USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE! +* Introduce a new "link" setting that holds properties related to the + kernel link such as "tx-queue-length", "gso-max-size", + "gso-max-segments", "gro-max-size". +* Support sending a DHCPv6 prefix delegation hint via the + "ipv6.dhcp-pd-hint" connection property. +* Support new bond options: "arp_missed_max", "lacp_active", + "ns_ip6_target". +* Add new "initial-eps-bearer-configure" and "initial-eps-bearer-apn" + properties in the GSM setting. * Setting "connection.stable-id=default${CONNECTION}" changed behavior to be identical to the built-in default value when the stable-id is not set. -* When configuring hostnames in non-public TLD (like "example.local"), use - the TLD as default search domain instead of the full hostname. * Add a "[keyfile].rename" option to NetworkManager.conf to force renaming profiles on disk when their name changes. +* The ifcfg-rh plugin is deprecated; it will only receive bugfixes and + no new features. A warning is emitted the log when a connection in + ifcfg-rh format is found. +* To automatically migrate existing ifcfg-rh connections to the + keyfile format, a new configuration option "main.migrate-ifcfg-rh" + is provided. Migration is disabled by default, but the default value + can be changed at build time via + "--with-config-migrate-ifcfg-rh-default=yes". +* When configuring hostnames in non-public TLD (like "example.local"), use + the TLD as default search domain instead of the full hostname. +* Always apply DNS options from the [global-dns] configuration section +* The NetworkManager daemon now acquires the D-Bus name only after + populating the D-Bus tree. This can add a delay during startup but + it is required to avoid race conditions with other services + depending on NM. +* Add a "version-id" argument to the Update2() D-Bus call to guard + against concurrent modifications of profiles. +* Don't use tentative IPv6 addresses to resolve the system hostname + via DNS. +* Track the number of autoconnect retries left for each device and + connection. Previously it was tracked only per connection and this + lead to unexpected behaviors in case of multiconnect profiles. +* Set VLAN filtering options on bridge via netlink instead of sysfs. +* nm-cloud-setup now supports IMDSv2 on Amazon EC2. +* nmtui now allows to enable or disable Wi-Fi and WWAN radios. +* Honor ignore-carrier=no for bond/bridge/team devices. + +The following changes were backported to 1.42.x releases between 1.42.0 +and 1.42.8, and are also present in NetworkManager-1.44: + +- 1.42.8 +* Support compiling against pppd 2.5.0. +* Support the "prio" option for bond ports. +* Better handle non-full-membership PKEY_ID with new PKEY_ID_NM + variable in ifcfg-rh files. + +- 1.42.2 +* Add new "ipv[46].replace-local-rule" connection property that allows + users to remove the autogenerated local route rule. By default, + NetworkManager won't touch the local route rule. +* Introduce a new D-Bus property "Controller" in the ActiveConnection + object, and deprecated the existing "Master" property. ============================================= NetworkManager-1.42
