It can be used to display connection secrets (passwords). When used, it will
get secrets for the connection profile and merge it into the connection's
settings before displaying it.
Example:
nmcli con show -s hotel-wifi
libnm mostly used GPtrArrays in its APIs, except that arrays of
connections were usually GSLists. Fix this and make them GPtrArrays
too (and rename nm_client_list_connections() to
nm_client_get_connections() to match everything else).
Only default (infrastructure) mode connections can be created and as it's not
possible to write mode=ap connections with ifcfg-rh plugins, they can't be
switched to mode=ap.
Consolidate NMClientError and NMObjectError (such that there is now
only one libnm-API-specific error domain). In particular, merge
NM_CONNECTION_ERROR_CONNECTION_REMOVED with
NM_OBJECT_ERROR_OBJECT_CREATION_FAILURE as the new
NM_CONNECTION_ERROR_OBJECT_CREATION_FAILED.
Also make object_creation_failed() be a plain method rather than a
signal, since there's no reason for anyone to be connecting to it on
another object. And remove its GError argument because the subclass
can just create its own more-specific error.
Move the definition of NMSecretAgentError to nm-errors, register it
with D-Bus, and verify in the tests that it maps correctly.
NM_SECRET_AGENT_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR is renamed to
NM_SECRET_AGENT_ERROR_FAILED, and NM_SECRET_AGENT_ERROR_NOT_AUTHORIZED
to NM_SECRET_AGENT_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED, for consistency with other
error domains. While NMSecretAgentError, unlike most other error
domains, has always been correctly mapped across D-Bus, the renaming
is not an ABI break, because the daemon never checks for either of
those values, so all versions of the daemon will treat
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.SecretAgent.InternalError" and
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.SecretAgent.Failed" the same (by just
ignoring the error name and keeping only the error message).
Move the definition of NMManagerError to nm-errors, register it with
D-Bus, and verify in the tests that it maps correctly.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_INTERNAL gets renamed to NM_MANAGER_ERROR_FAILED for
consistency. NM_MANAGER_ERROR_UNMANAGED_DEVICE is dropped since that
name doesn't really describe the one place it was previously used in.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_SYSTEM_CONNECTION is dropped because it was't being
used. NM_MANAGER_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_CONNECTION_TYPE is dropped because
it can be replaced with an NM_CONNECTION_ERROR.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_AUTOCONNECT_NOT_ALLOWED is turned into the more
generic NM_MANAGER_ERROR_CONNECTION_NOT_AVAILABLE.
Also, remove the <tp:possible-errors> sections from nm-manager.xml,
since they were completely out of date.
Later _nmcli_compl_ARGS() wants to check $OPTIONS_TYPE to behave differently
depending on the type. As we accept abbreviations of $OPTIONS_TYPE, let's normalize
the value, so that we don't have to consider abbrevations later on.

* two users are logged in: user_a and user_b
* user_b creates a connection visible only to him 'user_b_private'
(permissions: user:user_b)
* user_b activates the connection user_b_private

PPPoE connections involve two different network connections, making it
ambiguous what the "Device" field refers to. Clarify that it refers to
the Ethernet device, not the PPP device.
NMActiveConnection:connection was an object path rather than an
NMRemoteConnection because in the past the NMObject property system
wasn't capable of handling NMRemoteConnection-valued properties.
NMActiveConnection:master was an object path rather than an NMDevice
entirely by accident. Fix both.
NMActiveConnection:specific-object can't currently be converted to an
object, because we don't know ahead of time what object type it is,
and NMObject can't deal with that. Instead, we rename it to
:specific-object-path (and likewise for its get function), both to
emphasize that it doesn't behave like other properties, and to leave
the old name open for an actual object-valued property later on.
If a master is deleted but its slaves are left behind, show those
slaves in the appropriate part of the connection list, so they can be
deleted. (This code is just copied from nm-connection-editor.)
nmt_newt_grid_size_allocate() depends on nmt_newt_grid_size_request()
having been called immediately prior, which would normally be true,
except that NmtNewtSection adjusts the label widgets in its border to
match its allocation, so when its size changes, it will end up calling
size_allocate() on the border with out-of-date requisition data. Fix
that by re-size_requesting the border after modifying it.

NMSettingSerial:parity was defined as a char-typed property that could
have the (case-sensitive!) values 'n', 'E', or 'o'. This is zany. Add
an NMSettingSerialParity enum, and use that instead.
Add nm_utils_wifi_strength_bars(), which figures out whether the
terminal can display graphical wifi strength bars, and converts a
numerical value to the appropriate Unicode or ASCII characters.
This also now takes into consideration the fact that the console font
doesn't contain all of the necessary characters, so we can't display
the graphical bars there. (rh #1131491)
Use g_print() and g_printerr(), which wrap printf() and
fprintf(stderr,...), but handle conversion from UTF-8 if the locale is
using a different character set.
Make synchronous APIs take GCancellables, and make asynchronous APIs
use GAsyncReadyCallbacks and have names ending in "_async", with
"_finish" functions to retrieve the results.
Also, make nm_client_activate_connection_finish(),
nm_client_add_and_activate_finish(), and
nm_remote_settings_add_connection_finish() be (transfer full) rather
than (transfer none), because the refcounting semantics become
slightly confusing in some edge cases otherwise.
