NetworkManager-1.22

Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.20

This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. Notable changes include:

  • Drop support for BlueZ 4. BlueZ 5 was released in 2012 and should nowadays be available everywhere.
  • DHCP: switch "internal" DHCPv4 plugin from code based on systemd to use nettools' n-dhcp4 library.
  • Add support for "scope" attribute for IPv4 routes.
  • Add support for specifying IAID and FQDN flags for DHCP request.
  • Add a '802-1x.optional' property to consider the wired 802.1X authentication as optional.
  • Use the Network Cost Wi-Fi information element to determine metered device state.
  • Support main.auth-polkit=root-only setting to disable PolicyKit use and restrict authorization to root user.
  • core: declare "startup complete" when device reaches "connected" state, even if IP addressing methods did not yet fully complete. This changes behavior for unblocking "NetworkManager-wait-online.service", and "network-online.target" earlier. If this causes issues in your setup, you may need to configure "ipv4.may-fail=no" or "ipv6.may-fail=no", which delays reaching "connected" state for the address family accordingly.
  • libnm: hide NMObject and NMClient typedefs from header files. This prevents the user from subclassing these types and is an ABI change (in the unlikely case that a user was subclassing the types, which is no longer supported).
  • libnm: retire deprecated WiMAX API NMDeviceWimax and NMWimaxNsp. WiMAX support was removed from NetworkManager in version 1.2 (2016) and no such type instances would have been created by NMClient for a while now.
  • Deprecate synchronous API for D-Bus calls in libnm. We don't remove libnm API so you are free to continue using it. But tells you that using it might be a bad idea.
  • libnm: heavily internal rework NMClient. This slims down libnm and makes the implementation more efficient. NMClient should work now well with a separate GMainContext.
  • Add nmcli general reload subcommand to reload NetworkManager configuration and DNS settings.
  • nm-cloud-setup: add new tool for automatically configuring NetworkManager in cloud. This is still experimental and currently only EC2 and IPv4 is supported.
  • Add new NetworkManager logo to "contrib/art/logo".
  • Various bug fixes and improvements.
