  • APscanner 0.5 released

    After a complete rewrite of the core engine and a long period of testing, APscanner finally runs under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. From now on Apples airport commandline tool is discarded in favor of Apple80211 Private Framework. APscanner is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4. Noise power retrieval is now viewable and a log file will be automatically created (check it for apscanner.log), if you want to prevent APscanner from printing a log, use the -nl or --no-log option (refer to the README file for more informations). Vendors OUI list is also updated to 09 March 2008 from http://standards.ieee.org . ChangeLog 0.5 * Imported Apple80211 Framework support * Rewritten all core functions to work with Apple80211 Framework * Discarded use of airport tool output * Removed UpdateNodeSpaces and related methods * Added IBSS (AdHoc) support * Fixed Signal retrieval * Added Noise retrieval support * Added Full AirPort Power Management support (turn on/off) * Added SIGINT catch (Ctrl+C) * Added a bang ("!") sign on main window for unencrypted networks * Log enabled by default * Removed "-l | --log-enable" options * Added "-nl | --no-log" options * Fixed log print (meaningless) * Fixed a bug introduced on 0.4 release which could occur for not recognized vendors * Modified ncurses main refresh to 5 seconds to avoid external output interferences * Added compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 * Added compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4 * Added compatibility with Mac OS X 10.3.9 * Updated OUI (vendors) listing to 09 March 2008 from standards.ieee.org
