Description Myk Taylor 2010-05-14 16:40:32 UTC

wpa_supplicant-0.7.2 is out.

Interesting lines from the changelog at http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=blob_plain;f=wpa_supplicant/ChangeLog:
wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
	  messages to reduce latency in showing these
	  (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
	  dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
	  the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
	  ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
	  configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
	  signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
	  scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
	  (this is currently only available with nl80211)


Reproducible: Always
