Wireless Tools with the new API were released in April. wpa_supplicant with the new API was release May 5th. That makes it 6 months. Wireless Tools v28 was included in Gentoo April 11th and in Debian testing May 27th. wpa_supplicant 0.4.9 was included in Gentoo May 27th and Debian testing June 10th.
