35 	  implementations that can change SNonce for each EAP-Key 2/4
36 	* added a workaround for EAPOL-Key 4/4 using incorrect type value in
37 	  WPA2 mode (some deployed stations use WPA type in that message)
38 	* added a WPS workaround for mixed mode AP Settings with Windows 7
39 	* changed WPS AP PIN disabling mechanism to disable the PIN after 10
40 	  consecutive failures in addition to using the exponential lockout

62 	    SQN in Milenage file
63 	  - use 5 bit IND for SQN updates
64 	  - SQLite database can now be used to store Milenage information
65 	* EAP-SIM/AKA DB: added optional use of SQLite database for pseudonyms
66 	  and reauth data
67 	* added support for Chargeable-User-Identity (RFC 4372)

79 	* added SA Query support for drivers that implement MLME internally
80 	* removed default ACM=1 from AC_VO and AC_VI
81 	* changed VENDOR-TEST EAP method to use proper private enterprise number
82 	  (this will not interoperate with older versions)
83 	* added hostapd.conf parameter vendor_elements to allow arbitrary vendor
84 	  specific elements to be added to the Beacon and Probe Response frames
85 	* added support for configuring GCMP cipher for IEEE 802.11ad
86 	* added support for 256-bit AES with internal TLS implementation
87 	* changed EAPOL transmission to use AC_VO if WMM is active
88 	* fixed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS/FAST server to validate TLS Message Length
89 	  correctly; invalid messages could have caused the hostapd process to
90 	  terminate before this fix [CVE-2012-4445]
91 	* limit number of active wildcard PINs for WPS Registrar to one to avoid
92 	  confusing behavior with multiple wildcard PINs

97 	* added Acct-Session-Id attribute into Access-Request messages
98 	* fixed EAPOL frame transmission to non-QoS STAs with nl80211

101 
102 2012-05-10 - v1.0
103 	* Add channel selection support in hostapd. See hostapd.conf.
104 	* Add support for IEEE 802.11v Time Advertisement mechanism with UTC
105 	  TSF offset. See hostapd.conf for config info.
106 	* Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
107 	  This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
108 	  Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
109 	  available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
110 	  Disassoc frames (nl80211).
111 	* Allow PMKSA caching to be disabled on the Authenticator. See
112 	  hostap.conf config parameter disable_pmksa_caching.
113 	* atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
114 	* bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
115 	* Allow client isolation to be configured with ap_isolate. Client
116 	  isolation can be used to prevent low-level bridging of frames
117 	  between associated stations in the BSS. By default, this bridging
118 	  is allowed.
119 	* Allow coexistance of HT BSSes with WEP/TKIP BSSes.
120 	* Add require_ht config parameter, which can be used to configure
121 	  hostapd to reject association with any station that does not support
122 	  HT PHY.
123 	* Add support for writing debug log to a file using "-f" option. Also
124 	  add relog CLI command to re-open the log file.
125 	* Add bridge handling for WDS STA interfaces. By default they are
126 	  added to the configured bridge of the AP interface (if present),
127 	  but the user can also specify a separate bridge using cli command
128 	  wds_bridge.
129 	* hostapd_cli:
130 	  - Add wds_bridge command for specifying bridge for WDS STA
131 	    interfaces.
132 	  - Add relog command for reopening log file.
133 	  - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
134 	    due to inactivity.
135 	  - Add wps_config ctrl_interface command for configuring AP. This
136 	    command can be used to configure the AP using the internal WPS
137 	    registrar. It works in the same way as new AP settings received
138 	    from an ER.
139 	  - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
140 	  - Add command get version, that returns hostapd version string.
141 	* WNM: Add BSS Transition Management Request for ESS Disassoc Imminent.
142 	  Use hostapd_cli ess_disassoc (STA addr) (URL) to send the
143 	  notification to the STA.
144 	* Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
145 	  the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
146 	  going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
147 	  config option disassoc_low_ack.
148 	* Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
149 	  config file.
150 	* WPS:
151 	  - Send AP Settings as a wrapped Credential attribute to ctrl_iface
152 	    in WPS-NEW-AP-SETTINGS.
153 	  - Dispatch more WPS events through hostapd ctrl_iface.
154 	  - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
155 	  - Change concurrent radio AP to use only one WPS UPnP instance.
156 	  - Add wps_check_pin command for processing PIN from user input.
157 	    UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
158 	    validate the checksum digit (if present).
159 	  - Add hostap_cli get_config command to display current AP config.
160 	  - Add new hostapd_cli command, wps_ap_pin, to manage AP PIN at
161 	    runtime and support dynamic AP PIN management.
162 	  - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks
163 	    on failures up to 10.
164 	  - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing,
165 	    to be compatible with Windows 7.
166 	  - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info
167 	    to the user on how to resolve the issue.
168 	  - When controlling multiple interfaces:
169 	     - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
170 	     - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
171 	     - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
172 	       all interfaces
173 	* WPS ER:
174 	  - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events.
175 	  - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
176 	    ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
177 	    WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
178 	* WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
179 	  - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
180 	    for testing protocol extensibility.
181 	  - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
182 	    workarounds.
183 	  - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
184 	* TDLS:
185 	  - Allow TDLS use or TDLS channel switching in the BSS to be
186 	    prohibited in the BSS, using config params tdls_prohibit and
187 	    tdls_prohibit_chan_switch.
188 	* EAP server: Add support for configuring fragment size (see
189 	  fragment_size in hostapd.conf).
190 	* wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
191 	  wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
192 	  for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
193 	* Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
194 	  CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See hostapd.conf for config parameters for
195 	  interworking.
196 	* Android: Add build and runtime support for Android hostapd.
197 	* Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
198 	  -ddd to enable.
199 	* TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
200 	* Internal TLS:
201 	  - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
202 	    CONFIG_TLSV11.
203 	  - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names
204 	* Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
205 	  WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
206 	  Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
207 	* Many bugfixes.
208 
209 2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
210 	* fix WPS internal Registrar use when an external Registrar is also
211 	  active
212 	* bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
213 	  configuration options
214 	* TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
215 	* EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
216 	  interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
217 	  compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
218 	* cleaned up driver wrapper API for multi-BSS operations
219 	* nl80211: fix multi-BSS and VLAN operations
220 	* fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
221 	  backwards compatible with old versions
222 	* add SA Query Request processing in AP mode (IEEE 802.11w)
223 	* fix IGTK PN in group rekeying (IEEE 802.11w)

225 	* hostapd_notif_Assoc() can now be called with all IEs to simplify
226 	  driver wrappers
227 	* work around interoperability issue with some WPS External Registrar
228 	  implementations
229 	* nl80211: fix WPS IE update
230 	* hostapd_cli: add support for action script operations (run a script
231 	  on hostapd events)
232 	* fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
233 	* fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
234 	  driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)
235 
236 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
237 	* cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
238 	  is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
239 	  will need modifications
240 	* cleaned up various module interfaces
241 	* merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
242 	  single document
243 	* fixed HT Capabilities IE with nl80211 drivers
244 	* moved generic AP functionality code into src/ap
245 	* WPS: handle Selected Registrar as union of info from all Registrars
246 	* remove obsolte Prism54.org driver wrapper
247 	* added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
248 	  allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
249 	* EAP-FAST server: piggyback Phase 2 start with the end of Phase 1
250 	* WPS: add support for dynamically selecting whether to provision the
251 	  PSK as an ASCII passphrase or PSK
252 	* added support for WDS (4-address frame) mode with per-station virtual
253 	  interfaces (wds_sta=1 in config file; only supported with
254 	  driver=nl80211 for now)
255 	* fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
256 	  attribute
257 	* fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
258 	* detect bridge interface automatically so that bridge parameter in
259 	  hostapd.conf becomes optional (though, it may now be used to
260 	  automatically add then WLAN interface into a bridge with
261 	  driver=nl80211)
262 
263 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
264 	* increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
265 	  configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
266 	* driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
267 	* added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
268 	* 802.11n: scan for overlapping BSSes before starting 20/40 MHz channel
269 	* driver_nl80211: fixed STA accounting data collection (TX/RX bytes
270 	  reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)
271 	* added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
272 	  Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
273 	* fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
274 	  authentication server
275 	* fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
276 	* fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
277 	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
278 	* fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
279 	  standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
280 	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
281 	* added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
282 	  functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
283 	  (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build
284 	  options)
285 	* use shared driver wrapper files with wpa_supplicant
286 	* driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
287 	  nl80211/mac80211 functionality
288 	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
289 	* fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
290 	  interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
291 	* added some IEEE 802.11n co-existence rules to disable 40 MHz channels
292 	  or modify primary/secondary channels if needed based on neighboring
293 	  networks
294 	* added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
295 	* added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
296 
297 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
298 	* added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
299 	  (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
300 	  and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
301 	  methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
302 	  external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
303 	  be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
304 	  runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
305 	  the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
306 	  wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
307 	  more details
308 	* added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
309 	* added support for generating Country IE based on nl80211 regulatory
310 	  information (added if ieee80211d=1 in configuration)
311 	* fixed WEP authentication (both Open System and Shared Key) with
312 	  mac80211
313 	* added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
314 	* added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
315 	* changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
316 	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
317 	* fixed retransmission of EAP requests if no response is received
318 
319 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
320 	* added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
321 	  enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
322 	  TKIP deficiencies
323 	* updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
