ModemManager 1.20.0
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
This is a new stable release of ModemManager.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following notes are directed to package maintainers:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* This version now requires:
|
||||||
|
** libmbim >= 1.28.0 (for the optional MBIM support)
|
||||||
|
** libqmi >= 1.32.0 (for the optional QMI support)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* There is no longer an upstream-provided source tarball, please use the signed
|
||||||
|
git tag '1.20.0' instead to refer to the sources of this release.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* This release supports meson as the primary build system. The GNU autotools
|
||||||
|
support is considered deprecated and will no longer be used in future major
|
||||||
|
releases. The 1.20.x releases will be the last ones including GNU autotools
|
||||||
|
support.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The most important features and changes in this release are the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* API:
|
||||||
|
** New 'Modem.Sar' interface to allow the host to manage the SAR power level.
|
||||||
|
** New 'Modem.GetCellInfo()' method, that allows querying information about
|
||||||
|
the current serving and neighboring cells. Currently including
|
||||||
|
'cell-type' and 'serving' fields for all cell types, plus additional
|
||||||
|
type-specific fields:
|
||||||
|
*** CDMA: 'nid', 'sid', 'base-station-id', 'ref-pn' and 'pilot-strength'.
|
||||||
|
*** GSM: 'operator-id', 'lac', 'ci', 'timing-advance', 'arfcn',
|
||||||
|
'base-station-id' and 'rx-level'.
|
||||||
|
*** UMTS: 'operator-id', 'lac', 'ci', 'frequency-fdd-ul',
|
||||||
|
'frequency-fdd-dl', 'frequency-tdd', 'uarfcn', 'psc', 'rscp', 'ecio'
|
||||||
|
and 'path-loss'.
|
||||||
|
*** TDSCDMA: 'operator-id', 'lac', 'ci', 'uarfcn', 'cell-parameter-id',
|
||||||
|
'timing-advance', 'rscp' and 'path-loss'.
|
||||||
|
*** LTE: 'operator-id', 'tac', 'ci', 'physical-ci', 'earfcn', 'rsrp',
|
||||||
|
'rsrq' and 'timing-advance'.
|
||||||
|
*** 5GNR: 'operator-id', 'tac', 'ci', 'physical-ci', 'nrarfcn', 'rsrp',
|
||||||
|
'rsrq', 'sinr' and 'timing-advance'.
|
||||||
|
** New 'access-type-preference', 'roaming-allowance', 'profile-name',
|
||||||
|
'profile-enabled' and 'profile-source' fields in the 'Bearer.Properties'
|
||||||
|
property, that can also be used in both 'Modem.Simple.Connect()' and
|
||||||
|
'Modem.CreateBearer()'.
|
||||||
|
** New 'Modem.Modem3gpp.SetPacketServiceState()' method and
|
||||||
|
'Modem.Modem3gpp.PacketServiceState' property, which allow management the
|
||||||
|
explicit attach or detach to packet service on the current registered
|
||||||
|
network.
|
||||||
|
** New 'Modem.Modem3gpp.SetNr5gRegistrationSettings()' method and
|
||||||
|
'Modem.Modem3gpp.Nr5gRegistrationSettings' property, to allow management
|
||||||
|
of 5G specific settings like 'mico-mode' or 'drx-cycle'.
|
||||||
|
** New 'start-date', 'uplink-speed' and 'downlnk-speed' fields in the
|
||||||
|
'Bearer.Stats' property.
|
||||||
|
** New 'Bearer.ReloadStatsSupported' property to indicate whether reloading
|
||||||
|
ongoing stats is supported or not.
|
||||||
|
** New 'Modem.Modem3gppProfileManager.IndexField' property, to indicate which
|
||||||
|
field is to be used as unique index in the profile management operations.
|
||||||
|
** New 'Sim.SimType', 'Sim.EsimStatus' and 'Sim.Removability' properties to
|
||||||
|
improve the management of eSIM related operations.
|
||||||
|
** New 'Sim.Gid1' and 'Sim.Gid2' properties, which allow identifying SIM cards
|
||||||
|
that should have different settings applied.
|
||||||
|
** New 'Modem.Signal.SetupThresholds() method, 'Modem.Signal.RssiThreshold'
|
||||||
|
and 'Modem.Signal.ErrorRateThreshold' to allow configuring thresholds so
|
||||||
|
that the modem emits indications whenever the signal quality values change
|
||||||
|
based on those thresholds. For RSSI a delta amount of dBm can be given,
|
||||||
|
and for error rate just a boolean to enable or disable the corresponding
|
||||||
|
event.
|
||||||
|
** New 'error-rate' fields in the 'Modem.Signal.Cdma', 'Modem.Signal.Evdo',
|
||||||
|
'Modem.Signal.Gsm', 'Modem.Signal.Umts', 'Modem.Signal.Lte' and
|
||||||
|
'Modem.Signal.Nr5g' properties.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Core:
|
||||||
|
** Detecting an eSIM without an active profile in the current SIM slot will
|
||||||
|
lead to the modem being in Failed state, in the same way as if the slot
|
||||||
|
was for a physical SIM and no SIM was inserted.
