ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant

2013-01-12 - v2.0
	* removed Qt3-based wpa_gui (obsoleted by wpa_qui-qt4)
	* removed unmaintained driver wrappers broadcom, iphone, osx, ralink,
	  hostap, madwifi (hostap and madwifi remain available for hostapd;
	  their wpa_supplicant functionality is obsoleted by wext)
	* improved debug logging (human readable event names, interface name
	  included in more entries)
	* changed AP mode behavior to enable WPS only for open and
	  WPA/WPA2-Personal configuration
	* improved P2P concurrency operations
	  - better coordination of concurrent scan and P2P search operations
	  - avoid concurrent remain-on-channel operation requests by canceling
	    previous operations prior to starting a new one
	  - reject operations that would require multi-channel concurrency if
	    the driver does not support it
	  - add parameter to select whether STA or P2P connection is preferred
	    if the driver cannot support both at the same time
	  - allow driver to indicate channel changes
	  - added optional delay=<search delay in milliseconds> parameter for
	    p2p_find to avoid taking all radio resources
	  - use 500 ms p2p_find search delay by default during concurrent
	    operations
	  - allow all channels in GO Negotiation if the driver supports
	    multi-channel concurrency
	* added number of small changes to make it easier for static analyzers
	  to understand the implementation
	* fixed number of small bugs (see git logs for more details)
	* nl80211: number of updates to use new cfg80211/nl80211 functionality
	  - replace monitor interface with nl80211 commands for AP mode
	  - additional information for driver-based AP SME
	  - STA entry authorization in RSN IBSS
	* EAP-pwd:
	  - fixed KDF for group 21 and zero-padding
	  - added support for fragmentation
	  - increased maximum number of hunting-and-pecking iterations
	* avoid excessive Probe Response retries for broadcast Probe Request
	  frames (only with drivers using wpa_supplicant AP mode SME/MLME)
	* added "GET country" ctrl_iface command
	* do not save an invalid network block in wpa_supplicant.conf to avoid
	  problems reading the file on next start
	* send STA connected/disconnected ctrl_iface events to both the P2P
	  group and parent interfaces
	* added preliminary support for using TLS v1.2 (CONFIG_TLSV12=y)
	* added "SET pno <1/0>" ctrl_iface command to start/stop preferred
	  network offload with sched_scan driver command
	* merged in number of changes from Android repository for P2P, nl80211,
	  and build parameters
	* changed P2P GO mode configuration to use driver capabilities to
	  automatically enable HT operations when supported
	* added "wpa_cli status wps" command to fetch WPA2-Personal passhrase
	  for WPS use cases in AP mode
	* EAP-AKA: keep pseudonym identity across EAP exchanges to match EAP-SIM
	  behavior
	* improved reassociation behavior in cases where association is rejected
	  or when an AP disconnects us to handle common load balancing
	  mechanisms
	  - try to avoid extra scans when the needed information is available
	* added optional "join" argument for p2p_prov_disc ctrl_iface command
	* added group ifname to P2P-PROV-DISC-* events
	* added P2P Device Address to AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event and use
	  p2p_dev_addr parameter name with AP-STA-CONNECTED
	* added workarounds for WPS PBC overlap detection for some P2P use cases
	  where deployed stations work incorrectly
	* optimize WPS connection speed by disconnecting prior to WPS scan and
	  by using single channel scans when AP channel is known
	* PCSC and SIM/USIM improvements:
	  - accept 0x67 (Wrong length) as a response to READ RECORD to fix
	    issues with some USIM cards
	  - try to read MNC length from SIM/USIM
	  - build realm according to 3GPP TS 23.003 with identity from the SIM
	  - allow T1 protocol to be enabled
	* added more WPS and P2P information available through D-Bus
	* improve P2P negotiation robustness
	  - extra waits to get ACK frames through
	  - longer timeouts for cases where deployed devices have been
	    identified have issues meeting the specification requirements
	  - more retries for some P2P frames
	  - handle race conditions in GO Negotiation start by both devices
	  - ignore unexpected GO Negotiation Response frame

	* AP: added a WPS workaround for mixed mode AP Settings with Windows 7
	* EAP-SIM: fixed AT_COUNTER_TOO_SMALL use
	* EAP-SIM/AKA: append realm to pseudonym identity
	* EAP-SIM/AKA: store pseudonym identity in network configuration to
	  allow it to persist over multiple EAP sessions and wpa_supplicant
	  restarts
	* EAP-AKA': updated to RFC 5448 (username prefixes changed); note: this
	  breaks interoperability with older versions
	* added support for WFA Hotspot 2.0
	  - GAS/ANQP to fetch network information
	  - credential configuration and automatic network selections based on
	    credential match with ANQP information
	* limited PMKSA cache entries to be used only with the network context
	  that was used to create them

	* SME: do not use reassociation after explicit disconnection request
	  (local or a notification from an AP)

	  compressed domain name format and support multiple Bonjour PTR matches
	  for the same key
	* use deauthentication instead of disassociation for all disconnection
	  operations; this removes the now unused disassociate() wpa_driver_ops
	  callback
	* optimized PSK generation on P2P GO by caching results to avoid
	  multiple PBKDF2 operations
	* added okc=1 global configuration parameter to allow OKC to be enabled

	  interop issues with deployed station implementations that do not
	  remove active PBC indication from Probe Request frames properly
	* added basic support for 60 GHz band
	* extend EAPOL frames processing workaround for roaming cases
	  (postpone processing of unexpected EAPOL frame until association
	  event to handle reordered events)
