466 Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
467 available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
468 Disassoc frames (nl80211).
469 * Drop oldest unknown BSS table entries first. This makes it less
470 likely to hit connection issues in environments with huge number
471 of visible APs.
472 * Add systemd support.
473 * Add support for setting the syslog facility from the config file
474 at build time.
475 * atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
476 * AP mode: Allow enable HT20 if driver supports it, by setting the
477 config parameter ieee80211n.
478 * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
479 the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
480 going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
481 config option disassoc_low_ack.
482 * nl80211:
483 - Support GTK rekey offload.
484 - Support PMKSA candidate events. This adds support for RSN
485 pre-authentication with nl80211 interface and drivers that handle
486 roaming internally.
487 * dbus:
488 - Add a DBus signal for EAP SM requests, emitted on the Interface
489 object.
490 - Export max scan ssids supported by the driver as MaxScanSSID.
491 - Add signal Certification for information about server certification.
492 - Add BSSExpireAge and BSSExpireCount interface properties and
493 support set/get, which allows for setting BSS cache expiration age
494 and expiration scan count.
495 - Add ConfigFile to AddInterface properties.
496 - Add Interface.Country property and support to get/set the value.
497 - Add DBus property CurrentAuthMode.
498 - P2P DBus API added.
499 - Emit property changed events (for property BSSs) when adding/
500 removing BSSs.
501 - Treat '' in SSIDs of Interface.Scan as a request for broadcast
502 scan, instead of ignoring it.
503 - Add DBus getter/setter for FastReauth.
504 - Raise PropertiesChanged on org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.
505 * wpa_cli:
506 - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
507 due to inactivity.
508 - Make second argument to set command optional. This can be used to
509 indicate a zero length value.
510 - Add signal_poll command.
511 - Add bss_expire_age and bss_expire_count commands to set/get BSS
512 cache expiration age and expiration scan count.
513 - Add ability to set scan interval (the time in seconds wpa_s waits
514 before requesting a new scan after failing to find a suitable
515 network in scan results) using scan_interval command.
516 - Add event CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT for association rejected.
517 - Add command get version, that returns wpa_supplicant version string.
518 - Add command sta_autoconnect for disabling automatic reconnection
519 on receiving disconnection event.
520 - Setting bssid parameter to an empty string "" or any can now be
521 used to clear the bssid_set flag in a network block, i.e., to remove
522 bssid filtering.
523 - Add tdls_testing command to add a special testing feature for
524 changing TDLS behavior. Build param CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING must be
525 enabled as well.
526 - For interworking, add wpa_cli commands interworking_select,
527 interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp, and stop_fetch_anqp.
528 - Many P2P commands were added. See README-P2P.
529 - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
530 - Allow set command to change global config parameters.
531 - Add log_level command, which can be used to display the current
532 debugging level and to change the log level during run time.
533 - Add note command, which can be used to insert notes to the debug
534 log.
535 - Add internal line edit implementation. CONFIG_WPA_CLI_EDIT=y
536 can now be used to build wpa_cli with internal implementation of
537 line editing and history support. This can be used as a replacement
538 for CONFIG_READLINE=y.
539 * AP mode: Add max_num_sta config option, which can be used to limit
540 the number of stations allowed to connect to the AP.
541 * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
542 config file.
543 * wext: Increase scan timeout from 5 to 10 seconds.
544 * Add blacklist command, allowing an external program to
545 manage the BSS blacklist and display its current contents.
546 * WPS:
547 - Add wpa_cli wps_pin get command for generating random PINs. This can
548 be used in a UI to generate a PIN without starting WPS (or P2P)
549 operation.
550 - Set RF bands based on driver capabilities, instead of hardcoding
551 them.
552 - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
553 - Add CONFIG_WPS_REG_DISABLE_OPEN=y option to disable open networks
554 by default.
555 - Add wps_ap_pin cli command for wpa_supplicant AP mode.
556 - Add wps_check_pin cli command for processing PIN from user input.
557 UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
558 validate the checksum digit (if present).
559 - Cancel WPS operation on PBC session overlap detection.
560 - New wps_cancel command in wpa_cli will cancel a pending WPS
561 operation.
562 - wpa_cli action: Add WPS_EVENT_SUCCESS and WPS_EVENT_FAIL handlers.
