+NetworkManager-1.8
+Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.6
+============================================
 
 This is a new stable release of NetworkManager.  Notable changes include:
 
-* Fixed build warnings with GCC 7
-* Multiple bug fixes in NetworkManager, nmcli and nm-online including
-    several crashes.
+* 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
