RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
.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.

Description Beniamino Galvani 2020-09-14 14:02:47 UTC 
Rebase NM in RHEL 8.4 to the latest upstream version to pick up new features and recent fixes. This is safe to do as newer versions of NM never break API/ABI and guarantee backwards compatibility. The project also has an extensive CI suite to avoid regressions.
Comment 5 Thomas Haller 2021-02-17 16:28:35 UTC 
> 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.
Comment 6 Thomas Haller 2021-02-17 16:31:52 UTC 
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.
Comment 7 Vladimir Benes 2021-02-22 15:20:16 UTC 
1.30 is ready to ship.