563 - Trigger WPS config update on Manufacturer, Model Name, Model
564 Number, and Serial Number changes.
565 - Fragment size is now configurable for EAP-WSC peer. Use
566 wpa_cli set wps_fragment_size <val>.
567 - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks on
568 failures up to 10.
569 - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing, to
570 be compatible with Windows 7.
571 - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the
572 user on how to resolve the issue.
573 - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled
574 at the same time, since it is unclear which PIN to use if both
575 methods are advertised.
576 - When controlling multiple interfaces:
577 - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
578 - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
579 - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
580 all interfaces
581 * WPS ER:
582 - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
583 ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
584 WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
585 - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events
586 - Add wps_er_set_config to enroll a network based on a local
587 network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the
588 current AP settings with wps_er_learn.
589 - Allow AP filtering based on IP address, add ctrl_iface event for
590 learned AP settings, add wps_er_config command to configure an AP.
591 * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
592 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
593 for testing protocol extensibility.
594 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
595 workarounds.
596 - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
597 * TDLS:
598 - Propogate TDLS related nl80211 capability flags from kernel and
599 add them as driver capability flags. If the driver doesn't support
600 capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is
601 explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations.
602 - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing).
603 Use set tdls_disabled.
604 - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS.
605 - Add a special testing feature for changing TDLS behavior. Use
606 CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING build param to enable. Configure at runtime
607 with tdls_testing cli command.
608 - Add support for TDLS 802.11z.
609 * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
610 wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
611 for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
612 * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
613 CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See wpa_supplicant.conf for config parameters
614 for interworking. wpa_cli commands added to support this are
615 interworking_select, interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp,
616 and stop_fetch_anqp.
617 * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android wpa_supplicant.
618 * bgscan learn: Add new bgscan that learns BSS information based on
619 previous scans, and uses that information to dynamically generate
620 the list of channels for background scans.
621 * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
622 -ddd to enable.
623 * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
624 * Internal TLS:
625 - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
626 CONFIG_TLSV11.
627 - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names.
628 * Linux: Add RFKill support by adding an interface state "disabled".
629 * Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
630 WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
631 Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
632 * Solaris: Add support for wired 802.1X client.

be48214d
JM
6362010-04-18 - v0.7.2
637 * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
638 * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
639 strength are present in scan results
640 * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
641 automatic detection of EAP parameters
642 * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
643 certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
644 * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
645 configuration options
646 * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
647 tray messages
648 * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
649 * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
650 interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
651 compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
652 * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
653 messages to reduce latency in showing these
654 (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
655 * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
656 * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
657 configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
658 * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
659 backwards compatible with old versions
660 * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
661 and over-the-DS)
662 * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
663 selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
664 * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
665 dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
666 the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
667 ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
668 configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
669 signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
670 scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
671 (this is currently only available with nl80211)
672 * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
673 * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
674 linguist and add German translation
675 * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
676 * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
677 enabled networks
678
dff0f701
JM
6792010-01-16 - v0.7.1
680 * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
681 is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
682 will need modifications
683 * cleaned up various module interfaces
684 * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
685 single document
686 * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
687 avoid issues when roaming between APs
688 * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
689 (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
690 * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
691 * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
692 allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
693 * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
694 receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
695 * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
696 wrapper
697 * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
698 over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
699 * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
700 the dialog is kept open
701 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
702 * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
703 unnecessary scans and to speed up association
704
224f7bda 7052009-11-21 - v0.7.0
1cc84c1c
JM
706 * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
707 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
42f1ee7d
JM
708 * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
709 byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
362f781e
JM
710 * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
711 (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
712 interface will be used
6a1063e0
JM
713 * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
714 scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
715 SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
716 with nl80211
f4c617ee
JM
717 * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
718 Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
c472ef75
JM
719 * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
720 fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
4cb0dcd9
JM
721 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
722 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
c2a04078
JM
723 * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
724 and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
725 nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
726 to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
c0a61908
JM
727 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
728 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
729 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
56360b16
JM
730 * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
731 * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
732 block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
733 (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
734 into wpa_supplicant
735 * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
736 (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
737 * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
738 and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
739 and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
740 wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
741 (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
742 wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
743 * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
744 nl80211/mac80211 functionality
745 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
746 * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
747 interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
748 * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
749 * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
750 address frames
751 * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
752 * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
753 (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
754 up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
755 subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
756 supported only with -Dnl80211)
757 * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
758 association event and the following EAPOL-Key
759 * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
760 network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
761 an ESS (same SSID)
762 * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
1cc84c1c 763
6f78f2fb 7642009-01-06 - v0.6.7
30f5c941
JM
765 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
766 (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
767 enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
768 addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
769 configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
770 into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
771 wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
