In libnm, we prefer opaque typedefs. gtk-doc needs to be patched to properly
generate documentation. Add a check for that.
Add a test. By default, this does not fail but just prints a warning. The test
can be made failing by setting NMTST_CHECK_GTK_DOC=1.

(cherry picked from commit 02464c052e)
There are two aspects: the public crypto API that is provided by
"nm-crypto.h" header, and the internal header which crypto backends
need to implement. Split them.
Add a new 'match' setting containing properties to match a connection
to devices. At the moment only the interface-name property is present
and, contrary to connection.interface-name, it allows the use of
wildcards.
Note that in NetworkManager API (D-Bus, libnm, and nmcli),
the features are called "feature-xyz". The "feature-" prefix
is used, because NMSettingEthtool possibly will gain support
for options that are not only -K|--offload|--features, for
example -C|--coalesce.
The "xzy" suffix is either how ethtool utility calls the feature
("tso", "rx"). Or, if ethtool utility specifies no alias for that
feature, it's the name from kernel's ETH_SS_FEATURES ("tx-tcp6-segmentation").
If possible, we prefer ethtool utility's naming.
Also note, how the features "feature-sg", "feature-tso", and
"feature-tx" actually refer to multiple underlying kernel features
at once. This too follows what ethtool utility does.
The functionality is not yet implemented server-side.
Shared libraries built with sanitizers are a bit inconvenient to use
because they require that any application linking to them is run with
libasan preloaded using LD_PRELOAD. This limitation makes the
sanitizer support less useful because applications will refuse to
start unless there is a special environment variable set.
Let's turn the --enable-address-sanitizer configure flag into
--with-address-sanitizer=yes|no|exec so that is possible to enable
asan only for executables.
We commonly only allow tabs at the beginning of a line, not
afterwards. The reason for this style is so that the code
looks formated right with tabstop=4 and tabstop=8.
It already defaults to the right value. We only need to define
NM_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED, so that parts of our internal build
can make use of deprecated API.
We don't need to have two version defines "CUR" and "NEXT".
The main purpose of these macros (if not their only), is to
make NM_AVAILABLE_IN_* and NM_DEPRECATED_IN_* macros work.
1) At the precise commit of a release, "CUR" and "NEXT" must be identical,
because whenever the user configures NM_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED and
NM_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED, then they both compare against the current
version, at which point "CUR" == "NEXT".
2) Every other commit aside the release, is a development version that leads
up the the next coming release. But as far as versioning is concerned, such
a development version should be treated like that future release. It's unstable
API and it may or may not be close to later API of the release. But
we shall treat it as that version. Hence, also in this case, we want to
set both "NM_VERSION_CUR_STABLE" and again NEXT to the future version.
This makes NM_VERSION_NEXT_STABLE redundant.
Previously, the separation between current and next version would for
example allow that NM_VERSION_CUR_STABLE is the previously release
stable API, and NM_VERSION_NEXT_STABLE is the version of the next upcoming
stable API. So, we could allow "examples" to make use of development
API, but other(?) internal code still restrict to unstable API. But it's
unclear which other code would want to avoid current development.
Also, the points 1) and 2) were badly understood. Note that for our
previousy releases, we usually didn't bump the macros at the stable
release (and if we did, we didn't set them to be the same). While using
two macros might be more powerful, it is hard to grok and easy to
forget to bump the macros a the right time. One macro shall suffice.
All this also means, that *immediately* after making a new release, we shall
bump the version number in `configure.ac` and "NM_VERSION_CUR_STABLE".
The strings holding the names used for libraries have also been
moved to different variables. This way they would be less error
as these variables can be reused easily and any typing error
would be quickly detected.
Although it is possible to generate distributable files on meson
since version 0.41 by using the `ninja dist` command, autotools does
different things that end up creating a different distributable
file.
meson build files have been added to autotools build files as
distributable files, so the whole meson port would also be
distributed.

This speeds up the initial object tree load significantly. Also, it
reduces the object management complexity by shifting the duties to
GDBusObjectManager.
The lifetime of all NMObjects is now managed by the NMClient via the
object manager. The NMClient creates the NMObjects for GDBus objects,
triggers the initialization and serves as an object registry (replaces
the nm-cache).
The ObjectManager uses the o.fd.DBus.ObjectManager API to learn of the
object creation, removal and property changes. It takes care of the
property changes so that we don't have to and lets us always see a
consistent object state. Thus at the time we learn of a new object we
already know its properties.
The NMObject unfortunately can't be made synchronously initializable as
the NMRemoteConnection's settings are not managed with standard
o.fd.DBus Properties and ObjectManager APIs and thus are not known to
the ObjectManager. Thus most of the asynchronous object property
changing code in nm-object.c is preserved. The objects notify the
properties that reference them of their initialization in from their
init_finish() methods, thus the asynchronously created objects are not
allowed to fail creation (or the dependees would wait forever). Not a
problem -- if a connection can't get its Settings, it's either invisible
or being removed (presumably we'd learn of the removal from the object
manager soon).
The NMObjects can't be created by the object manager itself, since we
can't determine the resulting object type in proxy_type() yet (we can't
tell from the name and can't access the interface list). Therefore the
GDBusObject is coupled with a NMObject later on.
Lastly, now that all the objects are managed by the object manager, the
NMRemoteSettings and NMManager go away when the daemon is stopped. The
complexity of dealing with calls to NMClient that would require any of
the resources that these objects manage (connection or device lists,
etc.) had to be moved to NMClient. The bright side is that his allows
for removal all of the daemon presence tracking from NMObject.
nm-core-types.h and nm-types.h contain the actual definition of types
and gtk-doc won't generate a "Implemented interfaces" section if they
are not included.

