13. By Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <email address hidden> on 2011-12-20

* add myself to uploaders.
* add "hostap: Allow linking with libnl-3" from Ben Greear
  <email address hidden> to allow building against libnl3 3.2.
* switch build dependency from libnl-dev (libnl1) to libnl-3-dev &&
  libnl-genl-3-dev accordingly.
* add libpcap-dev and libbsd-dev to kFreeBSD specific build-depends.
* disable IAPP on kFreeBSD, to avoid FTBS.
* restrict hostapd to linux-any and kfreebsd-any, hurd lacks kernel support.
* raise versioned build-dependency to (>= 3.2.3-2~), we need
  libnl-genl-3-200-udeb and expect it in /lib/.
* add "For MS-CHAP, convert the password from UTF-8 to UCS-2" from
  Evan Broder <email address hidden>, accepted upstream into hostap-1.git
* fix long description, driver_madwifi is no longer enabled, while driver_bsd
  got enabled.

12. By Kel Modderman <email address hidden> on 2011-12-11

[ Kel Modderman ]
* Use /run/sendsigs.omit.d/ for sendsigs omission pid file and depend on
  initscripts (>= 2.88dsf-13.3). (Closes: #633026)
* Migrate existing sendsigs omission pid files from /lib/init/rw to /run.
* Add a loop to ifupdown.sh to wait for creation of hostapd pid file before
  attempting creation of sensigs omission pid file, in some cases hostapd
  daemon can return before creation of the pid file has been written to disk.
* Adjust standards version to 3.9.2, no further changes required to
  satisfy that.
* Only test that DAEMON_CONF is set in init.d script, do not test if what is
  set is readable (which assumes only one configuration file is being used).
  (Closes: #615821)

[ Stefan Lippers-Hollmann ]
* use new anonscm URIs for alioth.

11. By Jan Dittberner on 2011-02-06

upload to unstable

10. By Kel Modderman <email address hidden> on 2010-02-24

* Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt).
* Add DTIM.patch, cherry picked from upstream, which works around
  problem setting DTIM period too early causing hostapd to bail out
  unceremoniously. (Closes: #570116)
* Fix syntax error in ifupdown.sh. (Closes: #571029)

9. By Kel Modderman <email address hidden> on 2010-02-11

* New upstream release.
  - drop all patches applied upstream
* Install hostapd_cli to /usr/sbin/ from /usr/bin/, as it requires
  explicit permissions to be usable by non-admin.
* Support the status command in init.d script. Depend on lsb-base (>=
  3.2-13) for status_of_proc. Patch thanks to Peter Eisentraut.
  (Closes: #535633)
* Add debian/README.source to describe use of quilt patch system.
* Increase Standards-Version to 3.8.4 without extra changes.
* Reduce debian/rules by tweaking the sequence of a few things and
  using the --sourcedirectory option of dh in debhelper (>= 7.3.7~).
  Build-Depend on that debhelper version.
* No longer install /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf per default as there are
  no sane defaults. Instead provide the configuration as an example
  only and take care to remove previously installed conffiles which
  remain unedited on upgrade.
* Clean up init.d script a bit by using existance of hostapd daemon
  configuration file as defined in /etc/default/hostapd as conditional
  for starting instead of magic RUN_DAEMON variable.
* Update README.Debian to contain information about the example
  hostapd.conf file.
* Remove Reinhard Tartler from uploaders at his request. Thanks for
  past contribution.
* Remove uupdate command from debian/watch, unused by maintainer.
* Adjust debian/watch to scan for the 0.6.X stable releases only.

8. By Kel Modderman <email address hidden> on 2009-05-17

* Change Maintainer to pkg-wpa-devel team and add Reinhard and myself
  to Uploaders to better reflect the organisation which makes the package
  available.
* Import upstream patches:
  - hostap_reuse_existing_ctrl_iface_socket.patch allows to reuse ctrl
    interface sockets left over as result of unclean shutdown
  - hostap_reject_conf_without_channel_nl80211.patch adds code to reject
    configurations which use nl80211 driver without setting a channel
    because this will always fail for the time being
* Build-Depend on quilt >= 0.46-7 for dh integration.
* Update debian/control long description to mention mac80211 based
  drivers. Thanks to Jan Braunisch for noticing.
* Also remove reference to the Prism54 driver in package long
  description, we do not support it.

7. By Kel Modderman <email address hidden> on 2009-04-03

Enable CONFIG_IEEE80211W, IEEE 802.11w (management frame
protection). (Closes: #522328)

6. By Faidon Liambotis on 2009-03-29

[ Kel Modderman ]
* New upstream release. (Closes: #521142)
* Document copyright errata of hostapd/driver_atheros.c in
  debian/copyright.
  - activate nl80211 driver backend (Closes: #429734)
  - deactivate prism54 driver, it is now working. Do not mention it
    in README.Debian (Closes: #475451)
* Add build dependency of libnl-dev (>= 1.1) for the nl80211 driver
  backend.
* Remove need for patch system.
  - ship madwifi headers in debian/driver_madwifi
  - use sed to patch hostapd.conf in order to change /etc/hostapd.* to
    /etc/hostapd/*
  - copy in build configuration from debian/config/$(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS)
    to hostapd/.config rather than using a patch
* Add support for kfreebsd build by providing debian/config/kfreebsd
  without Linux specific build options.
* Use dh-centric debian/rules and build-depend on debhelper (>= 7.0.50)
  in order to take advantage of the override_dh_* feature.
* Bump debian/compat to 7.
* Adjust Standards-Version to 3.8.0, no further changes needed.
* Use machine parsable debian/copyright format.
* Add debian/manpages instead of using explicit dh_installmanpages
  command in debian/rules.
* Rename debian/lintian-overrides to debian/hostapd.lintian-overrides
  so that dh_lintian automatically picks it up.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1, no other changes required.
* Remove var/run/hostapd and usr/share/lintian/overrides from
  debian/dirs. hostapd is able to create its own directory for unix
  sockets (and that may be anywhere admin decides) and lintian stuff
  is taken care of by debhelper now.
* Update copyright information in debian/ifupdown.sh

[ Faidon Liambotis ]
* Switch Maintainer/Uploaders roles with Kel; he's the de facto maintainer
  nowadays, he may as well listed as such.

5. By Kel Modderman <email address hidden> on 2008-03-11

* New upstream release.
* Document the two methods of managing hostapd in README.Debian. Also add a
  hint to /etc/default/hostapd to consult README.Debian for more
  information. (Closes: #443786)
* Cleanup of debian/rules, actually honor nostrip by specifying default
  CFLAGS when invoking make. Remove redundant commented out content.
* Fix incorrect LSB dependency information, hostapd now requires $remote_fs
  virtual facility for start and stop. Thanks to Petter Reinholdtsen.
  (Closes: #466283)

4. By Matt Brown on 2006-12-09

* Non-maintainer upload.
* Urgency high for RC bugfix.
* Backport hostapd.c fix from CVS: (Closes: #398466)
  - Allow hostapd_flush_old_stations to fail, otherwise configuration
    of unencrypted modes failed with madwifi. (1.168)
    The correct setup is handled by the backported fixes in the
    previous revision.