772 file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
773 manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
a9d1364c 774 * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
e33bbd8f 775 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
f4f2774a
JM
776 * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
777 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
c3ece504 778 * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
a2b3a34b 779 * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
c674a55d
JM
780 * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
781 DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
782 will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
783 servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
cae93bdc 784 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
a9d1364c 785
6e89cc43 7862008-11-23 - v0.6.6
81eec387
JM
787 * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
788 (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
789 enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
790 and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
581a8cde
JM
791 * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
792 used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
793 against TKIP deficiencies
46690a3b
JM
794 * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
795 TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
796 between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
797 CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
fa71a1d8
JM
798 * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
799 not bytes
0cf03892
JM
800 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
801 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
802 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
803 needed with that version anymore)
cd35db9f
JM
804 * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
805 mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
806 with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
e519314e
JW
807 * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
808 consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
1ac2d4a9
JM
809 * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
810 RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
811 about
2a24bb31 812
988ab690 8132008-11-01 - v0.6.5

830 allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
1b52ea47 831 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
d952d16d
JM
832 * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
833 internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
834 encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
b95394c6
JM
835 * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
836 LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
837 calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
3e2ad1b9
JM
838 * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
839 handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]

7914585f 841
6fc6879b
JM
8422008-02-22 - v0.6.3
843 * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
844 previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
845 EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
846 replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
847 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
848 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
849 replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
850 present random binary data)
851 * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
852 if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
853 external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
854 when an interface is added
855 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
856 * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
857 indicating when new scan results become available
858 * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
859 fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
860 can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
861 * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
862 attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
863 * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
864 WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
865 * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
866
8672008-01-01 - v0.6.2
868 * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
869 functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
870 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
871 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
872 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
873 this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
874 changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
875 versions
876 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
877 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
878 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
879 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
880 * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
881 association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
882 channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
883 using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
884 notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
885 e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
886 loop where the driver did not even try to associate
887 * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
888 power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
889 [Bug 237]
890 * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
891 wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
892 non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
893 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
894 in .config
895 * changed scan results data structure to include all information
896 elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
897 driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
898 are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
899 start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
900 work with new features
901 * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
902 application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
903 binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
904 QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
905 * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
906 available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
907 http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
908 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
909 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
910
9112007-11-24 - v0.6.1
912 * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
913 (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
914 * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
915 full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
916 PAC-Opaque)
917 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
918 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
919 * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
920 internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
921 WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
922 * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
923 .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
924 driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
925 * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
926 driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
927 [Bug 232]
928 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
929 * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
930 (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
931 buffer read overflow
932 * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
933 monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
934 be lost
935 * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
936 recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
937
9382007-05-28 - v0.6.0
939 * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
940 initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
941 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
942 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
943 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
944 * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
945 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
946 * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
947 tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
948 method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
949 different)
950 * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
951 of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
952 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
953 * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
954 generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
955 for PAC provisioning)
956 * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
957 * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
958 store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
959 * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
960 (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
961 * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
962 dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
963 * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
964 * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
965 added support for EAP-FAST
966 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
967 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
968 * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
969 processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
970 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
971 (still experimental)
972 * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
973 if TLS library initialization fails
974 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
975 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
976 needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
977 IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
978
9792006-11-24 - v0.5.6
980 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
981 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
982 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
983 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
984 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
985 (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
986 x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
987 of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
988 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
989 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
990 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
991 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
992 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
993 frame protection)
