NetworkManager-1.20
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.18
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a snapshot of NetworkManager 1.20 development series.
|
|
The API is subject to change and not guaranteed to be compatible
|
|
with the later release.
|
|
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE!
|
|
|
|
* The libnm-glib library, deprecated in favor of libnm since NetworkManager 1.0,
|
|
and disabled by default since NetworkManager 1.12 has now been removed.
|
|
* The DHCP client now defaults to "internal". The default can be overriden
|
|
at build time by using the --with-config-dhcp-default option of the
|
|
configure script or at run time by setting the main.dhcp option in the
|
|
configuration file.

NetworkManager-1.18
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.16
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:
|
|
|
|
* Add support for policy routing rules.
|
|
* Add support for VLAN filtering for Linux bridge.
|
|
* Support ieee-802-1 and ieee-802-3 LLDP TLVs.
|
|
* Allow large MTU sizes for infiniband/IPoIB connection profiles.
|
|
* Improve nmcli's handling of list options for connection properties.
|
|
|

|
|
NetworkManager-1.16
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.14
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:
|
|
|
|
* Check connectivity per address family.
|
|
* Support "main.systemd-resolved" to let NetworkManager configure DNS settings
|
|
in systemd-resolved without making it the main DNS plugin of NetworkManager.
|
|
* Write "/var/run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf" with original nameservers.
|
|
That is useful with caching DNS plugins like "systemd-resolved" or "dnsmasq" where
|
|
"/var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf" refers to localhost.
|
|
* Change default "ipv4.dhcp-client-id" setting for the internal DHCP plugin from
|
|
"duid" to "mac". This is a change in behavior on upgrade when using the internal
|
|
DHCP plugin (unless the default is overwritten in "NetworkManager.conf" or specified
|
|
per connection profile).
|
|
* Improve handling of DHCP router options with internal DHCP plugin. For one, accept
|
|
multiple routers and add a default-route to each. On D-Bus expose the original DNS
|
|
and NTP servers without cleaning up local nameservers.
|
|
* Allow binding a connections lifetime to the DBus client that activated it.
|
|
* Add support for establishing Wi-Fi Direct connections (Wi-Fi P2P).
|
|
* Add support for WireGuard VPN tunnels to NetworkManager. D-Bus API and libnm
|
|
support all options. nmcli supports creating and managing WireGuard profiles,
|
|
with the exception of configuring and showing peers.
|
|
* Add initrd generator to be used by dracut and use it as new way of handling
|
|
iBFT.
|
|
* Deprecated "plugins.monitor-connection-files" setting in NetworkManager.conf.
|
|
This option will have no effect in future versions.
|
|
* Add AP and Ad-hoc support for iwd Wi-Fi backend.
|
|
* Warn about invalid settings in "NetworkManager.conf".
|
|
* Support announcing "ANDROID_METERED" DHCP option for shared mode.
|
|
* Support SAE authentication as used for 802.11s Meshing and WPA3-Personal.
|
|
* NetworkManager is no longer installed as D-Bus activatable service.
|
|
* Mark docker bridges as unmanaged via udev rule.
|
|
* Add new PolicyKit permission "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan" for controlling
|
|
Wi-Fi scanning.
|
|
|
|
The following changes were backported to 1.14.x releases between 1.14.0
|
|
and 1.14.6 are also present in NetworkManager-1.14:
|
|
|
|
- 1.14.6:
|
|
* Fix memory corruption in internal DHCPv6 client (CVE-2018-15688).
|
|
* No longer limit number of search entries in resolv.conf to 6.
|
|
* Support restricting NetworkManager.conf device configuration based on used DHCP
|
|
plugin.
|
|
* Add "${MAC}" specifier for connection.stable-id. This uses the current MAC
|
|
address for seeding the stable generation of MAC address, DHCP client-id
|
|
or IPv6 stable-privacy interface identifier.
|
|
* Support special value "duid" for "ipv4.dhcp-client-id". This generates an
|
|
RFC4361-compliant client-id like the internal DHCP client used to do by default.
|
|
Previously, there was no explicit name for such a client-id and it was not
|
|
usable with dhclient DHCP plugin. This also generates the same client-id as
|
|
systemd-networkd does by default.
