6	  included in more entries)
7	* added number of small changes to make it easier for static analyzers
8	  to understand the implementation
9	* added a workaround for Windows 7 Michael MIC failure reporting and
10	  use of the Secure bit in EAPOL-Key msg 3/4
11	* fixed number of small bugs (see git logs for more details)
12	* changed OpenSSL to read full certificate chain from server_cert file
13	* nl80211: number of updates to use new cfg80211/nl80211 functionality
14	  - replace monitor interface with nl80211 commands

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

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

97
982012-05-10 - v1.0
99	* Add channel selection support in hostapd. See hostapd.conf.
100	* Add support for IEEE 802.11v Time Advertisement mechanism with UTC
101	  TSF offset. See hostapd.conf for config info.
102	* Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
103	  This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
104	  Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
105	  available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
106	  Disassoc frames (nl80211).
107	* Allow PMKSA caching to be disabled on the Authenticator. See
108	  hostap.conf config parameter disable_pmksa_caching.
109	* atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
110	* bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
111	* Allow client isolation to be configured with ap_isolate. Client
112	  isolation can be used to prevent low-level bridging of frames
113	  between associated stations in the BSS. By default, this bridging
114	  is allowed.
115	* Allow coexistance of HT BSSes with WEP/TKIP BSSes.
116	* Add require_ht config parameter, which can be used to configure
117	  hostapd to reject association with any station that does not support
118	  HT PHY.
119	* Add support for writing debug log to a file using "-f" option. Also
120	  add relog CLI command to re-open the log file.
121	* Add bridge handling for WDS STA interfaces. By default they are
122	  added to the configured bridge of the AP interface (if present),
123	  but the user can also specify a separate bridge using cli command
124	  wds_bridge.
125	* hostapd_cli:
126	  - Add wds_bridge command for specifying bridge for WDS STA
127	    interfaces.
128	  - Add relog command for reopening log file.
129	  - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
130	    due to inactivity.
131	  - Add wps_config ctrl_interface command for configuring AP. This
132	    command can be used to configure the AP using the internal WPS
133	    registrar. It works in the same way as new AP settings received
134	    from an ER.
135	  - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
136	  - Add command get version, that returns hostapd version string.
137	* WNM: Add BSS Transition Management Request for ESS Disassoc Imminent.
138	  Use hostapd_cli ess_disassoc (STA addr) (URL) to send the
139	  notification to the STA.
140	* Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
141	  the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
142	  going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
143	  config option disassoc_low_ack.
144	* Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
145	  config file.
146	* WPS:
147	  - Send AP Settings as a wrapped Credential attribute to ctrl_iface
148	    in WPS-NEW-AP-SETTINGS.
149	  - Dispatch more WPS events through hostapd ctrl_iface.
150	  - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
151	  - Change concurrent radio AP to use only one WPS UPnP instance.
152	  - Add wps_check_pin command for processing PIN from user input.
153	    UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
154	    validate the checksum digit (if present).
155	  - Add hostap_cli get_config command to display current AP config.
156	  - Add new hostapd_cli command, wps_ap_pin, to manage AP PIN at
157	    runtime and support dynamic AP PIN management.
158	  - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks
159	    on failures up to 10.
160	  - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing,
161	    to be compatible with Windows 7.
162	  - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info
163	    to the user on how to resolve the issue.
164	  - When controlling multiple interfaces:
165	     - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
166	     - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
167	     - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
168	       all interfaces
169	* WPS ER:
170	  - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events.
171	  - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
172	    ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
173	    WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
174	* WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
175	  - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
176	    for testing protocol extensibility.
177	  - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
178	    workarounds.
179	  - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
180	* TDLS:
181	  - Allow TDLS use or TDLS channel switching in the BSS to be
182	    prohibited in the BSS, using config params tdls_prohibit and
183	    tdls_prohibit_chan_switch.
184	* EAP server: Add support for configuring fragment size (see
185	  fragment_size in hostapd.conf).
186	* wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
187	  wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
188	  for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
189	* Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
190	  CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See hostapd.conf for config parameters for
191	  interworking.
192	* Android: Add build and runtime support for Android hostapd.
193	* Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
194	  -ddd to enable.
195	* TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
196	* Internal TLS:
197	  - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
198	    CONFIG_TLSV11.
199	  - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names
200	* Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
201	  WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
202	  Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
203	* Many bugfixes.
