 =============================================
-NetworkManager-1.36.2
+NetworkManager-1.38
 Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.36
 =============================================
 
+* 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.
+* 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.
+
+- 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