324 	  session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
325 	  OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
326 	  needed with that version anymore)
327 	* changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
328 	  the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
329 	  using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
330 	  information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
331 	  channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
332 	  regulatory domain)
333 	* fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
334 	  large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
335 	  Ticket data is included)
336 	* fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
337 
338 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
339 	* added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
340 	  internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
341 	* fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
342 	  identity lengths)
343 	* fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
344 	  by EAP-FAST server)
345 	* added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
346 	  (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
347 	  configuration
348 	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
349 	  (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
350 	  authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
351 	* added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
352 	  (IEEE 802.11w)
353 	* added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
354 	  (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
355 	* fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
356 	  is enabled in configuration
357 	* changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
358 	  A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
359 	  16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
360 	  implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
361 	* driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
362 	  configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
363 	  starting from 2.6.29)
364 
365 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
366 	* added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
367 	  Identity Request if identity is already known
368 	* added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
369 	* added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
370 	  (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
371 	  changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
372 	  and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
373 	* added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
374 	* added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
375 	* added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)
376 	  data
377 	* added support for opportunistic key caching (OKC)
378 
379 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
380 	* fixed Reassociation Response callback processing when using internal
381 	  MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
382 	* updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
383 	* copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
384 	  as a RADIUS authentication server
385 	* fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
386 	  received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
387 	  could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
388 	* fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
389 	  be used
390 	* added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
391 	  termination in the username
392 	* fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
393 	  attribute in notification messages only when using fast
394 	  reauthentication
395 	* fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
396 	  case
397 	* added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
398 	  phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
399 
400 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
401 	* fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
402 	  lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
403 	* added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
404 	  this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
405 	  and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
406 	  versions
407 	* added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
408 	  AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
409 	* added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
410 	  EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
411 	* added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
412 	  EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
413 	  phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
414 	  enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
415 	  TTLS-MSCHAPV2
416 	* removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
417 	  parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
418 	  -d (or -dd) command line arguments
419 	* added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
420 	  only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
421 
422 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
423 	* added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
424 	  needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
425 	  setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
426 	  .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
427 	  have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
428 	* added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
429 	  server
430 	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
431 	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
432 	* added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
433 	  pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
434 	  (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
435 	  either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
436 	  hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
437 	  not have support for this)
438 	* updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
439 
440 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
441 	* added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
442 	* updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
443 	* updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
444 	* fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
445 	* fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
446 	  by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
447 	* fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
448 	* fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
449 	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
450 	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
451 	* hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
452 	  entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
453 	  (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
454 	  provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
455 	  if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
456 	  instead of hardcoded triplet file)
457 	* fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
458 	  in Success Request [Bug 203]
459 	* added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
460 	* updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
461 	  (still experimental)
462 	* RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
463 	  (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
464 	  reply
465 
466 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
467 	* added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
468 	  radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
469 	  available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
470 	* fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
471 	  pre-authentication
472 	* added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
473 	  for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
474 	  VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
475 	  currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
476 	* driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
477 	  and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
478 	* removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
479 	  IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
480 	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
481 	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
482 	* added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
483 	  frame protection)
484 	  (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
485 	  (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
486 	* hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
487 	* hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
488 	  parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
489 	  GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
490 	  EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
491 	* fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
492 	  ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
493 
494 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
495 	* added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
496 	  hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
