NetworkManager-1.52

Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.50

• Store interactive history in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/nmcli-history instead of ~/.nmcli-history
• Add new ipv4.link-local=fallback to set an IPv4 link-local address when no other IPv4 is set.
• Remove support for building with Autotools
• Add IPVLAN interface support
• Allow to manually configure the authentication of LTE's initial EPS Bearer.
• Add support for the "IPv6-only preferred" DHCPv4 option (RFC 8925), used to indicate that a host supports an IPv6-only mode and is willing to forgo obtaining an IPv4 address if the network provides IPv6 connectivity.
• Support automatically adding routes to DNS servers via the ipv4.routed-dns and ipv6.routed-dns properties; when enabled, each name server is reached only via the device that specifies it.
• Support OCI in nm-cloud-setup
• Added support for ethtool FEC mode
• Add new ipv4.shared-dhcp-range and ipv4.shared-dhcp-lease-time, which allows you to customize the DHCP range and lease time offered by DHCP server in shared connection method.
• DNS servers can now be specified with a URI-like syntax which supports DNS over TLS name servers.
• The initrd-generator understands the "rd.net.dns" option to configure global name servers.
• Drop support for the "dhcpcanon" DHCP client.
• global-dns configuration section now has 2 additional keys: "resolve-mode" and "certification-authority".
• Dnsconfd plugin can now be used for configuration of system-wide DNS caching resolver. If dnsconfd plugin is enabled and ipvX.routed-dns is set to -1 then adding routes is by default enabled.
• Add "shared" method to the IPv6 configuration options in nmtui.
• Fix a bug that prevented the activation of bond and bridge's ports in some cases
• Fix a bug that prevented the activation of OVS interfaces in some cases
• Fix MTPCP endpoint creation for IPv4 with DAD and IPv6 tentative addresses
• Fix some VPN routes not being added to the table specified in ipv4/6.routing-table. This fix allow to use policy routing to mitigate Tunnelvision attacks.
