     [http://w1.fi/security/2016-1/ (CVE-2016-4476)
   * extended channel switch support for VHT bandwidth changes
   * added support for configuring new ANQP-elements with
     anqp_elem=:
   * fixed Suite B 192-bit AKM to use proper PMK length (note: this makes old
     releases incompatible with the fixed behavior)

     frame sending for not-associated STAs if max_num_sta limit has been
     reached
   * added option (-S as command line argument) to request all interfaces to
     be started at the same time
   * modified rts_threshold and fragm_threshold configuration parameters to
     allow -1 to be used to disable RTS/fragmentation
   * EAP-pwd: added support for Brainpool Elliptic Curves (with OpenSSL 1.0.2
     and newer)
   * fixed EAPOL reauthentication after FT protocol run
   * fixed FTIE generation for 4-way handshake after FT protocol run
   * fixed and improved various FST operations

     - add require_message_authenticator configuration option to require
       CoA/Disconnect-Request packets to be authenticated
   * started to postpone WNM-Notification frame sending by 100 ms so that the
     STA has some more time to configure the key before this frame is
     received after the 4-way handshake
   * VHT: added interoperability workaround for 80+80 and 160 MHz channels
   * extended VLAN support (per-STA vif, etc.)
   * fixed PMKID derivation with SAE
   * nl80211
     - added support for full station state operations

     be added into (Re)Association Response frames
   * improved Public Action frame addressing
     - use Address 3 = wildcard BSSID in GAS response if a query from an
       unassociated STA used that address
     - fix TX status processing for Address 3 = wildcard BSSID
     - add gas_address3 configuration parameter to control Address 3 behavior
