.NetworkManager rebased to version 1.30.0
The `NetworkManager` packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.30.0, which provides a number of enhancements and bug fixes over the previous version:
* The `ipv4.dhcp-reject-servers` connection property has been added to define from which DHCP server IDs NetworkManager should reject lease offers.
* The `ipv4.dhcp-vendor-class-identifier` connection property has been added to send a custom Vendor Class Identifier DHCP option value.
* The `active_slave` bond option has been deprecated. Instead, set the `primary` option in the controller connection.
* The `nm-initrd-generator` utility now supports MAC addresses to indicate interfaces.
* The `nm-initrd-generator` utility generator now supports creating InfiniBand connections.
* The timeout of the `NetworkManager-wait-online` service has been increased to 60 seconds.
* The `ipv4.dhcp-client-id=ipv6-duid` connection property has been added to be compliant to link:https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4361[RFC4361].
* Additional `ethtool` offload features have been added.
* Support for the WPA3 Enterprise Suite-B 192-bit mode has been added.
* Support for virtual Ethernet (`veth`) devices has been added.

> Thomas, can you please review the release note for this rebase (see Doc Text field)?
Is anything missing or superfluous? I'm not sure if the nm-initrd-generator entries are relevant. Do users run this tool or does dracut runs it?
About nm-initrd-generator, it's not "manually" run by users. But if a user does network boot (setting up network in initrd, and possibly boot from network), then the user indirectly uses it. I think it's therefore relevant for those users.
It's a very nice summary!! Thank you. I don't have anything to add/suggest.
and, it's in particular correct that we now rebase to 1.30.0. the link to the NEWS file is also correct -- although it does not work yet because 1.30.0 will only be released tomorrow. 1.30 is ready to ship. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory (Moderate: NetworkManager and libnma security, bug fix, and enhancement update), and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:1574 |
