NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE! still allowing setting arbitrary JSON config directly. * Drop ibft settings plugin. This functionality is now covered by using nm-initrd-generator from initrd to pre-generate in-memory profiles. +* Support "suppress_prefixlength" attribute for policy routing rules. +* Rework implementation of settings plugins and how profiles are presisted + to disk. +* In-memory profiles are now only handled by keyfile plugin and will also be + persisted to /run directory. This allows to restart NetworkManager without + loosing these profiles and it provides a file-system based API for creating + in-memory profiles. +* Keyfile plugin now supports a read-only directory of profiles under directory + "/usr/lib/NetworkManager/system-connections". Such profiles still can be modified + and deleted via D-Bus, which results in writing profiles to /etc or /run that + shadow the read-only files. +* Add new D-Bus method AddConnection2() that allows to block autoconnect of + the profile at the moment when creating the profile. Also add support for + this API to libnm. +* Add flag "no-reapply" to Update2() D-Bus method. Normally, when a connection + profile gets modified, this only changes the profile itself. If the profile + is activated at a device, then the device's configuration does not update before + the profile is fully re-activated or Reapply on the device gets called. There + was an exception to this: the "connection.zone" and the "connection.metered" + properties take effect immediately. The "no-reapply" flag allows suppressing this, + so that not changes take effect automatically. The purpose is to really only modify + the profile itself without changes to the runtime configuration of the device. The following changes were backported to 1.18.x releases between 1.18.0 and 1.18.2 are also present in NetworkManager-1.18: |