204
2052010-04-18 - v0.7.2
206	* fix WPS internal Registrar use when an external Registrar is also
207	  active
208	* bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
209	  configuration options
210	* TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
211	* EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
212	  interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
213	  compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
214	* cleaned up driver wrapper API for multi-BSS operations
215	* nl80211: fix multi-BSS and VLAN operations
216	* fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
217	  backwards compatible with old versions
218	* add SA Query Request processing in AP mode (IEEE 802.11w)
219	* fix IGTK PN in group rekeying (IEEE 802.11w)
220	* fix WPS PBC session overlap detection to use correct attribute
221	* hostapd_notif_Assoc() can now be called with all IEs to simplify
222	  driver wrappers
223	* work around interoperability issue with some WPS External Registrar
224	  implementations
225	* nl80211: fix WPS IE update
226	* hostapd_cli: add support for action script operations (run a script
227	  on hostapd events)
228	* fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
229	* fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
230	  driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)
231
2322010-01-16 - v0.7.1
233	* cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
234	  is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
235	  will need modifications
236	* cleaned up various module interfaces
237	* merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
238	  single document
239	* fixed HT Capabilities IE with nl80211 drivers
240	* moved generic AP functionality code into src/ap
241	* WPS: handle Selected Registrar as union of info from all Registrars

246	* WPS: add support for dynamically selecting whether to provision the
247	  PSK as an ASCII passphrase or PSK
248	* added support for WDS (4-address frame) mode with per-station virtual
249	  interfaces (wds_sta=1 in config file; only supported with
250	  driver=nl80211 for now)
251	* fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
252	  attribute
253	* fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
254	* detect bridge interface automatically so that bridge parameter in
255	  hostapd.conf becomes optional (though, it may now be used to
256	  automatically add then WLAN interface into a bridge with
257	  driver=nl80211)
258
2592009-11-21 - v0.7.0
260	* increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
261	  configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
262	* driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
263	* added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
264	* 802.11n: scan for overlapping BSSes before starting 20/40 MHz channel
265	* driver_nl80211: fixed STA accounting data collection (TX/RX bytes
266	  reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)
267	* added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
268	  Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
269	* fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
270	  authentication server
271	* fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
272	* fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
273	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
274	* fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
275	  standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
276	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
277	* added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
278	  functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
279	  (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build
280	  options)
281	* use shared driver wrapper files with wpa_supplicant
282	* driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
283	  nl80211/mac80211 functionality
284	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
285	* fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
286	  interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
287	* added some IEEE 802.11n co-existence rules to disable 40 MHz channels
288	  or modify primary/secondary channels if needed based on neighboring
289	  networks
290	* added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
291	* added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
292
2932009-01-06 - v0.6.7
294	* added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
295	  (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
296	  and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
297	  methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
298	  external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
299	  be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
300	  runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
301	  the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
302	  wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
303	  more details
304	* added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
305	* added support for generating Country IE based on nl80211 regulatory
306	  information (added if ieee80211d=1 in configuration)
307	* fixed WEP authentication (both Open System and Shared Key) with
308	  mac80211
309	* added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
310	* added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
311	* changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
312	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
313	* fixed retransmission of EAP requests if no response is received
314
3152008-11-23 - v0.6.6
316	* added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
317	  enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
318	  TKIP deficiencies
319	* updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
320	  session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
321	  OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
322	  needed with that version anymore)
323	* changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
324	  the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
325	  using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
326	  information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
327	  channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
328	  regulatory domain)
329	* fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
330	  large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
331	  Ticket data is included)
332	* fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
333
3342008-11-01 - v0.6.5
335	* added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
336	  internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
337	* fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
338	  identity lengths)
339	* fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
340	  by EAP-FAST server)
341	* added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
342	  (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
343	  configuration
344	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
345	  (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
346	  authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
347	* added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
348	  (IEEE 802.11w)
349	* added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
350	  (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
351	* fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
352	  is enabled in configuration
353	* changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
354	  A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
355	  16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
356	  implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
357	* driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
358	  configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
359	  starting from 2.6.29)
360
3612008-08-10 - v0.6.4
362	* added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
363	  Identity Request if identity is already known
364	* added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
365	* added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
366	  (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
367	  changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
368	  and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
369	* added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
370	* added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
371	* added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)
372	  data
373	* added support for opportunistic key caching (OKC)
374
3752008-02-22 - v0.6.3
376	* fixed Reassociation Response callback processing when using internal
377	  MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
378	* updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
379	* copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
380	  as a RADIUS authentication server
381	* fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
382	  received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
383	  could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
384	* fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
385	  be used
386	* added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
387	  termination in the username
388	* fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
389	  attribute in notification messages only when using fast
390	  reauthentication
391	* fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
392	  case
393	* added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
394	  phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
395
3962008-01-01 - v0.6.2
397	* fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
398	  lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
399	* added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
400	  this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
401	  and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
402	  versions
403	* added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
404	  AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
405	* added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
406	  EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
407	* added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
408	  EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
409	  phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
410	  enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
411	  TTLS-MSCHAPV2
412	* removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
413	  parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
414	  -d (or -dd) command line arguments
415	* added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
416	  only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
417
4182007-11-24 - v0.6.1
419	* added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
