 '''MAC Software Changes:'''
- * Updated AP and STA hex display usage (see [../Usage#LEDs design usage] page for current LED use)
  * STA code now updates the local MAC timestamp value to match the timestamp field in beacons received from the AP (required by the standard, also very useful for aligning log entries)
  * Fixed bug where mac_payload_log_len value in Tx/Rx log entries was sometimes wrong
  * Elevated sequence number generation to framework; now uses internal u64 value as 'uniq_seq' in log, the 12 LSB of which are used as sequence number in Tx packets. This enables much easier parsing of log files with >4096 Tx packets per node
  * Formalized BSS descriptions for AP and STA. Framework now maintains information about BSS and association table dl_list is a member of this description.
- * Used new BSS description subsystem for brand new scanning and joining state machines at the STA. These implementations are much cleaner and more robust than the previous functionality in the STA code.
- * Added 802.11a 5GHz support for a subset of 5GHz channels
+ * Redesigned active scan state machine in STA (see [browser:/ReferenceDesigns/w3_802.11/c/wlan_mac_high_sta/wlan_mac_sta_scan_fsm.c@3702 wlan_mac_sta_scan_fsm.c]), using new BSS description subsystem
+ * Redesigned association state machine in STA (see [browser:/ReferenceDesigns/w3_802.11/c/wlan_mac_high_sta/wlan_mac_sta_join_fsm.c@3706 wlan_mac_sta_join_fsm.c]), using new BSS description subsystem
+ * Added preliminary 802.11a 5GHz support for a subset of 5GHz channels
  * NAV is now cleared on channel change. This is a requirement in the standard.
+ * Updated AP and STA hex display usage (see [../Usage#LEDs design usage] page for current LED use)
 
 '''wlan_exp Framework Changes:'''
  * Added "forced" association commands; allows association of WARP AP with WARP STA without any wireless packet handshakes
+ * Added authentication address filter support to allow/block associations at AP by MAC address
+ * Added new log entry types for LTG Tx/Rx events with LTG flow ID and LTG pkt ID (previously uniq_seq was only available for Tx events)
  * Fixed log index generation to gracefully handle case of unknown entry type IDs in merge/include_only lists that aren't actually needed to parse a log
  * New command to en/disable STA timestamp updates from beacons
