It results in a rather confusing behavior:
# nmcli c modify wifi \
802-1x.private-key /etc/pki/themostsecret.key \
802-1x.private-key-password verystrong
Error: failed to modify 802-1x.private-key: private key
password not provided.
Moreover, the user might have a good reason for not specifying it on a command
liue and it's not strictly required anyway -- we'll do fine if we don't verify
a private key at addition time.
It helps listing or searching for slave connections. For example, one can do
$ nmcli -f name,uuid,type,slave connection show | awk '$NF == "bridge"'
to show all bridge slave connections.
We now require settings-docs.c to be present. Either, configure
with --enable-gtk-doc to have it build, or use the pre-generated file
from the source tarball.
Also, be a bit more careful about the layers of errors. Just don't do this:
(process:236): nmcli-CRITICAL **: Error: Could not create NMClient object:
Permissions request failed: Authorization check failed:
The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files.
The numeric value of NM_SETTING_PROXY_METHOD_NONE should be zero,
as that is the more natural default.
Also, cast all uses of the enum values in g_object_set() to
(int).
libnm-core: pac-script property in NMSettingProxy now represents the
script itself not the location. It ensures that the connection is
self contained.
nmcli: Supports loading of PAC Script via file path or written explicitly.
Unnecessary APIs have been removed from nm-setting-proxy, client like
nm-connection-editor are expected to create a PAC script snippet the load
the location of file in NM.
The team-config must be valid utf-8. First of all, JSON
is also defined for other unicode encodings, but libjansson
can only handle utf-8. So, just require that.
A file with a '\0' truncates part of the file and is thus
invalid.
nmcli has a heuristic when setting the team-config to accepting both
a filename or the plain json text.
Add support for two schemes "file://" and "json://" to explicitly
determine whether to read from file or from json.
Also, no longer silently ignore an all-whitespace word. That is an
error (unless you have a file named " ").
Also, no longer replace newlines with space. Don't mangle the input
text at all.
Currently the editor runs in a dedicated thread so that the blocking
call to readline() doesn't stop the processing of D-Bus events in the
main loop. The editor thread can access objects concurrently with the
main thread and this can cause races and crashes.
Remove the editor thread and use the non-blocking readline API.

Since commit ac888de151 ("cli/connections: fail the activation when
the active connection disappears") we rely only on the disappearing of
the active-connection to determine the failure of an activation.
libnm can collapse a 'added' and a 'removed' signal if they are
received closer enough and thus we may miss the removal of the active
connection. Restore the detection of failure based on
active-connection state.
The error returned to users when a load_connection(s)/set_logging call
fails due to D-Bus policy denial is a bit obscure:
$ nmcli general logging level debug
Error: failed to set logging: Rejected send message, 4 matched rules;
type="method_call", sender=":1.233" (uid=1001 pid=27225 comm="nmcli
general logging level debug ")
interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" member="SetLogging" error
name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.207" (uid=0
pid=25793 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon ")
Convert it to a more comprehensible:
$ nmcli general logging level debug
Error: failed to set logging: access denied
