20. By Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre on 2013-06-12

* Multiple patches to reduce the number of disconnections for WPA Enterprise
  roaming and Opportunistic Key Caching. (LP: #1187524)
* In debian/patches:
  0001-sme-fix-retry-after-auth-assoc-timeout-failure.patch,
  0002-sme-optimize-recovery-from-common-load-balancing-mechanisms.patch,
  0003-sme-blacklist-bss-on-first-failure-if-only-a-*.patch,
  0004-sme-extend-load-balancing-optimization-in-bss-blacklisting.patch,
  0005-sme-optimize-recovery-from-association-command-failures.patch,
  0006-sme-add-timers-for-authentication-and-association.patch,
  0007-sme-nl80211-set-cipher-suites.patch:
  Cherry-pick patches fixing SME (Session Management Entity) for the nl80211
  driver, which works as a basis for the OKC patches.
* In debian/patches:
  0001-pmkokc-Set-portValid-TRUE-on-association-for-driver-based-4.patch,
  0002-pmkokc-Clear-WPA-and-EAPOL-state-machine-config-pointer-on-.patch,
  0003-pmkokc-Clear-driver-PMKSA-cache-entry-on-PMKSA-cache-expira.patch,
  0004-pmkokc-Flush-PMKSA-cache-entries-and-invalidate-EAP-state-o.patch,
  0005-pmkokc-Fix-proactive_key_caching-configuration-to-WPA-code.patch,
  0006-pmkokc-RSN-Add-a-debug-message-when-considing-addition-of-O.patch,
  0007-pmkokc-Clear-OKC-based-PMKSA-caching-entries-if-PMK-is-chan.patch,
  0008-pmkokc-Move-wpa_sm_remove_pmkid-call-to-PMKSA-cache-entry-f.patch,
  0009-pmkokc-Use-PMKSA-cache-entries-with-only-a-single-network-c.patch,
  0010-pmkokc-PMKSA-Do-not-evict-active-cache-entry-when-adding-ne.patch,
  0011-pmkokc-PMKSA-Set-cur_pmksa-pointer-during-initial-associati.patch,
  0012-pmkokc-PMKSA-make-deauthentication-due-to-cache-entry-remov.patch,
  0013-pmkokc-PMKSA-update-current-cache-entry-due-to-association-.patch:
  Cherry-pick patches to properly do OKC (Opportunistic Key Caching) which
  helps maintaining connectivity on networks secured with WPA Enterprise,
  especially on nl80211-based drivers -- these patches require SME, and add
  or fix key caching and handling of the cache entries.
* debian/patches/force-enable-okc.patch: force Opportunistic Key Caching to
  be enabled.
* debian/patches/less-aggressive-roaming.patch: use less aggressive roaming
  settings to avoid switching to another AP unnecessarily, when the actual
  signal level difference is small.
* debian/patches/wpa_supplicant-dbus-null-error.patch: Don't send NULL to
  dbus_message_new_error().
* debian/patches/0001-nl80211-Fix-UNSPEC-signal-quality-reporting.patch: fix
  marking qual as invalid rather than signal level.
* debian/patches/wpa_supplicant-squelch-driver-disconnect-spam.patch: recover
  cleanly from streams of disconnect messages (like on iwl3945).
* debian/patches/wpa_supplicant-assoc-timeout.patch: increase association
  timeouts.

debian/patches/session-ticket.patch: disable the TLS Session Ticket
extension to fix auth with 802.1x PEAP on some hardware. (LP: #969343)

18. By Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre on 2012-03-16

debian/wpasupplicant.postinst: don't fail package configuration if the
sendsig omission files can't be migrated from /lib/init/rw to /run.
Thanks to Anthony Fok for the patch. (LP: #935678)

17. By Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre on 2012-02-16

debian/patches/dbus-activation-cmdline.patch: have wpasupplicant create
a pid file in /run/sendsigs.omit.d when activated by DBus. (LP: #869635)

16. By Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <email address hidden> on 2011-12-19

* add "hostap: Allow linking with libnl-3" from Ben Greear
  <email address hidden> to allow building against libnl3 3.2.
* raise versioned build-dependency to (>= 3.2.3-2~), we need
  libnl-genl-3-200-udeb and expect it in /lib/.
* switch build dependency from libnl3-dev to libnl-3-dev && libnl-genl-3-dev
  accordingly.
* symlink /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/ to /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant,
  which is referred to from upstream documentation (Closes: #537375,
  #616120).
* enable BGSCAN_SIMPLE (Closes: #650834).
* 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
  (Closes: #649202).

15. By Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre on 2011-12-20

Release 0.7.3-6 from Debian's pkg-wpa SVN to Ubuntu Precise as
0.7.3-5ubuntu1. Leaving 0.7.3-6 as UNRELEASED for now.

14. By Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <email address hidden> on 2011-10-14

* restrict wpasupplicant-udeb to linux-any, until a udeb for libpcap0.8 gets
  available for kfreebsd-any (Closes: #644823).
* build-depend on libncurses5-dev explicitly, as it is no longer pulled in
  indirectly.

13. By Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <email address hidden> on 2011-09-26

[ Kel Modderman ]
* Support /run/sendsigs.omit.d/ (Closes: #633040):
  - depend on initscripts (>= 2.88dsf-13.3)
  - create new omission pid files in /run/sendsigs.omit.d/ unconditionally
  - migrate existing omission pid files from /lib/init/rw/ to
    /run/sendsigs.omit.d/
* ACK NMU (Closes: #610931)
  - add wpasupplicant-udeb
  - build against libnl3
* Improve integration of the udeb addition with existing debian/rules:
  - build the required binary in the build target in similar way to standard
    package build
  - install binary manually in dh_auto_install override rather than
    wpasupplicant-udeb.install to handle renaming of binary
  - sync udeb CFLAGS with the standard build
  - allow potential for non-linux udebs, add a kfreebsd udeb configuration
    snippet
* Filter the numerous hyphen-used-as-minus-sign informational messages
  from lintian output.
* Add preferred options to debian/source/local-options to assist with quilt
  patch management.
* Add patch for wpa_gui-qt4 which displays scan results signal strength in
  dBm with bar indicator. (Closes: #630681)

[ Stefan Lippers-Hollmann ]
* make wpasupplicant-udeb arch=any, an initial kfreebsd udeb config is now
  provided as well.
* use Package-Type instead of XC-Package-Type for wpasupplicant-udeb,
  dpkg-dev >1.15.7 is available in squeeze.
* add a dependency on ${misc:Depends} for the udeb package as well.
* adapt debian/copyright to recent changes (r174) in DEP-5 and use the new
  anonscm URL.
* don't use /run/sendsigs.omit.d/ if it hasn't already been created by
  mountkernfs.sh (e.g. when using systemd), thanks to Michael Biebl.

* Non-maintainer upload with the agreement of Kel Modderman.

[ Stefan Lippers-Hollmann ]
* bump standards version to 3.9.2, no changes necessary.

[ Gaudenz Steinlin ]
* Add wpasupplicant-udeb for debian-installer. Thanks to
  Mathew Palmer for providing the initial patch. (Closes: #610931)

11. By Kel Modderman <email address hidden> on 2011-04-17

* Restore code which loop waits for wpa_supplicant generated PID and
  UNIX socket on the filesystem before proceeeding with execution of
  ifupdown script. (Closes: #622757, #622589)
* On DISCONNECTED event using wpa-roam, do not immediately issue
  reassociation command. (Closes: #622821)
* Enable CONFIG_IEEE80211W in build configuration. (Closes: #622587)
