USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE!
-* bond: add "balance-slb" option which implements source load balancing
- with "balance-xor" mode and "vlan-srcmac" xmit_hash_policy. In this
- mode, NetworkManager configures nftables to prevent loops in the
- switch.
-* dns: support specifying DNS-over-TLS server name (SNI) for static
- name servers. Only works with systemd-resolved plugin.
-* loopback: add support of loopback interface and a new connection type
- "loopback". On D-Bus, the loopback interface now has the
- "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Loopback" interface instead of
- "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Generic". Loopback handling is special
- in that when the NetworkManager profile is deactivated, the interfaces will
- still be up and configured with a 127.0.0.1 address.
-* Add support of IPv4 ECMP routes. The ECMP routes will get merged
+* Added support for source load balancing for Ethernet Bonds.
+* Allow specifying vhost name (SNI) for a manually DNS-over-TLS server.
+ Only works with systemd-resolved plugin.
+* Connections can now be activated on a loopback interface.
+* Added support of IPv4 ECMP routes. The ECMP routes will get merged
automatically but the user need to configure them as single-hop routes
specifying a valid weight.
* Add new "reapply" dispatcher event.
-* Add support of VTI and VTI6 ip-tunnels. Add a new property "ip-tunnel.fwmark".
-* vlan: add support of "vlan.protocol" property to set 802.1Q (default) or
- 802.1ad.

+ "ip-tunnel.fwmark".
+* VLAN can now support 802.1ad tagging instead of 802.1Q.
+* Invocations of iptables now use "--wait 2" to handle races with concurrent
calls. This fixes misbehavior with IPv4 shared mode.
-* DHCP: expose used DHCPV4 client-id and DHCPv6 DUID in lease information.
-* VPN: support new "ipv[46].auto-route-ext-gw" option to suppress adding direct
- route to external VPN gateway.
-* ovs: add support of "ovs-dpdk.n-rxq-desc", "ovs-dpdk.n-txq-desc",
- "ovs-interface.ofport-request" and "ovs-port.trunks" properties.

property is not supported by nmcli.
* nmtui now supports editing Wi-Fi WPA-Enterprise, Ethernet with 802.1X
authentication and MACsec connection profiles.
