 =============================================
-NetworkManager-1.26.2
+NetworkManager-1.28
 Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.26
 =============================================
 
-* build: various fixes for LTO.
-* dhcp6: export and handle the DHCPv6 FQDN option.
-* core: fix reapply for bond options.
-* core: improve "connection.wait-device-timeout" to handle matching
-  devices not only by interface name and fix race.
-* libnm,core: support "clsact" qdisc.
-* dhcp4: fix bug in internal DHCP client on big endian systems.
+This is a snapshot of NetworkManager 1.28 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!
+
+* Introduce a new "rc-manager=auto" setting and make it the default,
+  unless a different default is chosen at compile time.  This mode
+  tries to detect "systemd-resolved", "resolvconf", and "netconfig"
+  and chooses the mode that seems most suitable depending on build
+  setting and runtime detection.  "resolvconf" and "netconfig" are
+  only considered iff NetworkManager was built with the respective
+  options enabled.
+* The long deprecated D-Bus property "Ip4Address" on
+  "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device" interface is now defunct and
+  always returns zero.
+* Introduce a ipv4.dhcp-reject-servers connection property that
+  specifies a list of DHCP server-ids from which offers should be
+  rejected.
+* Add a ipv4.dhcp-vendor-class-identifier connection property to send
+  a custom value for the Vendor Class Identifier DHCP option.
+* Support obtaining the system hostname through the FQDN DHCPv6
+  option.
+* dbus: don't require policykit permission for GetAppliedConnection of
+  a device.
+* When supported by kernel, use netlink to configure bridge settings
+  instead of writing to sysfs.
+* Deprecate the "active_slave" bond option which now has the same effect
+  as setting the "primary" option.
+* The initrd generator now also accepts MAC addresses to indicate
+  interfaces.
+* Add a new provider for nm-cloud-setup to support automatic network
+  configuration on Azure.
+* The initrd generator now supports creating Infiniband connections.
+* Fix running DHCPv6-PD over PPPoE.
+* Fix building NetworkManager with LTO (Link Time Optimization).
+* Fix failure activating Wi-Fi P2P connections.
+* Reformat code using spaces instead of tabs. Also, the entire C
+  source code is now formatted with "clang-format" (version 11.0).
+* Change the behavior of nm-initrd-generator so that the 'ip=off|none' kernel
+  cmdline argument actually generates a connection which disables both
+  ipv4 and ipv6. Previously the generated connection would disable ipv4
+  but ipv6 would be set to the 'auto' method.
