NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE! * Check connectivity per address family. +* Support "main.systemd-resolved" to let NetworkManager configure DNS settings + in systemd-resolved without making it the main DNS plugin of NetworkManager. +* Write "/var/run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf" with original nameservers. + That is useful with caching DNS plugins like "systemd-resolved" or "dnsmasq" where + "/var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf" refers to localhost. +* Change default "ipv4.dhcp-client-id" setting for the internal DHCP plugin from + "duid" to "mac". This is a change in behavior on upgrade when using the internal + DHCP plugin (unless the default is overwritten in "NetworkManager.conf" or specified + per connection profile). +* Improve handling of DHCP router options with internal DHCP plugin. For one, accept + multiple routers and add a default-route to each. On D-Bus expose the original DNS + and NTP servers without cleaning up local nameservers. +* Allow binding a connections lifetime to the DBus client that activated it. +* Add support for establishing Wi-Fi Direct connections (Wi-Fi P2P). +* Add support for WireGuard VPN tunnels to NetworkManager. D-Bus API and libnm + support all options. nmcli supports creating and managing WireGuard profiles, + with the exception of configuring and showing peers. +* Add initrd generator to be used by dracut and use it as new way of handling + iBFT. +* Deprecated "plugins.monitor-connection-files" setting in NetworkManager.conf. + This option will have no effect in future versions. +* Add AP and Ad-hoc support for iwd Wi-Fi backend. +* Warn about invalid settings in "NetworkManager.conf". +* Support announcing "ANDROID_METERED" DHCP option for shared mode. +* Support SAE authentication as used for 802.11s Meshing and WPA3-Personal. +* NetworkManager is no longer installed as D-Bus activatable service. +* Mark docker bridges as unmanaged via udev rule. +* Add new PolicyKit permission "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan" for controlling + Wi-Fi scanning. The following changes were backported to 1.14.x releases between 1.14.0 -and 1.14.2 are also present in NetworkManager-1.14: - +and 1.14.6 are also present in NetworkManager-1.14: + +- 1.14.6: +* Fix memory corruption in internal DHCPv6 client (CVE-2018-15688). +* No longer limit number of search entries in resolv.conf to 6. +* Support restricting NetworkManager.conf device configuration based on used DHCP + plugin. +* Add "${MAC}" specifier for connection.stable-id. This uses the current MAC + address for seeding the stable generation of MAC address, DHCP client-id + or IPv6 stable-privacy interface identifier. +* Support special value "duid" for "ipv4.dhcp-client-id". This generates an + RFC4361-compliant client-id like the internal DHCP client used to do by default. + Previously, there was no explicit name for such a client-id and it was not + usable with dhclient DHCP plugin. This also generates the same client-id as + systemd-networkd does by default. +* Support and use a new kind of secret-key in "/var/lib/NetworkManager/secret_key". + The secret-key represents the identity of the machine that is used for various + purposes like generating IPv6 stable privacy addresses. It is now combined + with "/etc/machine-id" so that changing only the machine-id results in new identifiers. + That matters for example when cloning a virtual machine. Previously, the user + hard to prune NetworkManager's secret-key to get a new identity, now regenerating + machine-id suffices. Secret-keys generated by earlier versions of NetworkManager are + not affected and keep their previous behavior. +* Fix the DHCP client-ids based on the MAC address of IPoIB/infiniband devices. +* Fix restoring IP configuration after interface went down. +* No longer let NetworkManager touch rp_filter setting. The rp_filter sysctl must now + be set outside of NetworkManager according to the admin's preference. Note that a strict + rp_filter may break valid use-cases and interacts badly with connectivity checking. +* Various bug fixes and improvements. + +- 1.14.4: +* Fix a crash in nmcli when a device is removed while being disconnected. +* Fix a crash in ifupdown (Debian) configuration plugin. +* Fix a daemon crash when a generated connection doesn't validate. +* Fix a memory leak in dhclient DHCP plugin. +* Fix line editing in nmcli password prompts. +* Fix a RPATH in bluetooth and wwan plugin when built with Meson (otherwise + they wouldn't find libnm-wwan.so). + +- 1.14.2: * Fix a bug that could cause NetworkManager to crash after checking connectivity status. * Correctly apply a default (-1) metric from DHCP. |
