> .NetworkManager rebased to version 1.42

The exact version is 1.42.2. We could spell that out.

"nm-1-42" is the name of the upstream branch, which will get updates with more minor releases like 1.42.4. We could link the the NEWS file of the exact release, which is: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/blob/1.42.2/NEWS
