Whenever the system is suspended, we'll flag the + modems as invalid so that they are re-probed from scratch when the system + is resumed. + ** Added cancellation support for the probing operations. + ** Reworked and simplified the serial port response processing. + + * Location interface: + ** Added A-GPS support, currently available only for QMI based modems with + PDS service. + ** Added support for updating the default GPS refresh time. + + * Time interface: + ** New default implementation for all AT-based modems. + + * Voice interface: + ** New DBus interface to allow the management of voice calls, which currently + assumes that the audio channel is setup out of ModemManager. + + * Bearer: + ** New support for reporting statistics of the ongoing connection with a new + 'Stats' property, currently available for QMI and MBIM based modems. + + * QMI: + ** Implemented support for devices which only work in "raw IP" mode, like + the Sierra MC7455. + ** Implemented support for SIM related operations using the UIM service, as + newer modems with multi-SIM capabilities don't suppor the legacy DMS UIM + operations. + + * udev: + ** Added new supported 'ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE' tag to allow fully ignoring ports + specified by the user. + + * mmcli: + ** Added command completion. + ** Added new operations to use the Voice interface. + ** Added new operations to manage the A-GPS settings. + + * Build: + ** Added code coverage support. + + * Plugins: + ** haier: new plugin to support the Haier CE81B. + ** thuraya: new plugin for Thuraya satellite modems. + ** sierra-legacy,sierra: the implementation for Sierra modems is now split + into two different plugins: a 'legacy' one for the old PPP and DirectIP + based modems and the standard one for the newer QMI and MBIM based ones. + ** dell: new plugin for Dell rebranded devices from Novatel, Sierra or + Ericsson. + ** gobi: removed the plugin. All non-vendor specific QMI devices should now + be managed by the generic plugin. + ** mbm: dynamically load the list of supported modes. + ** huawei: implemented Voice call management support. + ** huawei: use static IP addressing in NDISDUP capable devices if the AT^DHCP + response provides the IP details. + +The following features which were backported to 1.4.x releases are also present +in ModemManager 1.6.0: + + * MBIM: + ** The mbim-proxy is used by default. + ** Implemented support for disconnection status notification while connected. + ** Disabled CDMA capabilities, until properly supported. + + * QMI: + ** The qmi-proxy is used by default. + ** If online mode fails, use 'DMS Set FCC Authentication', required by some + rebranded Sierra modems (e.g. Dell branded ones). + ** Implemented support for loading SIM operator id and name. + ** Implemented power-cycle reset functionality. + + * Plugins: + ** telit: added support for new devices, like HE910, UE910 and UL865. + ** telit: implemented dynamic port identification. + ** telit: implemented unlock retries loading. + ** telit: implemented supported/current bands management. + ** telit: implemented supported/current modes management. + ** telit: implemented modem reset and power down. + ** mbm: implemented GPS support for Ericsson HS2350 and H5321gw modems. + + ModemManager 1.4.0 ------------------------------------------- This is a new stable release of ModemManager. |