994 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
995 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
996 * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
997 commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
998 immediately without sending a command
999 * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
1000 needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
1001 use PIN)
1002 * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
1003 be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
1004 partial AID
1005 * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
1006 server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
1007 altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
1008 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
1009 affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
1010 * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
1011 return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
1012 will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
1013 parameter is not exposed
1014
10152006-08-27 - v0.5.5
1016 * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
1017 (wide-char functions)
1018 * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
1019 issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
1020 keys
1021 * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
1022 avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
1023 * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
1024 (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
1025 * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
1026 return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
1027 will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
1028 when determining whether there are pending messages
1029 * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
1030 Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
1031 control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
1032 localhost was used)
1033 * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
1034 - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
1035 future versions)
1036 - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
1037 in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
1038 - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
1039 case when group is not changed
1040 * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
1041 Windows version
1042 * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
1043 (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
1044 EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
1045 destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
1046 used even if the source address does not match with it
1047 (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
1048 * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
1049 Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
1050 addresses from being accepted as local control requests
1051 * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
1052 ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
1053 there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
1054 implementation
1055 * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
1056 learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
1057 should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
1058 correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
1059 USB) [Bug 113]
1060 * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
1061 wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
1062 network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
1063 * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
1064 registry (ctrl_interface string value in
1065 HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
1066 required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
1067 to be enabled)
1068 * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
1069 * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
1070
10712006-06-20 - v0.5.4
1072 * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
1073 * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
1074 processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
1075 stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
1076 * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
1077 configure the maximum EAP fragment size
1078 * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
1079 avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
1080 will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
1081 is terminated
1082 * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
1083 (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
1084 library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
1085 not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
1086 basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
1087 included)
1088 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
1089 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
1090 * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
1091 PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
1092 a raw PSK (hex string)
1093 * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
1094 was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
1095 WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
1096 variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
1097 set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
1098 automatically for the network and that can be used with
1099 GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
1100 * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
1101 status changes or when associating with a different network
1102 * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
1103 if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
1104 * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
1105 to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
1106 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
1107 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
1108 * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
1109 build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
1110 * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
1111 * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
1112 at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
1113 a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
1114 handle
1115 * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
1116 * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
1117 WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
1118 * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
1119 OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
1120 l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
1121 wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
1122 requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
1123 only one application to open the device
1124 * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
1125 {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
1126 specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
1127 allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
1128 when specifying the interface
1129 * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
1130 and re-inserted [Bug 159]
1131 * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
1132 big endian hosts [Bug 146]
1133
11342006-04-27 - v0.5.3
1135 * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
1136 phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
1137 * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
1138 networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
1139 refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
1140 * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
1141 formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
1142 do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
1143 * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
1144 in Windows registry
1145 * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
1146 Windows registry
1147 * added support for controlling network device operational state
1148 (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
1149 http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
1150 that can use this information)
1151 * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
1152 * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
1153 [Bug 140]
1154 * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
1155 primitive
1156 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
1157 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
1158 * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
1159 of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
1160 default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
1161 on how to use this)
1162
11632006-03-19 - v0.5.2
1164 * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
1165 access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
1166 * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
1167 v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
1168 * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
1169 * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
1170 starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
1171 a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
1172 * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
1173 interface (-bbr0 on command line)
1174 * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
1175 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
1176 instead of a static list generated at build time
1177 * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
1178 removing PMKSA entries
1179 * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
1180 * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
1181 WPA/RSN IE
1182 * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
1183 if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
1184
11852006-01-29 - v0.5.1
1186 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
1187 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
1188 the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
1189 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
1190 * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
1191 option can be changed if needed
1192 * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
1193 using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
1194 interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
1195 use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
1196 recommended)
1197 * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
1198 to disable TLS library for normal authentication
1199 * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
1200 used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
1201 wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
1202 would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
1203 not likely to happen in real use.
