=============================================
NetworkManager-1.42
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.40
=============================================

* Added support for source load balancing for Ethernet Bonds.
* Allow specifying vhost name (SNI) for a manually DNS-over-TLS server.
  Only works with systemd-resolved plugin.
* Connections can now be activated on a loopback interface.
* Added support of IPv4 ECMP routes. The ECMP routes will get merged
  automatically but the user need to configure them as single-hop routes
  specifying a valid weight.
* Add new "reapply" dispatcher event.
* Added support of VTI and VTI6 ip-tunnels along with a new property,
  "ip-tunnel.fwmark".
* VLAN can now support 802.1ad tagging instead of 802.1Q.
* Invocations of iptables now use "--wait 2" to handle races with concurrent
  calls. This fixes misbehavior with IPv4 shared mode.
* The DHCP client-id and DHCPv6 DUID are now exposed along with the lease
  information.
* Optionally suppress adding direct route to an external VPN gateway
  with the new "ipv[46].auto-route-ext-gw" property.
* Open vSwitch support gained new properties: "ovs-dpdk.n-rxq-desc",
  "ovs-dpdk.n-txq-desc", "ovs-interface.ofport-request" and
  "ovs-port.trunks".
* Added support of "other_config" for OVS bridge, port or interface. This
  property is not supported by nmcli.
* nmtui now supports editing Wi-Fi WPA-Enterprise, Ethernet with 802.1X
  authentication and MACsec connection profiles.
* nmcli now allows changing "connection.uuid" and "connection.type"
  properties in offline mode and setting the UUID when creating a
  connection.
* nmcli now accepts abbreviations for the UUID with the connection selector
  in `nmcli connection $operator uuid $uuid`.
* DHCPv6 leases are now declined when addresses fail DAD.
* Documentation improvements.
* Many internal improvements and bug fixes.

The following changes were backported to 1.40.x releases between 1.40.0
and 1.40.10 are also present in NetworkManager-1.42:

- 1.40.10

* Fix the evaluation of the autoconnect retries.
* nm-cloud-setup now preserves addresses added externally.
* Ensure that dnsmasq is stopped after changing the dns backend and
  restarting the service.
* Fix honoring an explicit DHCPv6 DUID with dhclient.
* Other various fixes.

- 1.40.8

* Fixed a bug that caused devices (MACsec in particular) to be stuck in
  UNAVAILABLE state and not transition to DISCONNECTED if the carrier was
  ready too early.
* Improved interoperability of MACsec with some Aruba switches by allowing
  CKN shorter than 64 characters.
* Fixed an assertion failure when restarting NetworkManager with MACsec
  links configured.
* Fixed a possible DHCP helper crash when handling failure to connect to
  D-Bus.
* Corrected calculation of expiration time for items configured from IPv6
  neighbor discovery messages.
* Various fixes for platforms that don't allow unaligned memory access.

- 1.40.6

* team: also set empty port configuration so teamd
  knows about the port.
* team: restore port configuration after teamd respawn.

- 1.40.4

* dhcp: revert restarting DHCP when MAC address changes,
  for example during a bond fail over.
* various documentation fixes.
* fix non-exported ABI in libnm which was wrongly present
  in the header files but unusable so far.
* ifcfg-rh: fix writing ethtool pause settings to file.
* core: set "proto static" for manual routing rules configured
  by NetworkManager.
* Various minor bugfixes.

- 1.40.2

* Ensure that resolv.conf gets updated when the configuration changes.
* Fix setting as bond primary an interface that doesn't exist yet when the
  bond is activated.
* The number of autoconnect retries is now accounted independently for each
  device when there are profiles with multi-connect=multiple.
* Don't print duplicate entries in the output of "NetworkManager
  --print-config"
* Fix the ifcfg-rh plugin to properly read infiniband P-Key connection
  profiles without an explicit interface name.
* Allow the removal of a bond port connection profile from the bond via
  nmcli.
* Fix race condition during the activation of veth profiles when the peer
  already exists.
* Decline the DHCPv6 lease if all addresses fail IPv6 duplicate address
  detection (DAD).
* Wait that devices get carrier before trying to resolve the system hostname
  on them via DNS.
* Fix race condition during the initial activation of OVS interfaces.
* Profiles generated by nm-initrd-generator now have lower than default
  priority.
* Fix error when adding many SR-IOV virtual functions (VFs).
