new stable release of the interface to simplify the configuration of network parameters - . to support VPN, OpenConnect, PPTP, OpenVPN, and OpenSWAN are developed through their own development cycles.
NetworkManager 1.22:
- Added "general reload" command to nmcli interface to reload NetworkManager settings and DNS settings;
- Added nm-cloud-setup utility to automatically configure NetworkManager in cloud environments (so far only EC2 clouds with IPv4 are supported);
- Proposed new network manager;
- The built-in plugin for DHCPv4 has been moved from the systemd codebase to use the n-dhcp4 library developed by the project ;
- Added support for the "Β» (reachability area);
- DHCP requests now support specifying flags
IAID and FQDN; - Added property '802-1x.optional' to define optional authentication in wired networks;
- When determining the device state, information about the cost of a wireless connection is taken into account (Network Cost Wi-Fi element);
- Proposed setting main.auth-polkit=root-only to disable PolicyKit and grant access to root only;
- Launch completion status is now set immediately after
connection of the device ("connected" state), but without waiting for the assignment of an IP address, which avoids blocking "NetworkManager-wait-online.service" and "network-online.target". In case of problems, you can use the "ipv4.may-fail=no" and "ipv6.may-fail=no" parameters to delay the assignment of the "connected" state until the address is obtained; - The NMDeviceWimax and NMWimaxNsp APIs have been removed from libnm, as the
NetworkManager support for WiMAX was removed back in 2016; - The libnm API for accessing D-Bus in synchronous mode has been deprecated;
- Significantly redesigned internals of NMClient, which can be used as a stripped down version of libnm;
- Support for the BlueZ 4 Blutooth stack has been discontinued (BlueZ 2012 has been developing since 5).
