      1 ChangeLog for hostapd
      2 
      3 2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
      4 	* fix WPS internal Registrar use when an external Registrar is also
      5 	  active
      6 	* bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
      7 	  configuration options
      8 	* TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
      9 	* EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
     10 	  interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
     11 	  compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
     12 	* cleaned up driver wrapper API for multi-BSS operations
     13 	* nl80211: fix multi-BSS and VLAN operations
     14 	* fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
     15 	  backwards compatible with old versions
     16 	* add SA Query Request processing in AP mode (IEEE 802.11w)
     17 	* fix IGTK PN in group rekeying (IEEE 802.11w)
     18 	* fix WPS PBC session overlap detection to use correct attribute
     19 	* hostapd_notif_Assoc() can now be called with all IEs to simplify
     20 	  driver wrappers
     21 	* work around interoperability issue with some WPS External Registrar
     22 	  implementations
     23 	* nl80211: fix WPS IE update
     24 	* hostapd_cli: add support for action script operations (run a script
     25 	  on hostapd events)
     26 	* fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
     27 	* fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
     28 	  driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)
     29 
     30 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
     31 	* cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
     32 	  is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
     33 	  will need modifications
     34 	* cleaned up various module interfaces
     35 	* merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
     36 	  single document
     37 	* fixed HT Capabilities IE with nl80211 drivers
     38 	* moved generic AP functionality code into src/ap
     39 	* WPS: handle Selected Registrar as union of info from all Registrars
     40 	* remove obsolte Prism54.org driver wrapper
     41 	* added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
     42 	  allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
     43 	* EAP-FAST server: piggyback Phase 2 start with the end of Phase 1
     44 	* WPS: add support for dynamically selecting whether to provision the
     45 	  PSK as an ASCII passphrase or PSK
     46 	* added support for WDS (4-address frame) mode with per-station virtual
     47 	  interfaces (wds_sta=1 in config file; only supported with
     48 	  driver=nl80211 for now)
     49 	* fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
     50 	  attribute
     51 	* fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
     52 	* detect bridge interface automatically so that bridge parameter in
     53 	  hostapd.conf becomes optional (though, it may now be used to
     54 	  automatically add then WLAN interface into a bridge with
     55 	  driver=nl80211)
     56 
     57 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
     58 	* increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
     59 	  configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
     60 	* driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
     61 	* added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
     62 	* 802.11n: scan for overlapping BSSes before starting 20/40 MHz channel
     63 	* driver_nl80211: fixed STA accounting data collection (TX/RX bytes
     64 	  reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)
     65 	* added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
     66 	  Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
     67 	* fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
     68 	  authentication server
     69 	* fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
     70 	* fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
     71 	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
     72 	* fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
     73 	  standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
     74 	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
     75 	* added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
     76 	  functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
     77 	  (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build
     78 	  options)
     79 	* use shared driver wrapper files with wpa_supplicant
     80 	* driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
     81 	  nl80211/mac80211 functionality
     82 	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
     83 	* fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
     84 	  interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
     85 	* added some IEEE 802.11n co-existance rules to disable 40 MHz channels
     86 	  or modify primary/secondary channels if needed based on neighboring
     87 	  networks
     88 	* added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
     89 	* added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
     90 
     91 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
     92 	* added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
     93 	  (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
     94 	  and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
     95 	  methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
     96 	  external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
     97 	  be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
     98 	  runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
     99 	  the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
    100 	  wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
    101 	  more details
    102 	* added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
    103 	* added support for generating Country IE based on nl80211 regulatory
    104 	  information (added if ieee80211d=1 in configuration)
    105 	* fixed WEP authentication (both Open System and Shared Key) with
    106 	  mac80211
    107 	* added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
    108 	* added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
    109 	* changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
    110 	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
    111 	* fixed retransmission of EAP requests if no response is received
    112 
    113 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
    114 	* added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
    115 	  enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
    116 	  TKIP deficiencies
    117 	* updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
    118 	  session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
    119 	  OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
    120 	  needed with that version anymore)
    121 	* changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
    122 	  the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
    123 	  using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
    124 	  information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
    125 	  channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
    126 	  regulatory domain)
    127 	* fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
    128 	  large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
    129 	  Ticket data is included)
    130 	* fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
    131 
    132 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
    133 	* added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
    134 	  internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
    135 	* fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
    136 	  identity lengths)
    137 	* fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
    138 	  by EAP-FAST server)
    139 	* added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
    140 	  (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
    141 	  configuration
    142 	* updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
    143 	  (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
    144 	  authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
    145 	* added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
    146 	  (IEEE 802.11w)
    147 	* added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
    148 	  (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
    149 	* fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
    150 	  is enabled in configuration
    151 	* changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
    152 	  A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
    153 	  16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
    154 	  implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
    155 	* driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
    156 	  configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
    157 	  starting from 2.6.29)
    158 
    159 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
    160 	* added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
    161 	  Identity Request if identity is already known
    162 	* added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
    163 	* added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
    164 	  (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
    165 	  changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
    166 	  and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
    167 	* added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
    168 	* added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
    169 	* added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)
    170 	  data
    171 	* added support for opportunistic key caching (OKC)
    172 
    173 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
    174 	* fixed Reassociation Response callback processing when using internal
    175 	  MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
    176 	* updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
    177 	* copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
    178 	  as a RADIUS authentication server
    179 	* fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
    180 	  received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
    181 	  could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
    182 	* fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
    183 	  be used
    184 	* added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
    185 	  termination in the username
    186 	* fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
    187 	  attribute in notification messages only when using fast
    188 	  reauthentication
    189 	* fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
    190 	  case
    191 	* added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
    192 	  phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
    193 
    194 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
    195 	* fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
    196 	  lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
    197 	* added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
    198 	  this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
    199 	  and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
    200 	  versions
    201 	* added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
    202 	  AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
    203 	* added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
    204 	  EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
    205 	* added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
    206 	  EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
    207 	  phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
    208 	  enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
    209 	  TTLS-MSCHAPV2
    210 	* removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
    211 	  parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
    212 	  -d (or -dd) command line arguments
    213 	* added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
    214 	  only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
    215 