1204 * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
1205 current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
1206 * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
1207 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
1208 ap_scan=2)
1209
12102005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
1211 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
1212 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
1213 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
1214 and stakey=1)
1215 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
1216 decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
1217 * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
1218 * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
1219 other C libraries and compilers
1220 * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
1221 wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
1222 code more portable
1223 * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
1224 (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
1225 C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
1226 example makefile for nmake
1227 * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
1228 (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
1229 (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
1230 contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
1231 normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
1232 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
1233 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
1234 unregister a service
1235 * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
1236 wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
1237 * added better support for multiple control interface backends
1238 (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
1239 * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
1240 and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
1241 causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
1242 refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
1243 EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
1244 * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
1245 WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
1246 for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
1247 CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
1248 * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
1249 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
1250 winpcap, freebsd, none)
1251 * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
1252 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
1253 reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
1254 3 ms
1255 * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
1256 RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
1257 * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
1258 configuration blob
1259 * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
1260 support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
1261 * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
1262 session resumption
1263 * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
1264 certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
1265 likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
1266 * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
1267 with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
1268 easily on cross-compilation builds
1269 * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
1270 version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
1271 Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
1272 Windows service
1273 * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
1274 wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
1275 release since it is not needed anymore
1276 * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
1277 since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
1278
12792005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
1280 * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
1281 and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
1282 * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
1283 in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
1284 * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
1285 avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
1286 during handshake
1287 * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
1288 (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
1289 * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
1290 for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
1291 would get
1292 * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
1293 cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
1294 * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
1295 cannot be parsed successfully
1296 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
1297 * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
1298 * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
1299 * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
1300 * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
1301 the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
1302 * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
1303 drivers that may take more than five second to associate
1304
13052005-10-27 - v0.4.6
1306 * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
1307 RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
1308 * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
1309 to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
1310 variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
1311 use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
1312 private_key
1313 * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
1314 state machine interface in v0.4.5)
1315 * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
1316 sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
1317 * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
1318 to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
1319 system-wide trusted CA list
1320 * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
1321 file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
1322 this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
1323 driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
1324 configuration to override the values from the configuration)
1325 * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
1326 and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
1327 for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
1328 wpa_supplicant process
1329 * wpa_gui:
1330 - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
1331 - added WEP key configuration
1332 - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
1333 * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
1334 received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
1335 * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
1336 * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
1337 avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
1338 * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
1339 authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
1340 EAP authentication immediately after association
1341
13422005-09-25 - v0.4.5
1343 * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
1344 roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
1345 * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
1346 generate, e.g., man pages
1347 * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
1348 PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
1349 Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
1350 * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
1351 for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
1352 frame
1353 * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
1354 layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
1355 header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
1356 to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
1357 Ethernet
1358 * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
1359 tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
1360 server_nai configuration option from network blocks
1361 * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
1362 to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
1363 these multicast addresses by default
1364 * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
1365 * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
1366 option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
1367 in wpa_supplicant.conf)
1368 * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
1369 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
1370 update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
1371 and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
1372 * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
1373 (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
1374
13752005-08-21 - v0.4.4
1376 * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
1377 (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
1378 patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
1379 OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
1380 to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
1381 * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
1382 for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
1383 (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
1384 this with private_key)
1385 * ported wpa_gui to Windows
1386 * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
1387 built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
1388 * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
1389 with drivers that do not support WPA
1390 * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
1391 * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
1392 configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
1393 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
1394 * added support for adding and removing network from the current
1395 configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
1396 <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
1397 be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
1398 for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
1399 these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
1400 * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
1401 the control interface, for example:
1402 wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
1403 * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
1404 quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
1405 * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
1406 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
1407 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
1408 (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
1409 PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
1410 doing this for PEAPv0, too)
1411 * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
1412 wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
1413 open network configuration)
1414
14152005-06-26 - v0.4.3
1416 * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
1417 Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
1418 anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
1419 * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
1420 * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
1421 * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
1422 (l2_packet_*.c)
1423
14242005-06-12 - v0.4.2
1425 * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
1426 (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
1427 this)
1428 * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
1429 wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
1430 driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
1431 networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
1432 and the network block order in the file is used instead
1433 * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
1434 freed memory if pre-authentication times out
1435 * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
1436 authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
1437 altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
1438 * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
1439 NDIS drivers
1440 * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
1441 control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
