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! + +* Add support for route type "throw". +* Fix bug setting priority for IP addresses. +* Static IPv6 addresses from "ipv6.addresses" are now preferred over + addresses from DHCPv6, which are preferred over addresses from autoconf. + This affects IPv6 source address selection, if the rules from + RFC 6724, section 5 don't give a exhaustive match. +* Static IPv6 addresses from "ipv6.addresses" are now interpreted with + first address being preferred. Their order got inverted. This is now + consistent with IPv4. +* Wi-Fi hotspots will use a (stable) random channel number unless one is + chosen manually. +* Don't use unsupported SAE/WPA3 mode for AP mode. +* 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 + (or to 64 characters, whatever comes first) if it's too long. +* As the insecure WEP encryption for Wi-Fi network is phased out, + nmcli now discourages its use when activating or modifying a + profile. +* 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. +* Set "src" attribute for routes from DHCPv4 to the leased address. This + helps with source address selection. +* 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: + +- 1.36.4 * The internal DHCPv4 client now discards NAKs packets coming from servers different from the one that sent the offer. -* Fix activation of PPPoE connections with "pppoe.parent" unset. +* Fixed a couple of regressions in PPPoE support since 1.36.0. * Fix potential libnm crash when the client object initialization gets canceled. * Other various fixes and improvements. -============================================= -NetworkManager-1.36.2 -Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.36 -============================================= - +- 1.36.2 * When the list of plugins is not specified via "main.plugins" in NetworkManager.conf and no build-time default is set with "--with-config-plugins-default" configure argument, now all known |