|
|
* Support and use a new kind of secret-key in "/var/lib/NetworkManager/secret_key".
|
|
The secret-key represents the identity of the machine that is used for various
|
|
purposes like generating IPv6 stable privacy addresses. It is now combined
|
|
with "/etc/machine-id" so that changing only the machine-id results in new identifiers.
|
|
That matters for example when cloning a virtual machine. Previously, the user
|
|
hard to prune NetworkManager's secret-key to get a new identity, now regenerating
|
|
machine-id suffices. Secret-keys generated by earlier versions of NetworkManager are
|
|
not affected and keep their previous behavior.
|
|
* Fix the DHCP client-ids based on the MAC address of IPoIB/infiniband devices.
|
|
* Fix restoring IP configuration after interface went down.
|
|
* No longer let NetworkManager touch rp_filter setting. The rp_filter sysctl must now
|
|
be set outside of NetworkManager according to the admin's preference. Note that a strict
|
|
rp_filter may break valid use-cases and interacts badly with connectivity checking.
|
|
* Various bug fixes and improvements.
|
|
|
|
- 1.14.4:
|
|
* Fix a crash in nmcli when a device is removed while being disconnected.
|
|
* Fix a crash in ifupdown (Debian) configuration plugin.
|
|
* Fix a daemon crash when a generated connection doesn't validate.
|
|
* Fix a memory leak in dhclient DHCP plugin.
|
|
* Fix line editing in nmcli password prompts.
|
|
* Fix a RPATH in bluetooth and wwan plugin when built with Meson (otherwise
|
|
they wouldn't find libnm-wwan.so).
|
|
|
|
- 1.14.2:
|
|
* Fix a bug that could cause NetworkManager to crash after checking
|
|
connectivity status.
|
|
* Correctly apply a default (-1) metric from DHCP.
|
|
* Multiple fixes for IWD Wi-Fi backend.
|
|
* Multiple fixes for builds with Meson build system.
|
|
* Fix a crash with OLPC XO-1 mesh Wi-Fi.
|
|
* Fix handling "serial.parity" and "serial.send-delay" properties in nmcli.
|
|
* Improve auto-selecting device when activating a connection profile
|
|
and don't auto-select unmanaged devices when activating multi-connect
|
|
profile.
|
|
* Avoid expiring the lifetime of IPv6 addresses from router advertisements.
|
|

NetworkManager-1.14
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.12
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:
|
|
|
|
* Added support for IEEE 802.15.4 and 6LowPAN devices.
|
|
* Support activating profile multiple times via connection.multi-connect
|
|
setting.
|
|
* Add match setting to restrict a profile to devices based on
|
|
a list of interface names with globbing supported.
|
|
* Fix PrimaryConnection for VPN with default-route.
|
|
* Add support for ethtool offload features.
|
|
* Add support for configuring llmnr.
|
|
* Deprecate endian-dependent D-Bus API and add new API that can be
|
|
used instead (rh#1153559).
|
|
* Add support for ip6gre/ip6gretap IP tunnels.
|
|
* Add support for detecting WireGuard interfaces (WireGuard VPN cannot
|
|
be controlled via NetworkManager).
|
|
* Add support for configuring SR-IOV devices.
|
|
* Improve error reporting of activation when no device is available.
|
|
* Support reapplying changes of the route metric.
|
|
* Support EAP profiles with iwd Wi-Fi backend and support iwd API 0.8.
|
|
* Expose slaves of OVS bridges and ports.
|
|
|
|
The following changes were backported to 1.12.x releases between 1.12.0
|
|
and 1.12.2 are also present in NetworkManager-1.14:
|
|
|
|
* fix missing symbols in libnm ABI for settings.
|
|
|
|
=============================================
|
|
NetworkManager-1.12
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.10
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:
|
|
|
|
* Improved support for configuration checkpoint, including support in libnm.
|
|
* Added capability to set IP Tunnel configuration flags.
|
|
* The systemd-resolved DNS plugins now supports MDNS.
|
|
* systemd-resolved and dnsmasq DNS plugins now honor the DNS priority setting.
