While I am thankful for this wonderful piece of software that allows me to run my own AP, as a long term free-software contributor[4] I would not find it acceptable for my own software to have a 2 year old release out with 10 known security vulnerabilities of which 8 rank as MEDIUM severity and one ranks as HIGH severity (CVE-2017-13077, CVE-2017-13078, CVE-2017-13079, CVE-2017-13080, CVE-2017-13081, CVE-2017-13082, CVE-2017-13086, CVE-2017-13087, CVE-2017-13088). Also I'd be personally eager to ship all the hard work that has accumulated in 2 years, removing painful bugs, & adding features. In that spirit, I -- like [1][2][3] -- kindly ask the maintainers to tag a new release. If the current state of master feels to unstable, please create a 2_7 git release branch that could be honed for release and which distributions can throw into the unstable branch as well, so the code gets some millage. Hoping we get an official release soon, Clemens [1] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/hostap/2018-April/038490.html [2] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/hostap/2018-August/038716.html [3] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/hostap/2018-June/038641.html [4] https://duckduckgo.com/?q=clemens+fruhwirth -- Fruhwirth Clemens http://clemens.endorphin.org _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
