This release only contains a build system update. It doesn't change any code and
is a safe update.

  • New features

    • Support WPS PBS for connecting to access points. This is the feature where
      you press a button on the AP and "press a button" on the device to connect.
      See VintageNetWiFi.quick_wps/1. Thanks to @labno for this feature.
  • Bug fixes

    • Added missing PSK WiFi type. Thanks again to Dömötör Gulyás for these fixes.
    • Improved handling of AP information gathering from the wpa_supplicant.
      This works around a rare issue seen when the wpa_supplicant doesn't
      respond to a BSS information request, by 1. not sending the request when the
      information is known and 2. moving info requests out of the main process to
      avoid stalling more important requests when lots of APs are around.

  • New features
    • It's now possible to specify arbitrary wpa_supplicant.conf text.
      VintageNetWiFi normally tries to validate everything going into the config
      file, but this gets in the way of advanced users especially when a feature
      is not available in VintageNetWiFi yet. This is the escape hatch. Specify
      the :wpa_supplicant_conf key in the config and you have total control.
    • Initial support for WPA3 has been added. See the README.md for
      configuration details. Note that many WiFi modules and their drivers don't
      support WPA3 yet, and WPA3 support isn't enabled at the time of this release
      in all official Nerves systems.

v0.10.0

This release is backwards compatible with v0.9.2. No changes are needed to
existing code.

  • Bug fixes
    • OTP 24 is supported now. This release updates to the old crypto API that has
      been removed in OTP 24.
    • Fix a GenServer crash when requesting BSSID information. This issue seemed
      to occur more frequently in high density WiFi environments. OTP supervision
      recovered it, but it had a side effect of making VintageNet send out
      notifications that would make it look like the interface bounced.
    • Fix a crash due to invalid AP flags being reported. Thanks to Rick Carlino
      for reporting that this happens.

v0.9.2

This release introduces helper functions for configuring the most common types
of networks:

  • VintageNetWiFi.quick_configure("ssid", "password") - connect to a WPA PSK
    network on "wlan0"
  • VintageNetWiFi.quick_scan() - scan and return access points in one call

Additionally, there's now a VintageNetWiFi.Cookbook module with functions for
creating the configs for various kinds of networks.

  • New features
    • Initial support for 802.11s mesh networking. Please see the docs and the
      cookbook for using this since it requires compatible WiFi modules and more
      configuration than normal WiFi options.
    • Synchronize with vintage_net v0.9.0's networking program path API update