|
|
* Wi-Fi devices now support FILS for speedier roaming support.
|
|
* Drop dependency on libnl3 library.
|
|
* Add support for "onlink" routes.
|
|
* More robust connectivity checking.
|
|
* Dropped the obsolete "ifnet" settings plugin,
|
|
* Try harder to generate reasonable human-readable names for devices even if
|
|
the hwdb contains garbage.
|
|
* Add an "overview" option to hide default values in nmcli, resulting in more
|
|
concise output.
|
|
* Reworked the inner workings of D-Bus interface for better resource efficiency.
|
|
* Add support for configuring nmcli coloring via terminal-colors.d(5).
|
|
* Added experimental support for Meson build system,
|
|
* Added initial IWD Wi-Fi daemon support.
|
|
* A non-hexadecimal DHCPv4 client-id is now properly passed to
|
|
dhclient with the first byte (type) set to zero, as stated in the
|
|
documentation. This represents a change in behavior since previous
|
|
versions where the first character of the string was used as
|
|
type. The internal client is not affected by the change.
|
|
* DNS setting rc-manager=file now always follows dangling symlinks
|
|
instead of replacing /etc/resolv.conf with a plain file.
|
|
* Added wake_on_wlan connection setting to configure
|
|
wake-on-wireless-lan (WoWLAN).
|
|
* The libnm-glib library, deprecated in favor of libnm since NetworkManager 1.0,
|
|
is now not built by default. While it can still be enabled, the distributions
|
|
should have a good plan for removing it if they need to keep shipping it at
|
|
this point.
|
|
* nmcli now scans for Wi-Fi networks before displaying them, if the last scan
|
|
was too long ago.
|
|
* Added the ipv6.dhcp-duid property to allow configuring the DHCPv6 DUID
|
|
* Extended ipv6.dhcp-client-id property to support DHCP client identifiers
|
|
depending on the MAC address and the stable ID.
|
|
* Set NM_DISPATCHER_ACTION environment variable in dispatcher scripts.
|
|
|
|
The following features were backported to 1.10.x releases from 1.10.0 to
|
|
1.10.10 are also present in NetworkManager-1.12:
|
|
|
|
* Fix crash during reapply of connection settings
|
|
* Fix connectivity timeout handling (bgo #794464),
|
|
* Retry activating devices when the parent becomes managed (rh #1553595),
|
|
* Correctly set the rp_filter value (rh #1565529).
|
|
* A fix to ensure teamd is respawned after daemon restart (rh #1551958).
|
|
* Better handle DHCP expiry (bgo #783391).
|
|
* Fix configuration of IPv6 over master interfaces (rh #1575944).
|
|

|
|
* dhcp: retry indefinitely to renew the lease (rh #1503587).
|
|
* core: fix blocking autoconnect for no-secrets (rh #794014).
|
|
* libnm: mark async results as cancelled (bgo #794088).
|
|
* Load jansson at runtime. This solves a clash with json-glib that caused
|
|
a gnome-control-center crash, but also gets rid of a hard dependency.
|
|
* Correct nmcli exit values after receiving a signal.
|
|
* Fix libnm secret agent asynchronous initialization.
|
|
* Add a default route for a modem even if it didn't sent a gateway.
|
|
* Improve communication of DAD failures.
|
|
* Remember device default metrics across daemon restarts.
|
|
* Various bug fixes including possible crashes.
|
|
* Added support for 'onlink' IPv4 routes attribute.
|
|
* Wait longer for the carrier to come up after a MTU change.
|
|
* Implemented abstraction for team connections that exposes team
|
|
configuration items as distinct properties.
|
|
* Added basic support for tc queueing disciplines and filters.
|
|
* Introduced an Update2() D-Bus method to update connection settings
|
|
with more flexibility.
|
|
* Many bug fixes and improvements.