1442 configuration file
1443 * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
1444 processing
1445 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
1446 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
1447 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
1448 * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
1449 entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
1450 the key in this case
1451 * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
1452 configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
1453 driver_ops function set_param()
1454 * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
1455 API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
1456 specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
1457 * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
1458 entered as a number, not group name
1459 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
1460 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
1461 cards
1462
14632005-05-22 - v0.4.1
1464 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
1465 packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
1466 ioctl order in v0.4.0
1467 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
1468 branch of madwifi CVS tree
1469 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
1470 authentication session
1471 * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
1472 password has expired)
1473 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
1474 and adding them to the certificate chain
1475 * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
1476 were used
1477 * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
1478 identity or password is entered through control interface
1479 * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
1480 with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
1481 * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
1482 automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
1483 Qt development tools)
1484 * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
1485 wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
1486 'reassociate' command has been used
1487 * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
1488 networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
1489 other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
1490 * added support for getting scan results through control interface
1491 * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
1492 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
1493 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
1494
14952005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
1496 * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
1497 used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
1498 debugging code is not needed
1499 * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
1500 Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
1501 overflow
1502 * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
1503 Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
1504 * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
1505 replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
1506 (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
1507 but they may be removed in the future)
1508 * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
1509 * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
1510 Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
1511 interoperate with some authentication servers
1512 * added support for sending TLS alerts
1513 * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
1514 is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
1515 * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
1516 wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
1517 file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
1518 delayed until the PIN is available
1519 * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
1520 private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
1521 new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
1522 - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
1523 - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
1524 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
1525 * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
1526 allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
1527 wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
1528 and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
1529 -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
1530 command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
1531 control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
1532 events
1533 * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
1534 default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
1535 * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
1536 Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
1537 using assoc_info events
1538 * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
1539 process id into a file
1540
15412005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
1542 * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
1543 wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
1544 even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
1545 authentication servers
1546 * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
1547 using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
1548 ap_scan=2)
1549 * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
1550 identity/password/otp
1551 * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
1552 EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
1553 * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
1554 mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
1555 * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
1556 ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
1557 configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
1558
15592005-01-24 - v0.3.6
1560 * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
1561 when no matching AP is found
1562
15632005-01-23 - v0.3.5
1564 * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
1565 when using WPA2-PSK
1566 * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
1567 WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
1568 retransmission of dropped frames)
1569 * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
1570 (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
1571 * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
1572 RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
1573 pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
1574 requires EAP workarounds
1575 * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
1576 authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
1577 where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
1578 * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
1579 authentication attempt
1580 * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
1581 in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
1582 verified)
1583
15842005-01-09 - v0.3.4
1585 * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
1586 (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
1587 WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
1588 key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
1589 example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
1590 only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
1591 in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
1592 supports WPA-None)
1593 * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
1594 mingw
1595
15962005-01-02 - v0.3.3
1597 * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
1598 wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
1599 * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
1600 small problems with error case processing not terminating on
1601 EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
1602 * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
1603 Cisco AP when using WPA2
1604 * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
1605 Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
1606 extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
1607 certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
1608 included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
1609
16102004-12-19 - v0.3.2
1611 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
1612 * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
1613 could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
1614 * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
1615 (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
1616 but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
1617 ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
1618 * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
1619 authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
1620 * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
1621 (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
1622 running)
1623 * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
1624 * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
1625 based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
1626 this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
1627 the interface name
1628 * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
1629 file
1630 * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
1631 when exiting
1632 * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
1633 clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
1634 problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
1635 machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
1636 information
1637 * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
1638 allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
1639 * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
1640 function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
1641 * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
1642 interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
1643 authentication
1644 * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
1645 all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
1646 unicast key)
1647 * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
1648 drivers
1649 * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
1650 dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
1651
16522004-12-12 - v0.3.1
1653 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
1654 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
1655 * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
1656 * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
1657 association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
1658 e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
1659 drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
1660 ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
1661 file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
1662 policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
1663 group, proto variables
1664 * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
1665 - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
1666 - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
1667 - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
1668 * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
1669 CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
1670 * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
1671 (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
1672 * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
1673 easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
1674 the association
1675
16762004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
1677 * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
1678 (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
1679 * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
1680 * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
1681 ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
1682 actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
1683 interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
1684 * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
1685 EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
1686 peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
1687 (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
1688 reply
1689 * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
