NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE! -* nmcli: allow changing "connection.uuid" and "connection.type" - in offline mode and setting the UUID when creating a connection. -* nmcli: accept abbreviations for the UUID with the connection selector - in `nmcli connection $operator uuid $uuid`. -* nmtui now supports editing Wi-Fi WPA-Enterprise, Ethernet with 802.1X - authentication and MACsec connection profiles. * bond: add "balance-slb" option which implements source load balancing with "balance-xor" mode and "vlan-srcmac" xmit_hash_policy. In this mode, NetworkManager configures nftables to prevent loops in the switch. * dns: support specifying DNS-over-TLS server name (SNI) for static name servers. Only works with systemd-resolved plugin. -* Add support of loopback interface and a new connection type "loopback". On D-Bus, - the loopback interface now has the "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Loopback" - interface instead of org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Generic". - Loopback handling is special in that when the NetworkManager profile is - deactivated, the interfaces will still be up and configured with a 127.0.0.1 - address. +* loopback: add support of loopback interface and a new connection type + "loopback". On D-Bus, the loopback interface now has the + "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Loopback" interface instead of + "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Generic". Loopback handling is special + in that when the NetworkManager profile is deactivated, the interfaces will + still be up and configured with a 127.0.0.1 address. +* Add support of IPv4 ECMP routes. The ECMP routes will get merged + automatically but the user need to configure them as single-hop routes + specifying a valid weight. +* Add support of VTI and VTI6 ip-tunnels. Add a new property "ip-tunnel.fwmark". +* vlan: add support of "vlan.protocol" property to set 802.1Q (default) or + 802.1ad. +* firewall: pass "--wait 2" to iptables invocations to handle races with concurrent + calls. This fixes misbehavior with IPv4 shared mode. +* DHCP: expose used DHCPV4 client-id and DHCPv6 DUID in lease information. +* VPN: support new "ipv[46].auto-route-ext-gw" option to suppress adding direct + route to external VPN gateway. +* ovs: add support of "ovs-dpdk.n-rxq-desc", "ovs-dpdk.n-txq-desc", + "ovs-interface.ofport-request" and "ovs-port.trunks" properties. +* Add support of "other_config" for OVS bridge, port or interface. This + property is not supported by nmcli. +* nmtui now supports editing Wi-Fi WPA-Enterprise, Ethernet with 802.1X + authentication and MACsec connection profiles. +* nmcli: allow changing "connection.uuid" and "connection.type" + in offline mode and setting the UUID when creating a connection. +* nmcli: accept abbreviations for the UUID with the connection selector + in `nmcli connection $operator uuid $uuid`. +* Many internal improvements and bug fixes. + +The following changes were backported to 1.40.x releases between 1.40.0 +and 1.40.10 are also present in NetworkManager-1.42: + +- 1.40.10 + +* Fix the evaluation of the autoconnect retries. +* nm-cloud-setup now preserves addresses added externally. +* Ensure that dnsmasq is stopped after changing the dns backend and + restarting the service. +* Fix honoring an explicit DHCPv6 DUID with dhclient. +* Other various fixes. + +- 1.40.8 + +* Fixed a bug that caused devices (MACsec in particular) to be stuck in + UNAVAILABLE state and not transition to DISCONNECTED if the carrier was + ready too early. +* Improved interoperability of MACsec with some Aruba switches by allowing + CKN shorter than 64 characters. +* Fixed an assertion failure when restarting NetworkManager with MACsec + links configured. +* Fixed a possible DHCP helper crash when handling failure to connect to + D-Bus. +* Corrected calculation of expiration time for items configured from IPv6 + neighbor discovery messages. +* Various fixes for platforms that don't allow unaligned memory access. + +- 1.40.6 + +* team: also set empty port configuration so teamd + knows about the port. +* team: restore port configuration after teamd respawn. + +- 1.40.4 + +* dhcp: revert restarting DHCP when MAC address changes, + for example during a bond fail over. +* various documentation fixes. +* fix non-exported ABI in libnm which was wrongly present + in the header files but unusable so far. +* ifcfg-rh: fix writing ethtool pause settings to file. +* core: set "proto static" for manual routing rules configured + by NetworkManager. +* Various minor bugfixes. + +- 1.40.2 + +* Ensure that resolv.conf gets updated when the configuration changes. +* Fix setting as bond primary an interface that doesn't exist yet when the + bond is activated. +* The number of autoconnect retries is now accounted independently for each + device when there are profiles with multi-connect=multiple. +* Don't print duplicate entries in the output of "NetworkManager + --print-config" +* Fix the ifcfg-rh plugin to properly read infiniband P-Key connection + profiles without an explicit interface name. +* Allow the removal of a bond port connection profile from the bond via + nmcli. +* Fix race condition during the activation of veth profiles when the peer + already exists. +* Decline the DHCPv6 lease if all addresses fail IPv6 duplicate address + detection (DAD). +* Wait that devices get carrier before trying to resolve the system hostname + on them via DNS. +* Fix race condition during the initial activation of OVS interfaces. +* Profiles generated by nm-initrd-generator now have lower than default + priority. +* Fix error when adding many SR-IOV virtual functions (VFs). ============================================= NetworkManager-1.40
