New minor version.

[Douglas R. Reno]

=============================================
NetworkManager-1.44
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.42
=============================================

* Introduce a new "link" setting that holds properties related to the
  kernel link such as "tx-queue-length", "gso-max-size",
  "gso-max-segments", "gro-max-size".
* Support sending a DHCPv6 prefix delegation hint via the
  "ipv6.dhcp-pd-hint" connection property.
* Support new bond options: "arp_missed_max", "lacp_active",
  "ns_ip6_target".
* Add new "initial-eps-bearer-configure" and "initial-eps-bearer-apn"
  properties in the GSM setting.
* Setting "connection.stable-id=default${CONNECTION}" changed behavior to
  be identical to the built-in default value when the stable-id is not set.
* Add a "[keyfile].rename" option to NetworkManager.conf to force renaming
  profiles on disk when their name changes.
* The ifcfg-rh plugin is deprecated; it will only receive bugfixes and
  no new features. A warning is emitted the log when a connection in
  ifcfg-rh format is found.
* To automatically migrate existing ifcfg-rh connections to the
  keyfile format, a new configuration option "main.migrate-ifcfg-rh"
  is provided. Migration is disabled by default, but the default value
  can be changed at build time via
  "--with-config-migrate-ifcfg-rh-default=yes".
* When configuring hostnames in non-public TLD (like "example.local"), use
  the TLD as default search domain instead of the full hostname.
* Always apply DNS options from the [global-dns] configuration section
* The NetworkManager daemon now acquires the D-Bus name only after
  populating the D-Bus tree. This can add a delay during startup but
  it is required to avoid race conditions with other services
  depending on NM.
* Add a "version-id" argument to the Update2() D-Bus call to guard
  against concurrent modifications of profiles.
* Don't use tentative IPv6 addresses to resolve the system hostname
  via DNS.
* Track the number of autoconnect retries left for each device and
  connection. Previously it was tracked only per connection and this
  lead to unexpected behaviors in case of multiconnect profiles.
* Set VLAN filtering options on bridge via netlink instead of sysfs.
* nm-cloud-setup now supports IMDSv2 on Amazon EC2.
* nmtui now allows to enable or disable Wi-Fi and WWAN radios.
* Honor ignore-carrier=no for bond/bridge/team devices.
* Add version mismatch warning when running nmcli commands.

The following changes were backported to 1.42.x releases between 1.42.0
and 1.42.8, and are also present in NetworkManager-1.44:

- 1.42.8
* Support compiling against pppd 2.5.0.
* Support the "prio" option for bond ports.
* Better handle non-full-membership PKEY_ID with new PKEY_ID_NM
  variable in ifcfg-rh files.

- 1.42.2
* Add new "ipv[46].replace-local-rule" connection property that allows
  users to remove the autogenerated local route rule. By default,
  NetworkManager won't touch the local route rule.
* Introduce a new D-Bus property "Controller" in the ActiveConnection
  object, and deprecated the existing "Master" property.
