Kismet-2016-07-R1 is not the major new rewrite, but it does have a number of bug fixes: nl8011 support is fixed so finding the vif device works again, full 5GHz channel discovery works now, memory leaks in the drone are fixed, and some ncurses compile bugs are resolved.

Kismet 2016-01-R1
After a very long while, a new Kismet release!
Kismet-2016-01-R1 is out! This release is more of a maintenance release than one introducing new features - those are still under development in the git tree under various branches.
Changes include: Turn on FCS validation by default for all sources, support for recent autotools, fixes for crashes when alert backlog was set to zero, fixes for failures in some VIF situations, fixes to resizing windows, fixes to GPS averaging, fixes to Radiotap changes in recent kernels, add WPS state parsing, handle BSSTimestamp parsing, and other assorted bug fixes and behavior improvements.
