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

This release is from the development branch (0.5.x). Please note that
0.4.x branch continues to be the current source of stable releases.


hostapd:
* driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
* added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)

wpa_supplicant:
* driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
* added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
* added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  option can be changed if needed
* wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  recommended)
* fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  to disable TLS library for normal authentication
* driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  not likely to happen in real use.
* fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
* fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  ap_scan=2)