NetworkManager-1.10
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.8
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:
|
|
|
|
* NetworkManager includes now basic Open vSwitch support, good enough
|
|
to be capable of setting up simple Open vSwitch configurations.
|
|
* Added support for activating PPP connections on non-Ethernet
|
|
interfaces.
|
|
* It is now possible to authenticate to a Wi-Fi network using WPS
|
|
(Wi-Fi Protected Setup).
|
|
* Implemented support for Wi-Fi PMF (Protected Management Frames,
|
|
802.11w), which can be configured via the wifi-sec.pmf property.
|
|
* Now the maximum rate of wireless access points supporting 802.11 is
|
|
properly calculated and exposed on D-Bus.
|
|
* Background scanning is now disabled for non-WPA-Enterprise Wi-Fi
|
|
networks.
|
|
* Added support for the Bluetooth NAP (Network Access Point) profile.
|
|
* Added support for disabling connectivity checking via the D-Bus
|
|
interface.
|
|
* The internal DHCP client now understands the domain-search option.
|
|
* Bridge connections support the group-forward-mask property.
|
|
* NetworkManager can now configure multiple IPv6 default routes
|
|
received through RA and each gets configured with the announced
|
|
preference.
|
|
* It is possible to specify the routing table for each static route.
|
|
* Support specifying a explicit routing table for any non-static-route,
|
|
including routes from DHCP, device-routes, IPv6 autoconf.
|
|
* Device are left configured when a user sets them as unmanaged by
|
|
NetworkManager.
|
|
* New connection.auth-retry property to configure how often authentication
|
|
is prompted before failing the configuration.
|
|
* The platform code that handles synchronization with kernel status
|
|
via netlink has been reworked and is more efficient.
|
|
* Allowed the update of connections that have an associated ifcfg-rh
|
|
routing rules file.
|
|
* Non-UTF8 properties are now escaped when they are exported on D-Bus.
|
|
* NetworkManager-wait-online.service now starts NetworkManager.service
|
|
if needed.
|
|
* The MAC address for bond connections can be changed in nmtui.
|
|
* Fixed dependency problems when setting the MTU of VLAN and master
|
|
devices.
|
|
* The systemd-resolved DNS plugin properly handles the DNS priority
|
|
setting.
|

|
|
* Fixed some memory leaks.
|
|
* Many other bug fixes and improvements.
|
|
|
|
============================================
|
|
NetworkManager-1.8
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.6
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:
|
|
|
|
* Default routes set by devices that failed connectivity checks are now
|
|
penalized with a higher metric
|
|
* nmcli is now able to produce output more friendly for machine parsing
|
|
* The slaves available at the time a master connection is activated are
|
|
enslaved in a stable order, making the automatic MAC address for Bonding
|
|
devices more predictable.
|
|
* Hostname management is now more flexibly configured
|
|
* Support for additional route options (pref-src, src, tos, window, cwnd,
|
|
initcwnd, initrwnd, mtu, lock-window, lock-cwnd, lock-initcwnd, lock-initrwnd,
|
|
and lock-mtu).
|
|
* Fixed detection of EAP-FAST support in wpa_supplicant
|
|
* Support for handling PINs for PKCS#11 tokens as secrets
|
|
* GSM and CDMA connections now have a MTU property
|
|
* An option to disable selected TLS versions during EAP phase 1 authentication
|
|
* The 802.1x authentication timeout is now configurable to allow a faster
|
|
fallback to other connections
|
|
* Persist managed state of device until reboot. This improves seamless take over
|
|
of a previously managed device after restart of NetworkManager.
|
|
* Better handle devices that are externally managed by somebody else by
|
|
consistently generating an in-memory connection to reflect the external
|
|
state.
|
|
* Expose SRIOV capability of a device on D-Bus and support configuring the
|
|
number of virtual functions via NetworkManager.conf.
|
|
* Support matching networking devices via new "driver:" device spec in
|
|
NetworkManager.conf.
|
|
* Introduced support for creating and managing dummy links
|
|
* The teaming devices now support setting a hardcoded MAC address
|
|
* Settings of bonding devices can now be modified on-the-fly, without the
|
|
need to reactivate a connection
|
|
* The failures to activate a connection now communicate better error
|
|
responses to nmcli
|
|
* Dropped dependency on libgudev
|
|
* Reverse Path filtering is now disabled in multihoming configurations where
|
|
it would interfere with legitimate network traffic
|
|
* libcurl is used instead of libsoup for connectivity checking, resulting in
|
|
a smaller dependency footprint
|
|
* With DNS mode "rc-manager=symlink", don't write /etc/resolv.conf as
|
|
a symlink if it already exists as a regular file.
