USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE!
* Add support for route type "throw".
* Wi-Fi hotspots will use a (stable) random channel number unless one is
chosen manually.
* Add new dummy crypto backend "null" that does nothing. We need a
crypto library for handling certificates for 802.1x profiles.
* NetworkManager will no longer advertise frequencies as supported when
they're disallowed in configured regulatory domain.
* Attempt to connect to WEP-encrypted Wi-Fi network will now fail
gracefully with a recent version of wpa_supplicant when built
without WEP support. As long as wpa_supplicant supports WEP,
NetworkManager will continue to work.
* Disable WPA3 transition mode for wifi.key-mgmt=wpa-psk if the NIC
does not support PMF. This is known to cause problems in some setups. It
is still possible to explicitly configure wifi.key-mgmt=sae for WPA3.
* Add new dummy crypto backend "null" that does nothing. NetworkManager
uses the crypto library when handling certificates for 802.1x profiles.
* Veth devices with name "eth*" are now managed by default via the
udev rule. This is to support managing the network in LXD containers.
* The hostname received from DHCP is now shortened to the first dot

* As the insecure WEP encryption for Wi-Fi network is phased out,
nmcli now discourages its use when activating or modifying a
profile.
* Attempt to connect to WEP-encrypted Wi-Fi network will now fail
gracefully with a recent version of wpa_supplicant when built
without WEP support.
* NetworkManager will no longer advertise frequencies as supported when
they're disallowed in configured regulatory domain.
* Fix connectivity checks in case the check endpoint address resolves to
multiple addresses.
* Workaround libcurl blocking NetworkManager while resolving DNS names.
* nmcli: indicate missing Wi-Fi hardware when showing rfkill setting.
* nmcli: add connection migrate command to move a profile to a specified
settings plugin. This allows to convert profiles in the deprecated ifcfg-rh
format to keyfile.
* Updated translations.
* Various bugfixes and internal improvements.
The following changes were backported to 1.36.x releases between 1.36.0
and 1.36.4 are also present in NetworkManager-1.38:
