hostapd/wpa_supplicant - new stable release v0.6.8

New versions of wpa_supplicant and hostapd were just
released and are now available from http://w1.fi/

This release moves 0.6.x branch from development to stable status. In
other words, from now on, 0.6.x versions are the latest available
stable releases. 0.5.x branch continues to be supported, but it is
moving more towards only including critical fixes. 0.4.x and 0.3.x
branches have reached end-of-life and no new releases are expected
from those branches. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 0.5.11
or 0.6.8 if they are still using 0.3.x or 0.4.x versions.

0.6.x development is in its own Git tree (hostap-06.git) and hostap.git
continues to be the place for main development and for eventual 0.7.x
releases.

Below are the change logs from 0.6.7. More detailed lists of changes
in older 0.6.x versions are included in the ChangeLog files in the
source code packages.

hostapd:
* increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
* driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
* added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)

wpa_supplicant:
* increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
* fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