|
|
* Support attaching user-data in form of key-value pairs to connection profiles.
|
|
* Fix accpeting fully qualified name for ipv4.dhcp-hostname setting.
|
|
* Make NetworkManager more forgiving to failure to change the MAC address during
|
|
scanning.
|
|
* Many bug fixes and improvements
|
|
|
|
============================================
|
|
NetworkManager-1.6
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.4
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:
|
|
|
|
* Added support for managing the MACsec links. Requires support in
|
|
wpa_supplicant (version newer than 2.6).
|
|
* Support for configuration and discovery of Web Proxy settings with
|
|
PacRunner service.
|
|
* The ipv6.method=shared is now supported, utilizing DHCPv6 Prefix
|
|
Delegation option to obtain prefixes for the interface.
|
|
* Support for systemd-resolved local DNS forwarder backend.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* The PPP manager can now be split into a separate package.
|
|
* Added initial support for PKCS#11 tokens with 802.1x authentication.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* New connection.autoconnect_retries property that allows fine-tuning
|
|
the autoconnect behavior.
|
|
* 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).
|
|
* Avoid reading the permanent MAC address before the device is initialized
|
|
by UDEV. This avoids a race where NetworkManager might detect the MAC
|
|
address of the wrong interface.
|
|
* The cloned.mac-address property can now be used with Bond and Bridge
|
|
devices.
|
|
* The ifcfg parsing code has been reworked for better compatibility with
|
|
actual shell variable files.
|
|
* nmtui now supports creating and editing IP tunnel connections.
|
|
* The libnm client library now uses the D-Bus ObjectManager API that allows
|
|
for quicker initialization of the clients.
|
|
* nmtui now utilizes the asynchronous libnm client API to paralellize
|
|
communication with the daemon, reducing the client startup time.
|
|
* Ethernet devices now use "802-3.speed" and "802-3.duplex" properties to
|
|
allow controlling overriding the negotiated link parameters.
|
|
* Order in which IP addresses are configured is now preserved so that
|
|
primary address is selected correctly.
|
|
* Details of the DNS information obtained from the connections is now
|
|
exposed on the D-Bus and can be inspected with nmcli.
|
|
* Fixed race conditions when renaming interfaces, for example as done
|
|
by UDEV for persistent interface naming. This could cause detecting
|
|
devices as the wrong hardware type.
|
|
* Added the support for DHCPV6_HOSTNAME and DHCPV6_SEND_HOSTNAME keys in
|
|
ifcfg files that control "dhcp-hostname" and "dhcp-send-hostname"
|
|
properties of the "ipv6" setting.
|
|
* The stable-addressing for MAC address randomization and RFC7217 IPv6 stable
|
|
privacy addressing can now be more flexibly configured using dynamic
|
|
randomization seeds in "connection.stable-id".
|
|
See "examples/nm-conf.d/30-anon.conf" for example use.
|
|
* When the master of Team, Bridge and Bond devices is specified as a connection
|
|
UUID, the ifcfg-rh plugin now writes the master connection's interface name
|
|
into the ifcfg file for improved compatibility with the legacy network service.
|
|
* Improve handling of MTU by resetting the previous MTU when the device deactivates
|
|
and reset the MTU to a defined value on activation.
|
|
* Improve tracking of parent devices for dependent devices like ip-tunnels, MACVLAN,
|
|
VETH, VLAN, and VXLAN.
|
|
* Many bug fixes and improvements
|
|
|

NetworkManager-1.4
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.2
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:
|
|
|
|
* The MAC address assigned to a device can now be set according to
|
|
different policies: preserve, permanent, random, stable
|
|
* NetworkManager now waits for IPv6 DAD to terminate before completing
|
|
the activation
|
|
* Added support for setting IPv6 tokenized interface identifiers
|
|
through the 'ipv6.token' connection property
|
|
* Added a 'Reload' D-Bus method to reload configuration and reapply
|
|
DNS configuration
|
|
* Added ability to create a configuration checkpoints and rolling back
|
|
changes after a timeout.
