New versions of the Host AP driver, hostap-utils, hostapd, and
wpa_supplicant were just released and are now available from
http://hostap.epitest.fi/

This release is from the development (0.3.x) branch. Please note that
0.2.x branch continues to be the current source of stable releases.

Most of the changes are in wpa_supplicant which now has feature
complete support for WPA2 on Windows/cygwin. In addition, there are
number of small fixes for various parts of the code.


hostap-driver:
* added support for the special initialization needed for the
  wireless part of multi-function SanDisk ConnectPlus CF cards
  (manfid 0xd601, 0x0101)

hostap-utils:
* split_combined_hex: updated to use head/tail -n argument
  (tail +N did not work anymore)

hostapd:
* removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
  been used at all for more than year
* driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
* added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator

wpa_supplicant:
* fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
* fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
* added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
* improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
* driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  running)
* driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
* added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  the interface name
* added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  file
* driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  when exiting
* modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  information
* added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
* driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
* added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  authentication
* fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  unicast key)
* driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  drivers
* added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
