NetworkManager-1.5.2 (Development Snapshot)
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.4
============================================
This is a snapshot of NetworkManager 1.6 development series.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE!
Notable changes included in this snapshot so far include:
* Introduced Vala bindings for libnm.
* NetworkManager would now keep most connections up on shutdown (except Wi-Fi
connections, VPN connections and other kinds that can't be assumed on
startup)
* The checkpoint/restore connection can now also remove new connections and
disconnect devices that were activated since the checkpoint was taken.
* The configuration is now read from /run/NetworkManager/conf.d as well.
This is useful for handing over configuration discovered on system
startup to NetworkManager.
* New connection.autoconnect_retries property that allows fine-tuning
the autoconnect behavior.
* Support for configuration and discovery of Web Proxy settings with
PacRunner service.
* Support for systemd-resolved local DNS forwarder backend.
* Fix emission of NM-style PropertiesChanged signals and deprecate them
for PropertiesChanged on "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" interface.
* Change the meaning of unset "cloned-mac-address" settings from "permanent" to
"preserve". This changes the default value and affects existing connections
during upgrade that did not explicitly configure cloned-mac-address. This
has the effect that externally configured MAC addresses are preserved
by default instead of setting the permanent address (bgo#770611).