|
|
* NetworkManager now follows symlinks when accessing resolv.conf and
|
|
rc-manager is set to 'file'

NetworkManager-1.2
|
|
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.0
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:
|
|
|
|
* MAC addresses during Wi-Fi access point scanning are now randomized
|
|
if wpa_supplicant supports PreassocMacAddr.
|
|
* Added an option to enable random MAC addresses for association to Wi-Fi access
|
|
point (defaults to disabled). Controlled with 'wifi.mac-address-randomization'
|
|
property (MAC_ADDRESS_RANDOMIZATION key in ifcfg files). Requires support from
|
|
wpa_supplicant.
|
|
* Wi-Fi scanning now utilizes wpa_supplicant's AP list.
|
|
* Added support for Wi-Fi powersave, configured with POWERSAVE key in ifcfg
|
|
files.
|
|
* Added support for creation of more types of software devices: tun & tap,
|
|
macvlan, vxlan and ip tunnels (ipip, gre, sit, ip6ip6 and ipip6).
|
|
* The software devices (bond, bridge, vlan, team, ...) can now be stacked
|
|
arbitrarily. The nmcli interface for creating master-slave relationships
|
|
has been significantly improved by the use of 'master' argument to
|
|
all link types.
|
|
* RFC7217 stable privacy addressing is now used by default to protect from
|
|
address-based host tracking. The IPv6 addressing mode is configured with
|
|
IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE key in ifcfg files.
|
|
* Improved route management code to avoid clashes between conflicting
|
|
routes in multiple connections.
|
|
* Refactored platform code resulting in more robust interface to platform,
|
|
less overhead and reduced memory footprint.
|
|
* Improved interoperability with other network management tools. The
|
|
externally created software devices are not managed until they're
|
|
activated.
|
|
* The Device instances now exist for all software connections and the platform
|
|
devices are now only created when the device is activated. This makes it
|
|
possible for connections with device of same name not to clash unless
|
|
they're activated concurrently. The links are now not unnecessarily present
|
|
unless the connection is active, avoiding pollution of the link namespace.
|
|
* NetworkManager now correctly manages connectivity in namespace-based
|
|
containers such as LXC and Docker.
|
|
* Support for configuring ethernet Wake-On-Lan has been added.
|
|
* Added LLDP listener functionality and related CLI client commands. Enabled via
|
|
LLDP option in ifcfg files.
|
|
* CLI secret agent has been extended with support for VPN secrets.
|
|
* The command line client now utilizes colors for its output.
|
|
* The command line client now sorts the devices and properties for better
|
|
clarity.
|
|
* Numerous improvements to Bash command completion for nmcli.
|
|
* NetworkManager relies on less external libraries. The use of dbus-glib
|
|
has been replaced with gio's native D-Bus support and libnl-route is no
|
|
longer used.
|
|
* Dependency on avahi-autoipd has been dropped. Native IPv4 link-local
|
|
addressing configuration based on systemd network library is now used
|
|
instead.
|
|
* Hostname is now managed via systemd-hostnamed on systemd-based systems.
|
|
* Management of resolv.conf can be changed at runtime, private resolv.conf
|
|
is always written in /run.
|
|
* NetworkManager can now write DNS options to resolv.conf.
|
|
* Added an option to enable the old-fashioned /etc/resolv.conf handling
|
|
(using a symlink)
|
|
* Updated version of systemd network library used for internal DHCP and
|
|
IPv4 link-local support.
|
|
* Support for event logging via audit subsystem has been added.
|
|
* Support for native logging via systemd-journald has been added taking
|
|
advantage of its structured logging.
|
|
* Live reconfiguration of IP configuration after changing the settings without
|
|
reactivation of the device with "nmcli device reapply" command and via
|
|
D-Bus API.
|
|
* The API for VPN plugins now supports multiple simultaneous connections.
|
|
Most popular VPN plugins have been updated to support this functionality.
|
|
* The libnm library now provides API to access VPN service definitions.
