Overview of changes in libmbim 1.16

• Build now requires GLib 2.36.

• All the code base was ported to use the GTask based asynchronous operations support instead of the deprecated GSimpleAsyncResult.

• New AT&T Device Service support, that includes operator-specific commands to query signal info or cell location.

• New Intel Firmware Update Service support, that includes commands to request the Intel-based module to reboot in firmware download mode.

• libmbim-glib:
  • Added MBIM_STATUS_ERROR_CONTEXT_NOT_SUPPORTED to MbimStatusError.
  • Avoid using iconv() directly for the UTF-16BE conversions, which makes it possible to use libmbim on systems with a stub iconv() implementation.
  • Added support to detect already open MBIM channels on the Sierra Wireless EM7345.

• mbimcli:
  • New '--query-ip-packet-filters' action.
  • New '--query-pin-list' action.
  • New '--atds-query-signal' and '--atds-query-location' actions.
  • New '--intel-modem-reboot' action.

• Several other minor improvements and fixes.

The following features which were backported to 1.14.x releases are also present in libmbim 1.16.0:

• libmbim-glib:
  • Prefer realpath() to canonicalize_file_name().
  • Added MBIM_READY_INFO_FLAG_NONE to MbimReadyInfoFlag.

• mbim-proxy:
  • Avoid receiving signals from the parent process.

• mbimcli:
  • Add cancellability to the query-ip-configuration action.
