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

    	  implementations that can change SNonce for each EAP-Key 2/4
    	* added a workaround for EAPOL-Key 4/4 using incorrect type value in
    	  WPA2 mode (some deployed stations use WPA type in that message)
    	* added a WPS workaround for mixed mode AP Settings with Windows 7

    	* removed default ACM=1 from AC_VO and AC_VI
    	* changed VENDOR-TEST EAP method to use proper private enterprise number
    	  (this will not interoperate with older versions)
    	* added hostapd.conf parameter vendor_elements to allow arbitrary vendor
    	  specific elements to be added to the Beacon and Probe Response frames
    	* added support for configuring GCMP cipher for IEEE 802.11ad
    	* added support for 256-bit AES with internal TLS implementation
    	* changed EAPOL transmission to use AC_VO if WMM is active
    	* fixed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS/FAST server to validate TLS Message Length
    	  correctly; invalid messages could have caused the hostapd process to

    2012-05-10 - v1.0
    	* Add channel selection support in hostapd. See hostapd.conf.
    	* Add support for IEEE 802.11v Time Advertisement mechanism with UTC
    	  TSF offset. See hostapd.conf for config info.
    	* Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
    	  This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
    	  Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
    	  available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
    	  Disassoc frames (nl80211).
    	* Allow PMKSA caching to be disabled on the Authenticator. See
    	  hostap.conf config parameter disable_pmksa_caching.
    	* atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
    	* bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
    	* Allow client isolation to be configured with ap_isolate. Client
    	  isolation can be used to prevent low-level bridging of frames
    	  between associated stations in the BSS. By default, this bridging
    	  is allowed.
    	* Allow coexistance of HT BSSes with WEP/TKIP BSSes.
    	* Add require_ht config parameter, which can be used to configure
    	  hostapd to reject association with any station that does not support
    	  HT PHY.
    	* Add support for writing debug log to a file using "-f" option. Also
    	  add relog CLI command to re-open the log file.
    	* Add bridge handling for WDS STA interfaces. By default they are
    	  added to the configured bridge of the AP interface (if present),
    	  but the user can also specify a separate bridge using cli command
    	  wds_bridge.
    	* hostapd_cli:
    	  - Add wds_bridge command for specifying bridge for WDS STA
    	    interfaces.
    	  - Add relog command for reopening log file.
    	  - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
    	    due to inactivity.
    	  - Add wps_config ctrl_interface command for configuring AP. This
    	    command can be used to configure the AP using the internal WPS
    	    registrar. It works in the same way as new AP settings received
    	    from an ER.
    	  - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
    	  - Add command get version, that returns hostapd version string.
    	* WNM: Add BSS Transition Management Request for ESS Disassoc Imminent.
    	  Use hostapd_cli ess_disassoc (STA addr) (URL) to send the
    	  notification to the STA.
    	* Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
    	  the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
    	  going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
    	  config option disassoc_low_ack.
    	* Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
    	  config file.
    	* WPS:
    	  - Send AP Settings as a wrapped Credential attribute to ctrl_iface
    	    in WPS-NEW-AP-SETTINGS.
    	  - Dispatch more WPS events through hostapd ctrl_iface.
    	  - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
    	  - Change concurrent radio AP to use only one WPS UPnP instance.
    	  - Add wps_check_pin command for processing PIN from user input.
    	    UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
    	    validate the checksum digit (if present).
    	  - Add hostap_cli get_config command to display current AP config.
    	  - Add new hostapd_cli command, wps_ap_pin, to manage AP PIN at
    	    runtime and support dynamic AP PIN management.
    	  - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks
    	    on failures up to 10.
    	  - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing,
    	    to be compatible with Windows 7.
    	  - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info
    	    to the user on how to resolve the issue.
    	  - When controlling multiple interfaces:
    	     - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
    	     - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
    	     - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
    	       all interfaces
    	* WPS ER:
    	  - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events.
    	  - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
    	    ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
    	    WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
    	* WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
    	  - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
    	    for testing protocol extensibility.
    	  - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
    	    workarounds.
    	  - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
    	* TDLS:
    	  - Allow TDLS use or TDLS channel switching in the BSS to be
    	    prohibited in the BSS, using config params tdls_prohibit and
    	    tdls_prohibit_chan_switch.
    	* EAP server: Add support for configuring fragment size (see
    	  fragment_size in hostapd.conf).
    	* wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
    	  wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
    	  for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
    	* Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
    	  CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See hostapd.conf for config parameters for
    	  interworking.
    	* Android: Add build and runtime support for Android hostapd.
    	* Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
    	  -ddd to enable.
    	* TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
    	* Internal TLS:
    	  - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
    	    CONFIG_TLSV11.
    	  - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names
    	* Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
    	  WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
    	  Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
    	* Many bugfixes.
