-NetworkManager-0.9.8.10
-Overview of changes since NetworkManager-0.9.8.8
-================================================
-
-This is a new stable release of NetworkManager.  Notable changes include:
-
-* Fixed two problems that could result in gnome-shell showing
-  incorrect icons. (In particular, fixed the problem where the network
-  icon would disappear when certain VPNs were activated.)
-* Fixed a bug that allowed a user to disconnect a connection that
-  they didn't have permissions on.
-* Dispatcher scripts now receive correct IPv6 addresses, and also
-  correct DHCP information on lease-change events.
-* NetworkManager no longer tries to start ModemManager itself on
-  systemd-using systems
-* Activating a second ethernet connection while another is already
-  active will now not move the default route.
-* Fixed some edge cases where one user could deactivate a connection
-  owned by another.
-* Fix handling of dhcp-send-hostname property with ifcfg-rh
-* DHCP now works even if you have a global dhclient.conf that
-  specifies a (non-NetworkManager) script to run
-* The dhcpcd backend now requests that dhcpcd only do DHCPv4, fixing
-  some WWAN devices that don't react well to seeing IPv6 packets.
-* Fixed the default value of bridge priority
-* The D-Bus policy file has been updated to include the
-  NetworkManager-iodine VPN plugin
-* It is possible to specify the path to dnsmasq at build time
-* Removed a GLib 2.32 dependency that accidentally snuck into 0.9.8.8
-* Fixed a bunch of memory leaks
-* Fixed a bunch of miscellaneous crashes
-* Removed some less-useful bits of logging output

-* Wait up to 120 seconds for modems to connect
-* Don't crash for PPPoE connections with no wired setting
-* Fix AvailableConnections for some WiFi connections

-* Ensure the keyfile plugin reads all-default VLAN connections correctly
-* Suppress the kernel's automatic creation of bond0
-* Make the SecretAgent API introspectable for bindings
-* Ensure ActiveConnections get torn down when device is unavailable
-* Ensure ifupdown plugin rechecks unmanaged devices on interface changes
-* Don't prematurely think IPv6 has succeeded due to left-over addresses
-* Fix various systemd issues and add service file for the dispatcher
-* Updates for new ModemManager API changes
-* Fix crash on Wi-Fi when IP configuration times out
-
+* Added a new curses-based client called "nmtui" for easier console operation
+* Added interactive connection editing and creation mode to nmcli with detailed
+    help and tab completion support
+* nmcli bash completion has been greatly improved
+* Added support for Data Center Bridging (DCB) and FibreChannel over Ethernet (FCoE)
+* IPv6 autoconfiguration is now done in userspace with libndp instead of the kernel
+* The D-Bus daemon is no longer required for root-only operation
+* WiFi, ADSL, WWAN, and Bluetooth are now optional plugins, reducing install size
+* Added support for Infiniband Partitions
+* Network connection files are no longer watched by default, use "nmcli con reload"
+    to notice changes made externally or set "monitor-connection-files=true" in
+    NetworkManager.conf's [main] section
+* Connections can now be locked to interface names in addition to hardware/MAC addresses
+* A new "ignore-carrier" configuration option is available to ignore the carrier
+    on selected interfaces
+* A new "dns=none" option has been added to suppress changes to /etc/resolv.conf
+* Changes made to IP addresses, IP routes, and master/slave relationships from
+    external tools are now recognized and reflected in the D-Bus API
+* Assuming the existing configuration of interfaces without changing that
+    configuration is now more reliable
+* The 'root' user is no longer subject to PolicyKit access controls and usage

+    requested
+* Added WWAN autoconnect support and fixed issues with airplane mode handling
+* NetworkManager-wait-online systemd service behavior is more reliable
+* The dispatcher timeout has increased to 10 minutes, and new "pre-up" and
+    "pre-down" events have been added which block activation until complete
+* NetworkManager no longer prevents Wake-on-LAN functionality from working
+* PPPoE now requires userland "rp-pppoe" to work around kernel bugs with

+* More properties are now exposed via the D-Bus properties interface in
+    addition to getter/setter functions
