Notable changes include: * NetworkManager includes now basic OpenVSwitch support, good enough to be capable of setting up simple OpenVSwitch configurations. * Added support for activating PPP connections on non-Ethernet interfaces. * It is now possible to authenticate to a Wi-Fi network using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). * Implemented support for Wi-Fi PMF (Protected Management Frames, 802.11w), which can be configured via the wifi-sec.pmf property. * Now the maximum rate of wireless access points supporting 802.11 is properly calculated and exposed on D-Bus. * Background scanning is now disabled for non-WPA-Enterprise Wi-Fi networks. * Added support for the Bluetooth NAP (Network Access Point) profile. * Added support for disabling connectivity checking via the D-Bus interface. * The internal DHCP client now understands the domain-search option * Bridge connections support the group-forward-mask property. * NetworkManager can now configure multiple IPv6 default routes received through RA and each gets configured with the announced preference. * It is possible to specify the routing table for each static route. * Support specifying a explicit routing table for any non-static-route, including routes from DHCP, device-routes, IPv6 autoconf. * Device are left configured when a user sets them as unmanaged by NetworkManager. * New connection.auth-retry property to configure how often authentication is prompted before failing the configuration. * The platform code that handles synchronization with kernel status via netlink has been reworked and is more efficient. * Allowed the update of connections that have an associated ifcfg-rh routing rules file. * Improve bash completion for nmcli. * Non-UTF8 properties are now escaped when they are exported on D-Bus. * NetworkManager-wait-online.service now starts NetworkManager.service if needed. * The MAC address for bond connections can be changed in nmtui. * Fixed dependency problems when setting the MTU of VLAN and master devices. * The systemd-resolved DNS plugin properly handles the DNS priority setting. * Fixed setting a DHCP timeout greater than 60 seconds (dhclient). * Fixed some memory leaks. * Many other bug fixes and improvements.
