=============================================
NetworkManager-1.36
NetworkManager-1.36-rc1
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.34
=============================================
This is a snapshot of NetworkManager development. The API is
subject to change and not guaranteed to be compatible with
the later release.
This is a release candidate. The API is subject to change
and not guaranteed to be compatible with the later release.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE!
* rework IP configuration code to make it more independent from
NMDevice.
* Drop "configure-and-quit" mode and nm-iface-helper.
* The handling of Layer 3 configurations has been substantially reworked.
While this is mostly internal change, it results in more robust
behavior when addressing information from multiple sources (DHCP,
manually configured, VPN) need to be applied simultaneously.
Overall performance and memory use have also slightly improved.
* Manually configured addresses can no longer expire even if the same
addresses are also obtained dynamically.
* Code for systemd-based DHCP and DHCPv6 clients has been updated from
upstream.
* NTP servers obtained via DHCPv6 are now exposed on the DBus API, visible
in nmcli and available for use by dispatcher scripts.
* 5G NR (New Radio) modems are now supported.
* The "rd.znet_ifnames" kernel command line option is now honored on
network bootups on an IBM s390 platform.
* Wi-Fi P2P support dows now work with the IWD backend, in addition to
wpa_supplicant backend.
* Routes managed by routing daemons are now ignored. This is done to
address a performance bottleneck on specialized routers.
* It is now possible to start NetworkManager without root user privileges.
This is experimental doesn't necessarily result in a working daemon.
NetworkManager service already drops many of capabilities available
to the root user.
* WPA3 Wi-FI network security have been improved by enabling new H2E (hash
to element) method for generating SAE password element.
* It is now possible to select the default Wi-Fi backend (wpa_supplicant or
IWD) at build-time.
* Replies from broken DHCP servers that send duplicate address or mask
options are now handled gracefully.
* Bridge support has gained the possibility of turning off MAC ageing.
* "configure-and-quit" mode and nm-iface-helper have been removed.
It is likely that some of these changes have been or will be included in
1.34.x stable releases. This section will be updated to reflect that in
the 1.36.0 release.
