Changelog for kismet-devel-2020_09_R4-63.3.x86_64.rpm :

* Sat Sep 26 2020 mardnhAATTgmx.de- Update to version 2020-09-R4
* Fix a false “login required” error on the datasources panel.
* Sun Sep 20 2020 mardnhAATTgmx.de- Update to version 2020-09-R3
* Properly show messages from datasources
* Properly show error and status messages from opening datasources, which previously were ignored. This should make seeing errors opening datasources much easier.
* Fix bluetooth capture on some platforms
* Some platforms / kernels / setups appear to not enable rfkill. The bluetooth hci capture source erroneously failed when no rfkill information was available.
* Remove 221 IE tag subtype match requirement
* Remove requiring a subtype of 0 on an IE221 tag for matching the manufacturer of otherwise unknown devices.
* Fix potential crash in datasource panel
* Fix a long-standing potential crash when the datasource panel is open in the UI caused by a race condition with the constructor and callbacks.
* Fix race condition in launching datasources
* Fix a long-standing race condition which could lead to some datasources not being opened properly or their types autodetected properly due to a race condition with the type probe code.
* Increase precision of some doubles in JSON for GPS
* Found some legacy serialization code which reduced the precision of some doubles (double-vector) which would cause GPS to display with less precision.
* Don’t shut down messagebus processing thread until Kismet is fully exiting
* The messagebus service thread could shut down before Kismet had finished spinning down, causing it to not show some of the errors causing the shutdown.
* Fix moodycamel fast queue for gcc 9.2.0
* Merge fix from cameron314/moodycamel to the fast concurrent queue library for compiling on gcc 9.2.0
* Add new device locking API
* Add new device locking API for internal range locking of devices to better protect records during updates between threads.

* Fix a very silly error in kismetdb_dump_devices
* The kismetdb_dump_devices tool was broken and printed out the JSON twice, generating an invalid JSON file.

* Sun Jan 05 2020 mardnhAATTgmx.de- Update to version 2019-12-R2 A bugfix release for Kismet 2019-12, R2 solves a number of quirks which were quite annoying:
* Solve a race condition in Linux with interface naming. Due to how the nl80211 layer handles interface naming, combined with how systemd can name interfaces on some systems, it was possible to have a race condition when Kismet defaulted to kismonX interface names, resulting in either errors or Kismet ignoring one of the interfaces.
* Solve a free on an unused pointer in nl80211 vif creation. The new vif creation code doesn’t use the nl80211 flags sub-message when there are no flags to add, but tried to free it. This could cause a crash the first time trying to open a source, but the second time would succeed.
* Fix TICC2540 USB devices. Some systems were very unhappy with the order in which the USB device was initialized; now it should be fine.
* Work around the very broken RTL8812BU driver. While we don’t recommend this driver or these cards, due to a HUGE number of issues, Kismet will now do its best to open one and get it into monitor mode.
* Much smoother operation with very very large numbers of sources. A side effect of the vif naming fix, interfaces are now initialized and opened one at a time. While this may take much longer to open huge numbers (dozens or more) of interfaces, it is much more reliable and much less likely to cause Kismet or kernel problems during the initial bring-up and firmware load of interfaces.
* Minor output text fixes. Capture interface and base interface were swapped in some messages to the user.
* Wed Dec 25 2019 mardnhAATTgmx.de- Update to version 2019-12-R1 Bugfixes and performance boosts
* Remove OpenMP/parallel processing; this resolves a massive CPU burn on even moderate numbers of devices.
* Fix logging bug causing export of all devices every logging cycle, instead of only modified and new devices.
* Revamped python-kismet-external using asyncio to prevent a large CPU wasting IO loop.
* Bugfixes to the Linux netlink monitor controls to prefer nl80211, find existing monitor interfaces correctly, and to work on devices that don’t support IOxIWCTL iocontrols at all (AX200).
* Switch to std::unordered_map hash maps for O(1) lookups whenever possible New features
* BTLE packet capture and basic device display, using the aUbertooth One, CC2540, or nRF51822;
* New SDR demodulators for ADSB (airplane) and AMR (power and water meter) with no external dependencies beyond librtlsdr and python3!
* New ADSB mapping UI
* BTLE support in the UI
* New formatting options for ekjson to simplify export to other tools
* Device present/missing alerts
* ADSB geolocation
* Detection of CVE-2019-17666 RTLWIFI vulnerabilities
* Sun Dec 01 2019 mardnhAATTgmx.de- Completely rewritten spec-file- Intruduce subpackages for the capture helpers- Add kismet-rpmlintrc- Package systemd service file- Remove obsolete patch:
* kismet-2011-03-R2-makefile.diff- Update to version 2019-09-R1 This is the new, MAJOR rewrite of Kismet! This version changes almost everything, hopefully for the better, including:
* Web-based UI allowing for much simpler presentation of data and compatibility with mobile devices
* Standard JSON-based data export for easy scripting against Kismet instances
* Support for wireless protocols beyond Wi-Fi, like basic Bluetooth scanning, thermometer, and weather station detection with the RTL-SDR hardware, and more on the way
