(not released yet) Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.10 ============================================= +This is a snapshot of NetworkManager 1.10 development series. +USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE! + +Notable changes included in this snapshot so far include: + +* Improved support for configuration checkpoint, including support in libnm. +* Added capability to set IP Tunnel configuration flags. +* The systemd-resolved DNS plugins now supports MDNS. +* systemd-resolved and dnsmasq DNS plugins now honor the DNS priority setting. +* Wi-Fi devices now support FILS for speedier roaming support. +* Add support for "onlink" routes +* More robust connectivity checking. +* Dropped the obsolete "ifnet" settings plugin +* Try harder to generate reasonable human-readable names for devices even if + the hwdb contains garbage. +* Add an "overview" option to hide default values in nmcli, resulting in more + concise output. +* Reworked the inner workings of D-Bus interface for better resource efficiency. +* Add support for configuring nmcli coloring via terminal-colors.d(5). +* Added experimental support for Meson build system +* Added initial IWD Wi-Fi daemon support * A non-hexadecimal DHCPv4 client-id is now properly passed to dhclient with the first byte (type) set to zero, as stated in the documentation. This represents a change in behavior since previous versions where the first character of the string was used as type. The internal client is not affected by the change. +The following features were backported to 1.10.x releases from 1.10.0 to +1.10.8 are also present in NetworkManager-1.12: + +* Fix connectivity timeout handling (bgo #794464) +* Retry activating devices when the parent becomes managed (rh #1553595) +* Correctly set the rp_filter value (rh #1565529) +* A fix to ensure teamd is respawned after daemon restart (rh #1551958) +* Better handle DHCP expiry (bgo #783391) +* Fix configuration of IPv6 over master interfaces (rh #1575944) +* ovs: fix compilation issue of OVS plugin and various fixes +* team: add support for team runner "random" +* core: cleanup activation of device (rh #1537160) +* dhcp: retry indefinitely to renew the lease (rh #1503587) +* core: fix blocking autoconnect for no-secrets (rh #794014) +* libnm: mark async results as cancelled (bgo #794088) +* Load jansson at runtime. This solves a clash with json-glib that caused + a gnome-control-center crash, but also gets rid of a hard dependency. +* Correct nmcli exit values after receiving a signal. +* Fix libnm secret agent asynchronous initialization. +* Add a default route for a modem even if it didn't sent a gateway. +* Improve communication of DAD failures. +* Remember device default metrics across daemon restarts. +* Various bug fixes including possible crashes. +* Added support for 'onlink' IPv4 routes attribute. +* Wait longer for the carrier to come up after a MTU change. +* Implemented abstraction for team connections that exposes team + configuration items as distinct properties. +* Added basic support for tc queueing disciplines and filters. +* Introduced an Update2() D-Bus method to update connection settings + with more flexibility. +* Many bug fixes and improvements. + ============================================ NetworkManager-1.10 Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.8 -- cgit v1.2.1
