervals for each STA
733	* fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
734	  the real signal handler
735	* reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
736	  that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
737	  STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
738	  before the timer is triggered).
739	* added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
740	  add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
741	  and accounting messages
742	* added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
743	* fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
744	  per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
745	  initialized properly
746	* fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
747	  previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
748	  802.1X data) was removed
749
750
751Note:
752
753Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
754of the Host AP driver.
