Dear Jouni, I wish you a Happy New Year 2022! Thanks a lot for this new version "2.10 (2022-01-16)" of hostap/wpa_supplicant which arrives several years after the 2.9 (2019-08-07) with CVE fixes. A lot of people have requested it since a long time like me. We hope more releases now and minor releases at each CVE, security is very important.
