.NetworkManager rebased to version 1.40.16
The `NetworkManager` packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.40.16, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version:
* The `nm-cloud-setup` utility preserves externally added addresses.
* A race condition was fixed that prevented the automatic activation of MACsec connections at boot.
* NetworkManager now correctly calculates expiration times for items configured from IPv6 neighbor discovery messages.
* NetworkManager now automatically updates the `/etc/resolv.conf` file when the configuration changes.
* NetworkManager no longer sets non-existent interfaces as primary when activating a bond.
* Setting a primary interface in a bond now always works, even if the interface does not exist when you active the bond.
* The `NetworkManager --print-config` command no longer prints duplicate entries.
* The `ifcfg-rh` plug-in can now read InfiniBand P-Key connection profiles without an explicit interface name.
* The `nmcli` utility can now remove a bond port connection profile from a bond.
* A race condition was fixed that could occur during the activation of `veth` profiles if the peer already existed.
* NetworkManager now rejects DHCPv6 leases if all addresses fail IPv6 duplicate address detection (DAD).
* NetworkManager now waits until interfaces are connected before trying to resolve the system hostname on these interfaces from DNS.
* Profiles created by the `nm-initrd-generator` utility now have a lower-than-default priority.

the 9.2 release notes link to the upstream NEWS file. That seems useful to me, but is not done here? Maybe do that as well? The exact link would be https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/blob/1.40.16/NEWS 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 (NetworkManager 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/RHBA-2023:2968 |