1690 the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
1691 but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
1692 label which is thus more suitable default option
1693 * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
1694 * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
1695 * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
1696 (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
1697 * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
1698 (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
1699 WEP keys)
1700 * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
1701 * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
1702 random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
1703 * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
1704 * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
1705 session resumption)
1706 * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
1707 (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
1708 * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
1709 key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
1710 dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
1711 and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
1712 * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
1713 certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
1714 configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
1715 * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
1716 interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
1717 drivers expect this
1718 * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
1719 connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
1720 * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
1721 * added support for LEAP with WPA
1722 * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
1723 data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
1724 v17 or newer
1725 * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
1726 only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
1727 * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
1728 must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
1729 forever
1730 * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
1731 default; all key information can be included with -K command line
1732 argument to match the previous behavior
1733 * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
1734 default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
1735 * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
1736 if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
1737 with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
1738 bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
1739 * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
1740 key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
1741 handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
1742 of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
1743 association
1744 * changed driver interface API:
1745 - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
1746 version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
1747 not defined)
1748 - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
1749 - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
1750 interfaces has been converted to the new API
1751 * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
1752 wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
1753 command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
1754 (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
1755 * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
1756 sequential EAP packets
1757 * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
1758 CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
1759 * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
1760 verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
1761 reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
1762 Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
1763 configuration
1764 * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
1765 IEs than just one WPA IE
1766 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
1767 layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
1768 required kernel mods have not yet been committed
1769 * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
1770 disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
1771
17722004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
1773 * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
1774 Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
1775 * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
1776 AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
1777 for the broadcast key
1778 * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
1779 re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
1780 WPA
1781 * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
1782 driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
1783 currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
1784 eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
1785 Linux wireless extensions get support for this
1786 * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
1787 scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
1788 enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
1789 this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
1790 use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
1791 supporting wireless extensions.
1792 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
1793 operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
1794 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
1795 EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
1796 * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
1797 wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
1798 but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
1799 a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
1800 password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
1801 * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
1802 does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
1803 started again
1804 * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
1805 frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
1806 information so that full authentication does not need to be
1807 restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
1808 frontend is attached
1809 * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
1810 make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
1811 and to provide access control for the control interface;
1812 wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
1813 (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
1814 ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
1815 the control interface;
1816 wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
1817 in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
1818 and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
1819 cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
1820 * added support for LEAP
1821 * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
1822 * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
1823 this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
1824 results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
1825
18262004-06-20 - v0.2.3
1827 * sort scan results to improve AP selection
1828 * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
1829 * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
1830 * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
1831 TLS processing
1832 * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
1833 (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
1834 both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
1835 automatically)
1836 * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
1837 * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
1838 WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
1839 the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
1840 from the station)
1841 * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
1842 EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
1843 * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
1844 * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
1845 does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
1846 EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
1847 * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
1848 (key_mgmt=NONE)
1849
18502004-05-31 - v0.2.2
1851 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
1852 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
1853 EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
1854 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
1855 EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
1856 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
1857 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
1858 EAP-TTLS/PAP
1859 EAP-TTLS/CHAP
1860 EAP-PEAP/TLS
1861 EAP-PEAP/GTC
1862 EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
1863 EAP-GTC
1864 EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
1865 * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
1866 sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
1867 tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
1868 * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
1869 * added support for requesting identity and password information using
1870 control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
1871 EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
1872 a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
1873 * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
1874 all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
1875 * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
1876 * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
1877 * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
1878 * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
1879 with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
1880 library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
1881 anyway for TLS)
1882 * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
1883 (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
1884
18852004-05-06 - v0.2.1
1886 * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
1887 Supplicant
1888 - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
1889 - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
1890 - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
1891 [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
1892 - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
1893 - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
1894 - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
1895 [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
1896 (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
1897 default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
1898 - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
1899 client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
1900 - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
1901 disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
1902 option
1903 - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
1904 be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
1905 - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
1906 * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
1907 * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
1908 (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
1909 EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
1910 * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
1911 - improved PTK Key Handshake
1912 - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
1913 * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
1914 EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
1915 TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
1916 includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
1917 * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
1918 wpa_supplicant
1919 - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
1920 mode
1921 - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
1922 * made some feature compile time configurable
1923 - .config file for make
1924 - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
1925 - EAPOL/EAP functions
1926
19272004-02-15 - v0.2.0
1928 * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
