- Support for configuring connection check timeouts has been added.
- Support for configuring network interfaces of virtual Ethernet devices (veth) has been added to the nmtui utility.
- Content from /etc/hosts is taken into account when determining the hostname from the reverse zone in DNS.

- Support for using multiple gateways for one network in ndisc has been added.
- For wireless configurations in access point mode, support for configuring the wireless channel width (channel-width) has been added.
