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

This release is the last development release from the 0.7.x branch. The
next release, 0.7.3, will be the start of stable 0.7.x releases.
Development will continue in the hostap.git repository and a new
hostap-07.git repository will be used for stable 0.7.x releases. The
goal for the future 0.7.x releases is to mainly integrate bug fixes
from hostap.git. All new features will be developed in the development
branch.

hostapd:
* fix WPS internal Registrar use when an external Registrar is also
  active
* bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
  configuration options
* TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
* EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
  interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
  compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
* cleaned up driver wrapper API for multi-BSS operations
* nl80211: fix multi-BSS and VLAN operations
* fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
  backwards compatible with old versions
* add SA Query Request processing in AP mode (IEEE 802.11w)
* fix IGTK PN in group rekeying (IEEE 802.11w)
* fix WPS PBC session overlap detection to use correct attribute
* hostapd_notif_Assoc() can now be called with all IEs to simplify
  driver wrappers
* work around interoperability issue with some WPS External Registrar
  implementations
* nl80211: fix WPS IE update
* hostapd_cli: add support for action script operations (run a script
  on hostapd events)
* fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
* fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
  driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)

wpa_supplicant:
* nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
* avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
  strength are present in scan results
* add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
  automatic detection of EAP parameters
* add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
  certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
* bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
  configuration options
* wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
  tray messages
* TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
* EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
  interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
  compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
* wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
  messages to reduce latency in showing these
  (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
* maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
* BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
  configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
* fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
  backwards compatible with old versions
* nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
  and over-the-DS)
* add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
  selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
* add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
  dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
  the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
  ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
  configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
  signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
  scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
  (this is currently only available with nl80211)
* add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
* wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
  linguist and add German translation
* fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
* do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
  enabled networks