For internal compilation we want to be able to use deprecated
API without warnings.
Define the version min/max macros to effectively disable deprecation
warnings.
However, don't do it via CFLAGS option in the makefiles, instead hack it
to "nm-default.h". After all, *every* source file that is for internal
compilation needs to include this header as first.
This shall contain type definitions, with similar use
to "nm-core-internal.h".
However, it should contain a minimal set, so that we can include this
header in other headers under "src/", without including the whole
"nm-core-internal.h" in headers.
After copying "nm-vpn-plugin-old.*" to "nm-vpn-service-plugin.*",
rename the class and add it to the Makefile.
This will become the new VPN Service API for libnm 1.2. No changes
done yet except renaming of the classes and functions.
Rename the previous classes NMVpnPlugin(Old) to NMVpnServicePlugin
to have a distinct name from NMVpnEditorPlugin. Buth are plugins, but
with a different use.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749951
Add functions nm_utils_enum_to_str() and nm_utils_enum_from_str()
which can be used to perform conversions between enum values and
strings, passing the GType automatically generated for every enum by
glib-mkenums.
Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.
So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.
For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.
nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)
Update the docs build to include and exclude the correct files.
Fill in some missing documentation, and fix problems in the existing
docs. (In particular, "<" can't appear as a literal in documentation,
so change it to "<". Also, "PKCS#12" has to be written as
"PKCS#<!-- -->12", or gtk-doc will think "#12" is a reference to a
type named "12".)
Create NMIPConfig as the parent of NMIP4Config and NMIP6Config, and
remove the two subclasses from the public API; while it's convenient
to still have both internally, they are now identical to the outside
world.
Merge NMIP4Address and NMIP6Address into NMIPAddress, and NMIP4Route
and NMIP6Route into NMIPRoute. The new types represent IP addresses as
strings, rather than in binary, and so are address-family agnostic.
Rename libnm's NMVpnPlugin to NMVpnPluginOld, in preparation for
having a new-and-improved NMVpnPlugin in NM 1.2. Also remove it from
NM-1.0.gir.
Make nm-vpn-plugin-old.h be separately includable, since it's not
included from NetworkManager.h, and we probably don't want it to be.
Remove NMVpnPlugin, NMVpnPluginUiInterface, and nm-vpn-plugin-utils
from the docs, since they're basically undocumented anyway.
Port libnm-core/libnm to GDBus.
The NetworkManager daemon continues to use dbus-glib; the
previously-added connection hash/variant conversion methods are now
moved to NetworkManagerUtils (along with a few other utilities that
are now only needed by the daemon code).
In preparation for porting to GDBus, make nm_connection_to_dbus(),
etc, represent connections as GVariants of type 'a{sa{sv}}' rather
than as GHashTables-of-GHashTables-of-GValues.
This means we're constantly converting back and forth internally, but
this is just a stepping stone on the way to the full GDBus port, and
all of that code will go away again later.
There's not much point in keeping them separate: all existing
libnm-glib-vpn users also link against libnm-glib, and the amount of
extra code added to libnm by merging in libnm-vpn is negligible.
Additionally, nm-vpn-plugin will later need access to some
libnm-internal APIs.
So, merge them together.
The docs for NMIP4Config:addresses and NMIP4Config:routes claimed that
they were GPtrArrays of NMIP4Address/NMIP4Route, but get_property()
was actually trying to set them the D-Bus representation type, and it
was failing anyway because it used g_value_set_boxed() on a parameter
that was declared GParamSpecPointer. Fix it to use a GPtrArray-valued
property, and set it to the right thing.
NMIP6Config did the right thing with its :addresses and :routes
properties, but was using custom types (NM_TYPE_IP6_ADDRESS_OBJECT_ARRAY and
NM_TYPE_IP6_ROUTE_OBJECT_ARRAY). Make it use G_TYPE_PTR_ARRAY instead.
nm-types.c, nm-types.h, and nm-types-private.h are now empty, and so
can be dropped.
Add a header file to expose private utility functions from libnm-core
that can be used by NetworkManager (core) and libnm.so. The header
is also used to give privileged access to libnm-core. Since NM links
statically, these functions are not exported and not part of public ABI.
This also removes the NM_UTILS_PRIVATE_CALL() macro and libnm.so no
longer exports nm_utils_get_private().
Before, this functionality was partly declared in nm-utils-private.h.
This was wrong because nm-utils-private.h is for functionality
entirely private to libnm-core.