    216 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
    217 	* added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
    218 	  needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
    219 	  setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
    220 	  .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
    221 	  have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
    222 	* added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
    223 	  server
    224 	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
    225 	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
    226 	* added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
    227 	  pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
    228 	  (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
    229 	  either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
    230 	  hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
    231 	  not have support for this)
    232 	* updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
    233 
    234 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
    235 	* added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
    236 	* updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
    237 	* updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
    238 	* fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
    239 	* fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
    240 	  by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
    241 	* fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
    242 	* fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
    243 	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
    244 	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
    245 	* hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
    246 	  entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
    247 	  (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
    248 	  provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
    249 	  if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
    250 	  instead of hardcoded triplet file)
    251 	* fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
    252 	  in Success Request [Bug 203]
    253 	* added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
    254 	* updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
    255 	  (still experimental)
    256 	* RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
    257 	  (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
    258 	  reply
    259 
    260 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
    261 	* added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
    262 	  radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
    263 	  available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
    264 	* fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
    265 	  pre-authentication
    266 	* added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
    267 	  for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
    268 	  VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
    269 	  currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
    270 	* driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
    271 	  and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
    272 	* removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
    273 	  IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
    274 	* updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
    275 	  draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
    276 	* added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
    277 	  frame protection)
    278 	  (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
    279 	  (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
    280 	* hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
    281 	* hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
    282 	  parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
    283 	  GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
    284 	  EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
    285 	* fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
    286 	  ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
    287 
    288 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
    289 	* added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
    290 	  hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
    291 	  external signal)
    292 	* fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
    293 	  using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
    294 	* added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
    295 	  id into a file
    296 	* added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
    297 
    298 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
    299 	* fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
    300 	* added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
    301 	  direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
    302 	* added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
    303 	  draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
    304 	* fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
    305 	  successfully [Bug 152]
    306 
    307 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
    308 	* do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
    309 	  requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
    310 	  build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
    311 	* added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
    312 	  set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
    313 	  implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
    314 	  [Bug 89]
    315 	* added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
    316 	  this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
    317 	* fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
    318 
    319 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
    320 	* fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
    321 	  logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
    322 	  vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
    323 	* moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
    324 	  program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
    325 	  eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
    326 	  triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
    327 	  to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
    328 	* added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
    329 	  local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
    330 	  hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
    331 	  and EAP-AKA
    332 	* added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
    333 	  to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
    334 	  disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
    335 	  to enable this)
    336 	* driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
    337 	  madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
    338 	  broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
    339 	* changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
    340 	  instead of a static list generated at build time
    341 	* fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
    342 	  [Bug 125]
    343 	* added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
    344 
    345 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
    346 	* driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
    347 	  a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
    348 	  the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
    349 	* added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
    350 
    351 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
    352 	* added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
    353 	  direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
    354 	  build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
    355 	  and stakey=1)
    356 	* added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
    357 	  by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
    358 	  is ready to continue
    359 	* improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
    360 	  HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
    361 	* added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
    362 	* added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
    363 	* added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
    364 	  user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
    365 	  for EAP-Nak negotiation
    366 	* added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
    367 	  of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
    368 	  authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
    369 	  tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
    370 
    371 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
    372 	* driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
    373 	  as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
    374 	  disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
    375 	  in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
    376 	  device at the time (common switch configuration)
    377 	* driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
    378 	  to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
    379 	  association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
    380 	* driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
    381 
    382 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
    383 	* added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
    384 	  User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
    385 	  for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
    386 	  tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
    387 	  does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
    388 	* driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
    389 	  ath# is part of a bridge interface
    390 	* added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
    391 	* fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
    392 	  transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
    393 	  condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
    394 	  two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
    395 
    396 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
    397 	* added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
    398 	  it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
    399 	* added experimental support for EAP-PSK
    400 	* added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
    401 
    402 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
    403 	* fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
    404 	* fixed FreeBSD build
    405 
    406 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
    407 	* fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
    408 	  RADIUS accounting gets correct information
    409 	* start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
    410 	  4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
    411 	* fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
    412 	  first disassociating
    413 
    414 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
    415 	* EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
    416 	* fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
    417 	* fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
    418 	* renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
    419 	  better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
    420 	* driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
    421 	  by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
    422 	  cards
    423 
    424 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
    425 	* fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
    426 	  is configured and the other one is left empty
    427 	* driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
    428 	* driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
    429 	  branch of madwifi CVS tree
    430 	* driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
    431 	  without disassociation
    432 	* added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
    433 	  and adding them to the certificate chain
    434 	* fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
    435 	  packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
    436 	  packets could have cleared Class attribute
    437 	* added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
    438 	* added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
    439 	  using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
    440 	  options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
    441 
    442 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
    443 	* added support for including network information into
    444 	  EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
    445 	  (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
    446 	* fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
    447 	  freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
    448 	* fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
    449 	* added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
    450 	  when receiving a TLS alert
    451 	* fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
    452 	  authenticator
    453 	* fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
    454 	  with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
    455 	* added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
    456 	  and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
    457 	  to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
    458 	  radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
    459 	  in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
    460 	* added experimental support for EAP-PAX
    461 	* replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
    462 	  the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
    463 
    464 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
    465 
    466 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
    467 	* added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
    468 	  Phase 1 identity
    469 	* fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
    470 	  to terminate authentication
    471 	* fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
    472 	  draft
    473 	* clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
    474 	  session
    475 	* driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
    476 	  than one network interface to be used
    477 	* fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
    478 	  setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
    479 	  incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
    480 	  invalid message 2/4 was received
    481 	* fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
    482 	  adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
    483 	  updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
    484 	  time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
    485 	  its first retry, too
    486 
    487 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
    488 	* added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
    489 	  authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
    490 	* fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
    491 	  (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
    492 
    493 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
    494 	* added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
    495 	* added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
    496 	* added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
    497 	  the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
    498 	  for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
    499 	* added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
    500 	* added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
    501 	* added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
    502 	  with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
    503 	  authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
    504 	  radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
    505 	  CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
    506 
    507 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
    508 	* removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
    509 	  been used at all for more than year
    510 	* driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
    511 	* added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
    512 
    513 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
    514 	* added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
    515 	  variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
    516 	  this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
    517 	  external RADIUS server
    518 	* added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
    519 	  PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
    520 
    521 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
    522 	* added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
    523 	* added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
    524 	* added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
    525 	* added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
    526 	* made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
    527 	* fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
    528 	* fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
    529 	  eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
    530 	  IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
    531 	* added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
    532 	  client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
    533 	  new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
    534 	  containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
    535 	* added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
    536 	  used with other drivers
    537 	* added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
    538 	  hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
    539 	* added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
    540 	  madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
    541 	  madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
    542 	  .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
    543 	  CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
    544 	  build)
    545 	* fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
    546 	  platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
    547 	  align variables)
    548 	* fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
    549 	  accounting packets
    550 	* added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
    551 	  CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
    552 	* started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
    553 	  'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
    554 	* finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
    555 	* added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
    556 	  hostapd.conf)
    557 	* updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
    558 	  (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
    559 	  IEEE 802.11F-2003)
    560 	* added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
    561 	  note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
    562 	  CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
    563 	  build)
    564 	* dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
    565 	* fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
    566 	  a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
    567 	* fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
    568 	  deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
    569 	  and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
    570 	  deauthenticating
    571 	* added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
    572 	  external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
    573 	  supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
    574 	  method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
    575 	  be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
    576 	  and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
    577 	  ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
    578 	* added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
    579 	  layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
    580 	  .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
    581 	  yet been committed
    582 
    583 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
    584 	* fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
    585 	  IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
    586 
    587 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
    588 	* modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
    589 	  error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
    590 	  changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
    591 	* fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
    592 	  twice causing a segfault for hostapd
    593 	* fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
    594 	  was used)
    595 
    596 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
    597 	* fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
    598 	* fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
    599 	  cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
    600 	* added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
    601 	  authentication messages into accounting messages
    602 	* send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
    603 	  EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
    604 	* fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
    605 	  not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
    606 
    607 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
    608 	* added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
    609 	  - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
    610 	    (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
    611 	  - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
    612 	  - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
    613 	  - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
    614 	  - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
    615 	    wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
    616 	    rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
    617 	* fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
    618 	  to the STA before sending a new one
    619 
    620 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
    621 	* added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
    622 	  - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
    623 	  - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
    624 	    'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
    625 	  - allow different update intervals for each STA
    626 	* fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
    627 	  the real signal handler
    628 	* reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
    629 	  that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
    630 	  STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
    631 	  before the timer is triggered).
    632 	* added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
    633 	  add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
    634 	  and accounting messages
    635 	* added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
    636 	* fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
    637 	  per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
    638 	  initialized properly
    639 	* fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
    640 	  previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
    641 	  802.1X data) was removed
    642 
    643 
    644 Note:
    645 
    646 Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
    647 of the Host AP driver.
    648
