+NetworkManager-1.20
+Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.18
+=============================================
+
+This is a snapshot of NetworkManager 1.20 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!
+
+* The libnm-glib library, deprecated in favor of libnm since NetworkManager 1.0,
+  and disabled by default since NetworkManager 1.12, has now been removed.
+* The DHCP client now defaults to "internal". The default can be overriden
+  at build time by using the --with-config-dhcp-default option of the
+  configure script or at run time by setting the main.dhcp option in the
+  configuration file.
+* Added support for configuring fq_codel line discipline and mirred action.
+* Added a possibility for distributions to ship dispatcher scripts in /usr/lib.
+* Drop deprecated setting "main.monitor-connection-files" in NetworkManager.conf.
+  This setting now has no more effect and was disabled by default for a long time.
+  Instead, after changes, load files explicitly with `nmcli connection load` or
+  `nmcli connection reload`.
+* Rework parsing team JSON config in libnm and stricter validate settings.
+  With this, NetworkManager rejects settings that it considers invalid while
+  still allowing setting arbitrary JSON config directly.
+* Drop ibft settings plugin. This functionality is now covered by using
+  nm-initrd-generator from initrd to pre-generate in-memory profiles.
+* Support "suppress_prefixlength" attribute for policy routing rules.
+  This is what wg-quick uses for the "Improved Rule-based Routing" solution,
+  and the user can now manually configure such policy routing rules.
+* Support "wireguard.ip4-auto-default-route" and "wireguard.ip6-auto-default-route".
+  This automatically implements the "Improved Rule-based Routing" of wg-quick
+  to help avoiding routing loops when setting the default-route on the WireGuard
+  interface. Note that this is now enabled by default, so there is a change in behavior
+  if your WireGuard connection profiles from before had a default-route (/0)
+  in allowed-ips.
+* Rework implementation of settings plugins and how profiles are presisted
+  to disk. This is a large internal refactoring of the settings plugins that
+  allows to migrate a connection profile between plugins.
+* In-memory profiles are now only handled by keyfile plugin and will also be
+  persisted to /run directory. This allows to restart NetworkManager without
+  loosing these profiles and it provides a file-system based API for creating
+  in-memory profiles.
+* Keyfile plugin now supports a read-only directory of profiles under directory
+  "/usr/lib/NetworkManager/system-connections". Such profiles still can be modified
+  and deleted via D-Bus, which results in writing profiles to /etc or /run that
+  shadow the read-only files.
+* Add new D-Bus method AddConnection2() that allows to block autoconnect of
+  the profile at the moment when creating the profile. Also add support for
+  this API to libnm.
+* Add flag "no-reapply" to Update2() D-Bus method. Normally, when a connection
+  profile gets modified, this only changes the profile itself. When the profile
+  is currently activated on a device, then the device's configuration does not update
+  before the profile is fully re-activated or Reapply on the device is called. There
+  is an exception to this: the "connection.zone" and the "connection.metered"
+  properties take effect immediately. The "no-reapply" flag allows suppressing to
+  reapply any properties, so that no changes take effect automatically. The purpose
+  is to really only modify the profile itself without changes to the runtime configuration
+  of the device.
+* Add "ipv6.method=disabled" to disable IPv6 on a device, like also possible for
+  IPv4. Until now, the users could only set "ipv6.method=ignore" which means the
+  users are free to set IPv6 related sysctl values themselves.
+* Added support for Wi-Fi Mesh network.
+
+The following changes were backported to 1.18.x releases between 1.18.0
+and 1.18.2 are also present in NetworkManager-1.18:
+
+- 1.18.2:
+* Add compatibility with out-of-tree WireGuard module on 5.2 kernels
+* Fix parsing of BOOTIF= variables in initrd.
+* Accept numeric IPv4 prefix in place of a mask when parsing a command line
+  in initrd.
+* Don't check connectivity of unconfigured devices.
+* Fix PKCS#12 handling in the ifcfg-rh plugin.
+* Avoid waiting for udev to see software devices created by NetworkManager.
+* Don't attempt to stop management daemon for Team devices created
+  externally to NetworkManager.
+* Use FQDN for persistent hostname on Slackware.
+* Restore IPv6 configuration of a device when its link goes back up.
+* Fix management status of software devices on system suspend.
+* Make nmcli not print certificate blobs if --show-secrets is not used.
+* Fix MTU reapply.
