After more than 2 years, we are making a release with a decently large amount of fixes, improvements, and additions. We also broke the 4000 commits barrier, and this release has more than
400 commits.
Noticeable changes and fixes are present in a number of tools: airodump-ng, aircrack-ng, airdecap-ng, airmon-ng, aireplay-ng, airgraph-ng, besside-ng. And also osdep, our os-dependent interface for Wi-Fi capture and injection, as well as WPE patches for freeradius and hostapd.
On the less visible side, we get a number of improvements and fixes as well. We did code refactoring, deduplication, cleanup, code style fixes, as well as miscellaneous improvements. We also fixed a bunch of typos, spelling, and wording issues across the board. We fixed a number of issues reported by different static analysis tools we use, among others,
PVS-Studio,
Coverity Scan,
Infer.
