+network-manager-applet-1.2
+Overview of changes since network-manager-applet-1.0.0
+======================================================
+
+This is a new stable release of network-manager-applet.  Notable changes include:
+
+* Ported to libnm.
+* Added new libnm-based client library (libnma).
+* Add support for libappindicator.
+
+The following features were backported to 1.0.x releases from 1.0.0 to 1.0.10
+are also present in NetworkManager-1.2:
+
+* Bluetooth page in connection editor is now populated with available Bluetooth
+  devices
+* Added hotspot support to the editor
+* Password widgets now emits a signal for secret flag changes
+* The connection validation errors are now communicated in a tooltip
+* The editor is now able to edit the VLAN flags
+* Added option to set MTU of Team devices.
+* Added AppData for nm-connection-editor.
+* 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.
+* The applet is no longer started in GNOME 3
+* STP controls are no longer displayed if STP is disabled
+* Improved accessibility for screen reader users
