+NetworkManager-1.11.90 (1.12-rc1)
 Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.10
 =============================================
 
-This is a snapshot of NetworkManager 1.10 development series.
+This is a release candidate of NetworkManager 1.12.0.
 USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.  NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE!
 
-Notable changes included in this snapshot so far include:
+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.
-* Add support for "onlink" routes
+* Drop dependency on libnl3 library.
+* Add support for "onlink" routes.
 * More robust connectivity checking.
-* Dropped the obsolete "ifnet" settings plugin
+* 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
+* 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 identifers
+  depending on the MAC address and the stable ID.

 * 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.
