- The launch completion state is now set immediately after
- the device connection (state "connected"), without waiting for the IP address assignment, which helps avoid blocking by "NetworkManager-wait-online.service" and "network-online.target". In case of issues, the parameters "ipv4.may-fail=no" and "ipv6.may-fail=no" can be used to defer the assignment of the "connected" state until the address is received;
The NMDeviceWimax and NMWimaxNsp APIs have been removed from libnm, as support for WiMAX was removed from NetworkManager back in 2016; - The D-Bus calling API in synchronous mode has been deprecated in libnm;
The internals of NMClient have been significantly reworked, which can be used as a trimmed-down version of libnm; - Support for the BlueZ 4 Bluetooth stack has been discontinued (BlueZ 5 has been in development since 2012).
