+NetworkManager-1.14.6
+Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.14.4
+===============================================
+
+This is a new stable release of NetworkManager.  Notable changes include:
+
+* Fix memory corruption in internal DHCPv6 client (CVE-2018-15688).
+* No longer limit number of search entires 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 addesses. 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.
