ModemManager 1.18.4
-------------------------------------------

 * A new FCC unlock operation management via external scripts is introduced,
   which will avoid to automatically unlock FCC locked devices unless the user
   has configured the operation manually, or unless an official vendor-provided
   FCC unlock tool is found in the system.

   Please refer to the following URL for full details:
   https://modemmanager.org/docs/modemmanager/fcc-unlock/

   The following changes should be taken into account by distribution packagers:
   ** A set of FCC unlock scripts named as the specific vendor 'vid' will be
      installed in ${datadir}/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.available.d.
   ** A set of symlinks is created named as the specific device 'vid:pid', and
      pointing to the per-vendor 'vid' files, in the same location inside
      ${datadir}.
   ** A new ${sysconfdir}/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.d directory is created, where
      users will manually install additional symlinks to the scripts shipped in
      ${datadir}.
   ** A new ${libdir}/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.d directory is created, where
      vendors will install their own official FCC unlock tools.
   ** Both fcc-unlock.d directories should be empty on a new install, and their
      contents (if any) should not be removed on ModemManager upgrades.

 * build,meson:
   ** All optional settings in the build (e.g. introspection, systemd
      suspend/resume support, udev...) are now booleans (true/false) instead
      of features. Having dependencies as 'auto' has given problems since the
      very beginning when using autotools, because sometimes the build goes on
      even if all the features required by the user were not enabled. This
      change in the meson build now requires the user to explicitly enable or
      disable features. This is for consistency across all libqrtr-glib, libqmi,
      libmbim and ModemManager.
   ** If the build relies on enabling specific plugins, though, these are still
      features (enable/disable/auto). The user may disable all plugins with
      `-Dauto_features=disabled` and then enable specific plugins independently.
   ** Fixed the plugin dependency on build options.

 * libmm-glib:
   ** The license text in several source files of the library is fixed to reflect
      that they are LGPLv2+, as the whole library. This is not a relicense of any
      kind, just a fix in the wording.

 * modem interface:
   ** Always set error if creating device identifier fails.

 * firmware interface:
   ** Fix missing context initialization leading to crash.

 * profile manager interface:
   ** Fix incorrect GError ownership management.

 * mbim:
   ** Fix crash when processing DNS addresses on a connection attempt.
   ** Fix incorrect GError ownership management when reloading connection status.

 * qmi:
   ** Fix non-initialized GError.

 * sms:
   ** Merge WDP multipart CDMA WAP messages.
   ** Increase default send timeout from 180s to 300s.

 * kerneldevice:
   ** Fix pattern matching logic in the custom udev rules parser, required to
      correctly handle devices in the WWAN subsystem in kernel 5.13.

 * plugins:
   ** qcom-soc: this plugin is now enabled by default, so that it can be used on
      several new laptops based on Qualcomm SoCs.
   ** qcom-soc: updated to require the explicit ID_MM_QCOM_SOC udev tag.
   ** telit: fix critical message when attempting to unref a NULL object.
   ** telit: allow unlock retries loading for unknown error csim reply.
   ** telit: avoid sim hot swap procedure if #QSS is not supported.
   ** telit: add port type hints for LE910S1 0x7010, 0x7011 compositions.
   ** quectel: fix non-initialized GError.
   ** foxconn: added support for T99W265 modules.

 * Several other improvements and fixes.
