network-manager-applet-1.0.4
Overview of changes since network-manager-applet-1.0.2
=======================================================

This is a new stable release of network-manager-applet.  Notable changes
include:

• Setting MTU for a bond device is now supported.
• Connecting to a wireless network from the NetworkManager applet no
  longer results in an attempt to create system-wide connections.  This
  fixes the ability to connect to a wireless network for non-privileged
  user.
• The master interface name is used instead of master connection UUID
  for slave connections created with nm-connection-editor.  This fixes
  compatibility of the ifcfg configuration files with the legacy network
  service.
• It is now possible to specify an interface name instead of a MAC
  address when editing a connection using nm-connection-editor.
• The WWAN connections now have IPv6 enabled by default.
• libnm-gtk includes functions for password storage selection, which
  eases implementation of password GUI for VPN plugins and other users.

===============================================
NetworkManager-1.0.4
Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.0.2
===============================================

This is a new stable release of NetworkManager.  Notable changes
include:

• The MTU setting from an IPv6 neighbor discovery Router Advertisements
  is now ignored if applying it would result in invalid configuration.
• Some configuration options can now be changed without restarting the
  daemon. Notably, this applies to 'dns', 'connectivity' and
  'ignore-carrier' settings.
• The connection activation was made more robust. If an active
  connection is reactivated, the device it's active on takes precedence.
  If an attempt is made to activate a connection on a different device
  than it is active on, the activation proceeds removing the connection
  from the active device.
• The device specifiers in configuration files now support negation via
  'except:' match.
• Devices that only have IPv6 link-local address are no longer assumed
  to be connected.
• nmcli now provides hints and tab-completion for enumeration
  properties.
• If the IPv6 interface tokens are set they are honored when creating an
  interface identifier for IPv6 addressing.
• NetworkManager now maintains correct routing configuration when
  multiple interfaces are connected to the same network.
• The management of devices can now be controlled with udev rules. The
  veth devices as well as the virtual Ethernet devices of various
  virtualization tools (VMWare, VirtualBox, Parallels Workstation) are
  now ignored by default.
• The IPv6 privacy extensions are now enabled by default and handling of
  the ip6-privacy sysctl has been improved.
• Activating a Bond, Bridge or Team device can now optionally activate
  the slave connections as well. The behavior is controlled with
  'connection.autoconnect-slaves' property.
• The platform support code has been refactored, resulting in better
  scalability in large configurations.
• Changes to network interfaces configuration done outside
  NetworkManager are now picked up and exposed to the user via
  NetworkManager API and tools.
• A connection can now optionally leave externally configured default
  route in place instead of overriding it. The behavior is controlled
  with 'ipv4.never-default' and 'ipv6.never-default' properties.
• Multiple crasher and memory leak bugs in the daemon were fixed.
• Multiple bugs that could cause the client tools to hang or crash were
  fixed.
• nmcli allows multiple devices for 'nmcli device disconnect/delete'.
• Firewall zone is added to firewalld for device-based VPN connections
  too.
