Bug Description
NetworkManager 0.9.4.0 will be released by March 23; and is my current target as a stable release for NetworkManager, network-
Changes for NetworkManager so far (NM 0.9.4~rc1), on top of the package already in Precise are below, meaningful, non-bugfix changes are annotated:
- wifi: make sure we're connected to netlink before using it
- libnm-glib: add 'registered' property for NMSecretAgent (trivial, meant to support fixes for GNOME-Shell assertion errors)
- keyfile: fix testcases after InfiniBand transport-mode default change
- wifi: disable Ad-Hoc WPA connections (LP: #905748) (closing a bug report from Ubuntu)
- infiniband: fix missing sentinel
- Add a workaround for a problem creating InfiniBand connections
- core: treat missing IPv6 setting as AUTO (makes IP6 be enabled by default for connections that support it, already largely available in Ubuntu, this cleans up some use cases, I consider it borderline as a feature, so it's listed here)
- libnm-glib: add errors to nm_device_
classes (bugfix: gives clearer errors for matching connections to devices)
- vpn: add a new field so VPN plugins can specify multiple domains (feature: supports fixes for a regression when using dnsmasq with VPNs; where only one VPN search domain gets added, see bug 924013)
- dnsmasq: allow proxying dnssec data (upstreamed Ubuntu patch)
- gsm: pass the PPP auth preferences for STATIC and DHCP device use
- core: allow IPv4 to fail by default (feature; make IPv4 optional, connections still fail if both ipv4 and ipv6 timeout; see bug 761558)