|
|
* New DHCP_FQDN key in ifcfg files to configure the full FQDN to be sent to
|
|
the DHCP servers.
|
|
* The timeout for DHCP requests can now be modified using the
|
|
'ipv4.dhcp-timeout' property.
|
|
* Added multicast_snooping option to BRIDGING_OPTS ifcfg key.
|
|
* Added support for detecting duplicate IPv4 addresses, with a timeout
|
|
configurable through the ipv4.dad-timeout connection property.
|
|
* Fixed a race condition that could potentially lead to unauthorized access
|
|
to connection secrets (CVE-2016-0764).
|
|
* dnsmasq configuration for shared connections can now be extended by
|
|
placing custom files in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-shared.d/.
|
|
* Generic devices are no longer assumed unless explicitly requested by
|
|
user.
|
|
* The reorder-header VLAN flag setting is now honored; to keep backwards
|
|
compatibility in behavior, an existing REORDER_HDR=0 ifcfg-rh key is
|
|
ignored; the flag must be disabled with VLAN_FLAGS=NO_REORDER_HDR.
|
|
* NetworkManager now checks the connection data from client for validity
|
|
and gracefully handles unknown properties in client. This improves
|
|
interoperability between the server and clients of different versions.
|
|
* The activation of a VLAN device with a virtual parent that is inactive
|
|
now results in a parent being activated first.
|
|
* The server name used with 802.1x authentication can now be constrained
|
|
to a particular domain suffix (CVE-2006-7246).
|
|
* Fair amount of bugs was fixed and robustness was generally improved.
|
|
|
|
The following features were backported to 1.0.x releases from 1.0.0 to 1.0.10
|
|
are also present in NetworkManager-1.2:
|
|
|
|
* Added support for handling VPN secrets to nmtui and nmcli agent.
|
|
* The team devices can now properly be enslaved to bridges.
|
|
* Failed DHCP attempts for assumed connections are now retried after
|
|
a timeout.
|
|
* Default wired connection is now created after udev registers the device.
|
|
* Support for Bluetooth DUN devices with Bluez 5 has been fixed.
|
|
* The 'ipv6.ignore-auto-dns' property is now properly honored making it
|
|
possible to override automatically obtained name servers.
|
|
* Invalid permanent MAC addresses as reported by some devices are now
|
|
ignored.
|
|
* Device links reported by more recent versions of Linux kernel that reside
|
|
in different network namespaces are no longer confused with links in
|
|
the namespace NetworkManager runs in.
|
|
* MAC address changes of bond or team devices are now properly propagated
|
|
to VLANs created on the device.
|
|
* Fixed error handling for teaming devices with invalid configuration.
|
|
* Wi-Fi AP list is now updated correctly after AP mode has been used.
|
|
* The error handling for VPN secret agents is now significantly more robust.
|
|
* Detection of s390 CTC devices now works properly.
|
|
* A GATEWAY key in in /etc/sysconfig/network now no longer affects
|
|
non-static connections.
|
|
* Added support for IPv6-only VPN connections.
|
|
* The systemd service now uses HUP signal to reload configuration.
|
|
* Change VLAN default flags to set REORDER_HDR for new connections.
|
|
* nmtui is now able to ignore automatically configured routes.
|
|
* Allow setting IPv6 and PPP settings for GDM and CDMA connections via
|
|
nmcli.
|
|
* Added support for adding ADSL connections in nmcli.
|
|
* Improved capture portal detection.
|
|
* Default route through Wi-Fi connection is now preferred to Mobile
|
|
Broadband if both are available.
|
|
* Expose a flag to determine whether a particular connection is metered
|
|
via API and client tools. Configurable in ifcfg with CONNECTION_METERED
|
|
key.
|
|
* Add support for locking connections to a channel within a particular
|
|
band.
|
|
* Add support for configuring Wake-on-LAN capabilitites.
|
|
* Allow overriding the MTU for team device.
|
|
* The MTU setting from an IPv6 neighbor discovery Router Advertisements is
|
|
now ignored if applying it would result in invalid configuration.
|
|
* Some configuration options can now be changed without restarting the
|
|
daemon. Notably, this applies to 'dns', 'connectivity' and
|
|
'ignore-carrier' settings.