420	  needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
421	  setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
422	  .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
423	  have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
424	* added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
425	  server
426	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
427	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
428	* added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
429	  pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
430	  (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
431	  either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
432	  hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
433	  not have support for this)
434	* updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
435
4362007-05-28 - v0.6.0
437	* added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
438	* updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
439	* updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
440	* fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
441	* fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
442	  by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
443	* fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
444	* fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
445	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
446	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
447	* hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
448	  entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
449	  (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
450	  provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
451	  if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
452	  instead of hardcoded triplet file)
453	* fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
454	  in Success Request [Bug 203]
455	* added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
456	* updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
457	  (still experimental)
458	* RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
459	  (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
460	  reply
461
4622006-11-24 - v0.5.6
463	* added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
464	  radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
465	  available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
466	* fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
467	  pre-authentication
468	* added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
469	  for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
470	  VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
471	  currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
472	* driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
473	  and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
474	* removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
475	  IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
476	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
477	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
478	* added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
479	  frame protection)
480	  (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
481	  (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
482	* hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
483	* hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
484	  parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
485	  GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
486	  EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
487	* fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
488	  ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
489
4902006-08-27 - v0.5.5
491	* added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
492	  hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
493	  external signal)
494	* fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
495	  using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
496	* added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
497	  id into a file
498	* added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
499
5002006-06-20 - v0.5.4
501	* fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
502	* added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
503	  direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
504	* added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
505	  draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
506	* fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
507	  successfully [Bug 152]
508
5092006-04-27 - v0.5.3
510	* do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
511	  requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
512	  build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
513	* added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
514	  set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
515	  implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
516	  [Bug 89]
517	* added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
518	  this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
519	* fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
520
5212006-03-19 - v0.5.2
522	* fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
523	  logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
524	  vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
525	* moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
526	  program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
527	  eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
528	  triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
529	  to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
530	* added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
531	  local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
532	  hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
533	  and EAP-AKA
534	* added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
535	  to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
536	  disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
537	  to enable this)
538	* driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
539	  madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
540	  broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
541	* changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
542	  instead of a static list generated at build time
543	* fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
544	  [Bug 125]
545	* added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
546
5472006-01-29 - v0.5.1
548	* driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
549	  a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
550	  the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
551	* added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
552
5532005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
554	* added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
555	  direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
556	  build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
557	  and stakey=1)
558	* added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
559	  by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
560	  is ready to continue
561	* improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
562	  HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
563	* added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
564	* added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
565	* added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
566	  user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
567	  for EAP-Nak negotiation
568	* added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
569	  of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
570	  authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
571	  tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
572
5732005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
574	* driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
575	  as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
576	  disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
577	  in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
578	  device at the time (common switch configuration)
579	* driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
580	  to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
581	  association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
582	* driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
583
5842005-10-27 - v0.4.6
585	* added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
586	  User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
587	  for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
588	  tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
589	  does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
590	* driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
591	  ath# is part of a bridge interface
592	* added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
593	* fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
594	  transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
595	  condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
596	  two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
597
5982005-09-25 - v0.4.5
599	* added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
600	  it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
601	* added experimental support for EAP-PSK
602	* added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
603
6042005-08-21 - v0.4.4
605	* fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
606	* fixed FreeBSD build
607
6082005-06-26 - v0.4.3
609	* fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
610	  RADIUS accounting gets correct information
611	* start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
612	  4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
613	* fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
614	  first disassociating
615
6162005-06-12 - v0.4.2
617	* EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
618	* fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
619	* fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
620	* renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
621	  better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
622	* driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
623	  by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
624	  cards
625
6262005-05-22 - v0.4.1
627	* fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
628	  is configured and the other one is left empty
629	* driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
630	* driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
631	  branch of madwifi CVS tree
632	* driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
633	  without disassociation