|
||||||
|
** Default amount of AT probing attempts is updated to 6, to cope with modems
|
||||||
|
that are slower to boot.
|
||||||
|
** New '--test-mbimex-profile-management' option in the daemon, to enable
|
||||||
|
support for profile management operations using the Microsoft extensions.
|
||||||
|
This is an optional feature because it requires using the 'apn-type' field
|
||||||
|
as unique index, which not all users of the profile management API may
|
||||||
|
expect.
|
||||||
|
** Implemented some initial support to automatically hide personal details
|
||||||
|
(e.g. phone numbers, SMS contents...) from logs, right now only applicable
|
||||||
|
to QMI and MBIM logs. Updated support for this feature will keep on being
|
||||||
|
integrated in future 1.20.x updates. The new '--log-personal-info' option
|
||||||
|
in the daemon allows to disable this feature completely.
|
||||||
|
** Added new filter match option for subsystem vendor id, required in several
|
||||||
|
PCI based Qualcomm modules.
|
||||||
|
** QCDM port probing will no longer automatically run for all plugins, only
|
||||||
|
in those that explicitly require it.
|
||||||
|
** Implemented support for suspend/resume detection based on ChromeOS' powerd
|
||||||
|
daemon.
|
||||||
|
** Added Cat-M and NB-IoT LPWA access technologies.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Modem interface:
|
||||||
|
** On 3GPP+3GPP2 multimode devices, a missing SIM card will now force the
|
||||||
|
modem into Failed state, as if it was a 3GPP-only device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Simple interface:
|
||||||
|
** Explicitly wait for PS domain to be attached during a connection attempt.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 3GPP interface:
|
||||||
|
** Updated to report domain registration changes altogether whenever possible
|
||||||
|
(e.g. when using the QMI or MBIM protocols).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* MBIM:
|
||||||
|
** Implemented support to use the Microsoft-defined MBIM extensions v2 and v3
|
||||||
|
whenever supported by the device. The ModemManager daemon will negotiate
|
||||||
|
which version to use with the modem, so that the highest version supported
|
||||||
|
is enabled. This negotiation applies to the whole device, so any other
|
||||||
|
user of the MBIM device will automatically start using the newly agreed
|
||||||
|
version.
|
||||||
|
** Implemented current modes switching using MBIMEx v2.0 extensions.
|
||||||
|
** Trigger explicit disconnection if a connection attempt fails.
|
||||||
|
** Modem will be flagged as unusable if 10 consecutive MBIM requests timeout.
|
||||||
|
** Enabled multiplex support for devices in the WWAN subsystem.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* QMI:
|
||||||
|
** Updated logic to by default prefer 'Signal Info' over the deprecated
|
||||||
|
'Signal Strength' operations.
|
||||||
|
** Updated logic to by default prefer 'System Info' over the deprecated
|
||||||
|
'Serving System' operations.
|
||||||
|
** Updated power state transition logic to ensure the new state is reached
|
||||||
|
before returning success to the user.
|
||||||
|
** Implemented support for the 'Modem3gppProfileManager.Updated' signal using
|
||||||
|
PDC refresh notifications.
|
||||||
|
** Modem will be flagged as unusable if 10 consecutive QMI requests timeout.
|
||||||
|
** Implemented DTMF support.
|
||||||
|
** Implemented support for automatic SIM IMSI switch detection under certain
|
||||||
|
roaming scenarios.
|
||||||
|
** Updated the logic to move the PS domain state to 'registered' based on the
|
||||||
|
DSD System Status indications.
|
||||||
|
** Updated endpoint type detection logic to be based on the net driver.
|
||||||
|
** Updated endpoint number selection to be based on the data port.
|
||||||
|
** Updated connection logic to allocate separate WDS clients per endpoint.
|
||||||
|
** Added support for PCO reporting.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* plugins:
|
||||||
|
** quectel: Added FCC unlock support for the EM05-G.
|
||||||
|
** telit: Band management updated to prefer using QMI whenever available, as
|
||||||
|
well as to detect the #BND command format automatically.
|
||||||
|
** telit: Added support for LPWA modems.
|
||||||
|
** fibocom: Implemented optional support to power down and up the modem
|
||||||
|
during the update of the initial EPS bearer settings.
|
||||||
|
** fibocom: Implemented initial EPS bearer settings management in the MA510.
|
||||||
|
** intel: New generic plugin for Intel PCI devices with vid 0x8086.
|
||||||
|
** xmm: Prefer GNSS control ports explicitly tagged via udev tags.
|
||||||
|
** foxconn: Use the new FOX QMI service to load firmware version.
|
||||||
|
** cinterion: Added support for PCIe based devices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