497 	  external signal)
498 	* fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
499 	  using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
500 	* added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
501 	  id into a file
502 	* added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
503 
504 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
505 	* fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
506 	* added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
507 	  direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
508 	* added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
509 	  draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
510 	* fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
511 	  successfully [Bug 152]
512 
513 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
514 	* do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
515 	  requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
516 	  build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
517 	* added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
518 	  set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
519 	  implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
520 	  [Bug 89]
521 	* added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
522 	  this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
523 	* fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
524 
525 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
526 	* fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
527 	  logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
528 	  vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
529 	* moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
530 	  program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
531 	  eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
532 	  triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
533 	  to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
534 	* added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
535 	  local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
536 	  hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
537 	  and EAP-AKA
538 	* added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
539 	  to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
540 	  disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
541 	  to enable this)
542 	* driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
543 	  madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
544 	  broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
545 	* changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
546 	  instead of a static list generated at build time
547 	* fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
548 	  [Bug 125]
549 	* added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
550 
551 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
552 	* driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
553 	  a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
554 	  the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
555 	* added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
556 
557 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
558 	* added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
559 	  direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
560 	  build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
561 	  and stakey=1)
562 	* added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
563 	  by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
564 	  is ready to continue
565 	* improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
566 	  HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
567 	* added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
568 	* added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
569 	* added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
570 	  user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
571 	  for EAP-Nak negotiation
572 	* added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
573 	  of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
574 	  authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
575 	  tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
576 
577 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
578 	* driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
579 	  as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
580 	  disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
581 	  in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
582 	  device at the time (common switch configuration)
583 	* driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
584 	  to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
585 	  association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
586 	* driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
587 
588 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
589 	* added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
590 	  User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
591 	  for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
592 	  tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
593 	  does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
594 	* driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
595 	  ath# is part of a bridge interface
596 	* added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
597 	* fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
598 	  transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
599 	  condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
600 	  two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
601 
602 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
603 	* added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
604 	  it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
605 	* added experimental support for EAP-PSK
606 	* added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
607 
608 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
609 	* fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
610 	* fixed FreeBSD build
611 
612 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
613 	* fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
614 	  RADIUS accounting gets correct information
615 	* start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
616 	  4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
617 	* fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
618 	  first disassociating
619 
620 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
621 	* EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
622 	* fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
623 	* fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
624 	* renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
625 	  better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
626 	* driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
627 	  by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
628 	  cards
629 
630 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
631 	* fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
632 	  is configured and the other one is left empty
633 	* driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
634 	* driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
635 	  branch of madwifi CVS tree
636 	* driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
637 	  without disassociation
638 	* added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
639 	  and adding them to the certificate chain
640 	* fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
641 	  packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
642 	  packets could have cleared Class attribute
643 	* added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
644 	* added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
645 	  using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
646 	  options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
647 
648 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
649 	* added support for including network information into
650 	  EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
651 	  (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
652 	* fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
653 	  freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
654 	* fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
655 	* added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
656 	  when receiving a TLS alert
657 	* fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
658 	  authenticator
659 	* fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
660 	  with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
661 	* added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
662 	  and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
663 	  to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
664 	  radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
665 	  in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
666 	* added experimental support for EAP-PAX
667 	* replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
668 	  the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
669 
670 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
671 
672 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
673 	* added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
