v0.12.7

This release makes VintageNet compliant with the REUSE Specification.

• Fixes

  • Removed dependency on GenStateMachine and use :gen_statem directly.
    There's no change in functionality, but it will remove the compilation
    warnings when building the GenStateMachine dependency.
  • Fix Elixir 1.19 warning

• Changed

  • Only support Elixir 1.14 and later. It should work with Elixir 1.13 still,
    but this may change in the future without us noticing. Other libraries are
    requiring Elixir 1.14 and later, so please upgrade if this affects you.

v0.12.6

• Changes
  • Remove support for upgrading 5+ year old configurations. These probably
    weren't used much at all given how early in VintageNetWiFi's history they
    were around. If you're upgrading a device that has not been updated in 5
    years, please review differences or you may lose an existing WiFi config.
  • Add docs on forcing the WiFi frequency used when configuring AP mode. Thanks
    to Ray Chang for this update.

v0.12.5

• Changes
  • Revert support for WPA3 with VintageNetWiFi.quick_configure/2. It caused
    way too many issues on some Nerves devices. The default is WPA2 like old
    times. Raspberry Pis, BBBs, and GRiSP2 don't support WPA3 with their
    built-in WiFi modules so this may not impact you.
  • Support use of WPA3 via an application environment option. See
    VintageNetWiFi.quick_configure/2 for details.

v0.12.4

• Changes
  • Added VintageNetWiFi.network_configured?/1 helper function for checking
    whether a WiFi connection to another computer is possible or just scanning
    for access points.
  • Added VintageNetWiFi.qr_string/3 to create QR Code-encodable strings for
    easily sharing network credentials.
  • Added experimental VintageNetWiFi.capabilities/1 to query WiFi driver and
    wpa_supplicant capabilities. This can be used to check WPA3 compatibility,
    support for 5 GHz channels and more. It's experimental since the information
    is currently very raw.

v0.12.3

• Fixed
  • Relaxed frame protection requirement in generic WiFi configuration to work
    with more access points. This fixes an issue with connecting to hotspot mode
    a Samsung phone and probably other devices. The generic configuration works
    all WPA2 PSK and WPA3 SAE access points tested so far.

v0.12.2

• Changes
  • Handle update_current_access_point crashes to handle attempts to associate
    with mesh endpoints.

v0.12.1

This release adds support for creating generic WiFi configurations that work
with both WPA2 and WPA3 access points. It's implemented to be backwards
compatible if you role out firmware with this version and revert to a firmware
with the previous version.

• Changes

  • Added VintageNetWiFi.Cookbook.generic/2 for easily creating WiFi
    configurations that will connect to WPA2-only, WPA2/WPA3-transitional, and
    WPA3-only access points. This works with WPA2-only WiFi modules like what's
    currently on Raspberry Pis and modules that support WPA3 like on the
    BeagleBone Green WiFi and custom hardware.
  • Updated VintageNetWiFi.quick_connect/2 to create generic WiFi
    configurations. It previously generated WPA2-only ones.
  • Updated :key_mgmt to support lists so that multiple key management types
    could be allowed. To make configs work with earlier versions of
    VintageNetWiFi, these are normalized to store the list in the
    :allowed_key_mgmt field with the first option in :key_mgmt. This means
    that if you revert firmware to an earlier VintageNetWiFi version, you'll get
    a WPA2-only config if you're using the new generic/2 helper.

• Fixed

  • Fixed specification of WPA2-PSK configurations that use SHA256 hashing. This
    not a common configuration to my knowledge and it would have failed due to a
    typo previously.

v0.12.0

• Changes
  • Added VintageNetWiFi.summarize_access_points/1 to centralize filtering and
    sorting access point lists for presentation to users. (Thanks
    @grace-in-wonderland)
  • Change VintageNetWiFi.quick_scan/1 to call summarize_access_points/1.
    This should make it much easier to find SSIDs at the IEx prompt. It's
    technically an API change. See the function's hexdocs for details.

v0.11.7

• Fixed

  • Workaround issue passing SSIDs that contain a lot of escaped characters.
    These were probably invalid anyway, but this prevents needless retries.

• Changes

  • Lowered log priority (warning -> debug) of several messages that occur a lot
    and aren't really problems.

v0.11.6

• Fixed
  • Support passing SSIDs with all NULL characters to wpa_supplicant. This
    also fixes other SSIDs with nonprintable characters.
