openSUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for linssid ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2020:1402-1 Rating: moderate References: Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 15.2 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has 0 recommended fixes can now be installed. Description: This update for linssid fixes the following issues: Update to Version 3.6 * Attempts to resolve 802.11s mesh network nodes to their master. If otherwise not reported, marks SSID field of mesh node APs as "<mesh-masterSSID>". version 3.5: * New vendor database and search scheme that now looks in ieee oui large, medium, and small block databases. Previously only looked in large block database because that's where 98% of all devices are found. * Displays SSID of attach points with no SSID as "<hidden>". version 3.4: * Fixes location and owner of ".linssid.prefs" and "LinSSID.datalog". Instead of placed in /root and owned by root they are now placed in "$HOME" and owned by "$USER" when launched with linssid-pkexec which is the normal .desktop launch. * Fixed some wrongly addressed cosmetic icons. * Updated vendor data file. (Version 3.3 had some trailing characters that messed up data logging.) * Sundry under-the-hood optimizations. version 3.3: * Adds selection of table font size in preferences dialog. version 3.2: * Now shows mark for control channel on the channel plots. Very useful for making sure your control channel(s) don't overlap with the neighbors'. * Fixes potential memory leak with attached plots. version 3.1: * Big change - now requires polkit (policykit) authentication. No way around this as debian/ubuntu/* has emasculated su and sudo. A step backward IMHO. Now the whole app must run as root. So, all of the prefs and log files are now in /root and are owned by root. And, the whole app must run as root instead of just well-tested system parts. * Major rewrite of the synchronization between the main window and the data getter. * Install rewrite * Desktop file fix * Updated vendor database version 3.0: * Fix race condition with large number of SSID * Updated vendor database Patch Instructions: To install this openSUSE Recommended Update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like YaST online_update or "zypper patch".