634	* added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
635	  and adding them to the certificate chain
636	* fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
637	  packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
638	  packets could have cleared Class attribute
639	* added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
640	* added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
641	  using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
642	  options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
643
6442005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
645	* added support for including network information into
646	  EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
647	  (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
648	* fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
649	  freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
650	* fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
651	* added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
652	  when receiving a TLS alert
653	* fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
654	  authenticator
655	* fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
656	  with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
657	* added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
658	  and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
659	  to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
660	  radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
661	  in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
662	* added experimental support for EAP-PAX
663	* replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
664	  the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
665
6662005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
667
6682005-01-23 - v0.3.5
669	* added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
670	  Phase 1 identity
671	* fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
672	  to terminate authentication
673	* fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
674	  draft
675	* clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
676	  session
677	* driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
678	  than one network interface to be used
679	* fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
680	  setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
681	  incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
682	  invalid message 2/4 was received
683	* fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
684	  adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
685	  updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
686	  time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
687	  its first retry, too
688
6892005-01-09 - v0.3.4
690	* added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
691	  authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
692	* fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
693	  (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
694
6952005-01-02 - v0.3.3
696	* added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
697	* added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
698	* added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
699	  the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
700	  for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
701	* added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
702	* added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
703	* added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
704	  with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
705	  authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
706	  radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
707	  CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
708
7092004-12-19 - v0.3.2
710	* removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
711	  been used at all for more than year
712	* driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
713	* added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
714
7152004-12-12 - v0.3.1
716	* added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
717	  variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
718	  this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
719	  external RADIUS server
720	* added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
721	  PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
722
7232004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
724	* added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
725	* added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
726	* added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
727	* added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
728	* made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
729	* fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
730	* fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
731	  eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
732	  IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
733	* added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
734	  client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
735	  new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
736	  containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
737	* added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
738	  used with other drivers
739	* added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
740	  hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
741	* added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
742	  madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
743	  madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
744	  .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
745	  CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
746	  build)
747	* fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
748	  platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
749	  align variables)
750	* fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
751	  accounting packets
752	* added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
753	  CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
754	* started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
755	  'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
756	* finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
757	* added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
758	  hostapd.conf)
759	* updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
760	  (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
761	  IEEE 802.11F-2003)
762	* added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
763	  note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
764	  CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
765	  build)
766	* dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
767	* fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
768	  a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
769	* fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
770	  deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
771	  and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
772	  deauthenticating
773	* added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
774	  external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
775	  supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
776	  method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
777	  be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
778	  and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
779	  ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
780	* added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
781	  layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
782	  .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
783	  yet been committed
784
7852004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
786	* fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
787	  IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
788
7892004-06-20 - v0.2.3
790	* modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
791	  error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
792	  changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
793	* fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
794	  twice causing a segfault for hostapd
795	* fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
796	  was used)
797
7982004-05-31 - v0.2.2
799	* fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
800	* fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
801	  cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
802	* added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
803	  authentication messages into accounting messages
804	* send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
805	  EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
806	* fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
807	  not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
808
8092004-05-06 - v0.2.1
810	* added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
811	  - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
812	    (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
813	  - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
814	  - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
815	  - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
816	  - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
817	    wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
818	    rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
819	* fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
820	  to the STA before sending a new one
821
8222004-02-15 - v0.2.0
823	* added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
824	  - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
825	  - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
826	    'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
827	  - allow different update intervals for each STA
828	* fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
829	  the real signal handler
830	* reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
831	  that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
832	  STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
833	  before the timer is triggered).
834	* added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
835	  add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
836	  and accounting messages
837	* added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
838	* fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
839	  per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
840	  initialized properly
841	* fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
842	  previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
843	  802.1X data) was removed
844
