============================================ NetworkManager-1.5.2 (Development Snapshot) Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.4 ============================================ This is a snapshot of NetworkManager 1.6 development series. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE! Notable changes included in this snapshot so far include: * Introduced Vala bindings for libnm. * NetworkManager would now keep most connections up on shutdown (except Wi-Fi connections, VPN connections and other kinds that can't be assumed on startup) * The checkpoint/restore connection can now also remove new connections and disconnect devices that were activated since the checkpoint was taken. * The configuration is now read from /run/NetworkManager/conf.d as well. This is useful for handing over configuration discovered on system startup to NetworkManager. * New connection.autoconnect_retries property that allows fine-tuning the autoconnect behavior. * Support for configuration and discovery of Web Proxy settings with PacRunner service. * Support for systemd-resolved local DNS forwarder backend. * Fix emission of NM-style PropertiesChanged signals and deprecate them for PropertiesChanged on "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" interface. * Change the meaning of unset "cloned-mac-address" settings from "permanent" to "preserve". This changes the default value and affects existing connections during upgrade that did not explicitly configure cloned-mac-address. This has the effect that externally configured MAC addresses are preserved by default instead of setting the permanent address (bgo#770611).
