ModemManager 1.6.0
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
This is a new stable release of ModemManager.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* This version requires:
|
||||||
|
** GLib 2.36.0
|
||||||
|
** gettext 0.19.3
|
||||||
|
** libmbim >= 1.12.0 (for the optional MBIM support)
|
||||||
|
** libqmi >= 1.14.0 (for the optional QMI support)
|
||||||
|
** libsystemd >= 209 or libsystemd-login >= 183 (for the optional suspend
|
||||||
|
and resume support)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* For distributions using systemd, it is suggested that the new optional
|
||||||
|
suspend/resume is explicitly requested during configure with the new
|
||||||
|
'--with-suspend-resume=systemd' argument.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This version comes with the following new features:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Core:
|
||||||
|
** Implemented support for suspend/resume detection, currently working
|
||||||
|
when systemd is in use. 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:

||||||

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||

||||||
|
** 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.

||||||
