started to prefer FT-SAE over SAE AKM if both are enabled\n  - started to prefer FT-SAE over FT-PSK if both are enabled\n  - fixed FT-SAE when SAE PMKSA caching is used\n  - reject use of unsuitable groups based on new implementation guidance\n    in REVmd (allow only FFC groups with prime >= 3072 bits and ECC\n    groups with prime >= 256)\n  -

added local generation of PMK-R0/PMK-R1 for FT-PSK\n    (ft_psk_generate_local=1)\n  - replaced inter-AP protocol with a cleaner design that is more\n    easily extensible; this breaks backward compatibility and requires\n    all APs in the ESS to be updated at the same time to maintain FT\n    functionality\n  -

added support for Password Identifier\n* hostapd_cli: added support for command history and completion\n* added support for requesting beacon report\n* large number of other fixes, cleanup, and extensions\n* added option to configure EAPOL-Key retry limits\n  (wpa_group_update_count and wpa_pairwise_update_count)\n* removed all PeerKey functionality\n* fixed nl80211 AP mode configuration regression with Linux 4.15 and\n  newer\n* added support for using wolfSSL cryptographic library\n* fixed some 20/40 MHz coexistence cases where the BSS could drop to\n  20 MHz even when 40 MHz would be allowed\n* Hotspot 2.0\n  -