674 	  Phase 1 identity
675 	* fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
676 	  to terminate authentication
677 	* fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
678 	  draft
679 	* clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
680 	  session
681 	* driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
682 	  than one network interface to be used
683 	* fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
684 	  setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
685 	  incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
686 	  invalid message 2/4 was received
687 	* fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
688 	  adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
689 	  updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
690 	  time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
691 	  its first retry, too
692 
693 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
694 	* added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
695 	  authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
696 	* fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
697 	  (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
698 
699 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
700 	* added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
701 	* added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
702 	* added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
703 	  the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
704 	  for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
705 	* added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
706 	* added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
707 	* added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
708 	  with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
709 	  authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
710 	  radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
711 	  CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
712 
713 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
714 	* removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
715 	  been used at all for more than year
716 	* driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
717 	* added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
718 
719 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
720 	* added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
721 	  variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
722 	  this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
723 	  external RADIUS server
724 	* added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
725 	  PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
726 
727 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
728 	* added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
729 	* added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
730 	* added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
731 	* added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
732 	* made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
733 	* fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
734 	* fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
735 	  eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
736 	  IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
737 	* added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
738 	  client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
739 	  new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
740 	  containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
741 	* added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
742 	  used with other drivers
743 	* added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
744 	  hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
745 	* added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
746 	  madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
747 	  madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
748 	  .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
749 	  CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
750 	  build)
751 	* fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
752 	  platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
753 	  align variables)
754 	* fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
755 	  accounting packets
756 	* added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
757 	  CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
758 	* started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
759 	  'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
760 	* finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
761 	* added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
762 	  hostapd.conf)
763 	* updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
764 	  (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
765 	  IEEE 802.11F-2003)
766 	* added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
767 	  note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
768 	  CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
769 	  build)
770 	* dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
771 	* fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
772 	  a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
773 	* fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
774 	  deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
775 	  and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
776 	  deauthenticating
777 	* added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
778 	  external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
779 	  supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
780 	  method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
781 	  be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
782 	  and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
783 	  ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
784 	* added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
785 	  layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
786 	  .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
787 	  yet been committed
788 
789 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
790 	* fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
791 	  IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
792 
793 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
794 	* modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
795 	  error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
796 	  changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
797 	* fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
798 	  twice causing a segfault for hostapd
799 	* fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
800 	  was used)
801 
802 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
803 	* fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
804 	* fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
805 	  cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
806 	* added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
807 	  authentication messages into accounting messages
808 	* send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
809 	  EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
810 	* fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
811 	  not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
812 
813 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
814 	* added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
815 	  - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
816 	    (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
817 	  - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
818 	  - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
819 	  - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
820 	  - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
821 	    wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
822 	    rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
823 	* fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
824 	  to the STA before sending a new one
825 
826 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
827 	* added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
828 	  - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
829 	  - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
830 	    'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
831 	  - allow different update intervals for each STA
832 	* fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
833 	  the real signal handler
834 	* reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
835 	  that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
836 	  STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
837 	  before the timer is triggered).
838 	* added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
839 	  add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
840 	  and accounting messages
841 	* added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
842 	* fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
843 	  per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
844 	  initialized properly
845 	* fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
846 	  previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
847 	  802.1X data) was removed
848