|
|
* The connection activation was made more robust. If an active connection
|
|
is reactivated, the device it is active on takes precedence. If an attempt
|
|
is made to activate a connection on a different device than the one it is
|
|
active on, the activation proceeds removing the connection from the active
|
|
device.
|
|
* The device specifiers in configuration files now support negation via
|
|
'except:' match.
|
|
* Devices that only have IPv6 link-local address are no longer assumed to
|
|
be connected.
|
|
* nmcli now provides hints and tab-completion for enumeration properties.
|
|
* If the IPv6 interface tokens are set they are honored when creating an
|
|
interface identifier for IPv6 addressing.
|
|
* NetworkManager now maintains correct routing configuration when multiple
|
|
interfaces are connected to the same network.
|
|
* The management of devices can now be controlled with udev rules. The veth
|
|
devices as well as the virtual Ethernet devices of various
|
|
virtualization tools (VMWare, VirtualBox, Parallels Workstation) are
|
|
now ignored by default.
|
|
* The IPv6 privacy extensions are now enabled by default and handling of
|
|
the ip6-privacy sysctl has been improved.
|
|
* Activating a Bond, Bridge or Team device can now optionally activate the
|
|
slave connections as well. The behavior is controlled with
|
|
'connection.autoconnect-slaves' property and AUTOCONNECT-SLAVES key in
|
|
ifcfg files.
|
|
* The platform support code has been refactored, resulting in better
|
|
scalability in large configurations.
|
|
* Changes to network interfaces configuration done outside NetworkManager
|
|
are now picked up and exposed to the user via NetworkManager API and tools.
|
|
* A connection can now optionally leave externally configured default route
|
|
in place instead of overriding it. The behavior is controlled with
|
|
'ipv4.never-default' and 'ipv6.never-default' properties.
|
|
* nmcli allows multiple devices for 'nmcli device disconnect/delete'.
|
|
* Firewall zone is added to firewalld for device-based VPN connections too.
|
|
* Wi-Fi devices now indicate support for 2GHz and 5GHz frequencies
|
|
* "nmcli device" output now indicates physical port ID
|
|
* New config items added to the 'ifcfg-rh' plugin:
|
|
- IPV4_ROUTE_METRIC and IPV6_ROUTE_METRIC
|
|
- DEVTIMEOUT
|
|
- IPADDR and PREFIX are now supported for specifying address ranges of
|
|
shared IPv4 connections
|
|
* Dispatcher scripts now get a CONNECTION_FILENAME variable with the path
|
|
to the configuration file for the connection
|
|
* An example dispatcher script that is able to apply complex routing rules
|
|
(such as setting up policy-based routing) for 'ifcfg-rh' connections was
|
|
added to examples/dispatcher/.
|
|
* 'mode' key of Bond device options property now accepts numeric values
|
|
* Connection attempts for devices without carrier on startup now wait for
|
|
carrier to appear within a short timeout instead of failing
|
|
immediately. This makes system startup more robust.
|
|
* Bridge connectivity is now properly restored on resume from suspend
|
|
* The D-Bus name is acquired earlier during the daemon startup. This makes
|
|
it possible for the systemd service manager to optimize the service
|
|
startup so that services that require networking are activated sooner
|
|
contributing to faster system start up time.
|
|
* A lot of memory leak problems were fixed, resulting in reduced memory usage.
|
|
Many of them were discovered as a result of improvements in use of
|
|
Valgrind in the testing infrastructure.
|
|
* Management of 'teamd' daemon instances for Team devices is now more robust.
|
|
* The 'dnsmasq' daemon respawns when it terminates and it is configured for
|
|
management of DNS resolver configuration
|
|
* Hostnames that are not fully qualified are no longer sent to a DHCPv6
|
|
server for a dynamic DNS update
|
|
* Connection UUIDs are now checked for uniqueness when connection
|
|
configurations are read
|
|
* Receipt of a NDP Router Advertisement can no longer lower the IPv6 hop
|
|
limit (CVE-2015-2924)

|
|
|
|
* Better handling of Wi-Fi devices via nl80211 when available (instead of WEXT)
