Hello, a major update to NetworkManager, a service that manages our network connectivity is planned to be released later this year. ====================================================================== TLDR: If you're a maintainer of a VPN plugin, we'll reach out to you with the port to new API soon. If you use libnm-glib your application won't break, but libnm is better. ====================================================================== We plan to import a snapshot of the pre-release code very early (probably in one week's time). We believe the code base is in a very solid state and this will make it possible to start ironing out the remaining wrinkles early and make use of the new features. Among usual pile of fixes this release will bring new client libraries (libnm and libnma) that essentially modernized and streamlined versions of existing libraries (libnm-glib, libnm-vpn, libnm-util and libnm -gtk). We're keeping the old libraries so libnm-glib users will be unaffected with one exception: due to glib type system restrictions libnm-glib and libnm can't be loaded at the same time. Therefore libnm-based VPN preferences plugins can't be mixed with libnm-glib based applications and vice versa. To fix this situations the VPN plugins will provide both libnm-glib and libnm based versions of the preferences plugins. NetworkManager 1.2 provides a compatibility shim to make the porting easier. We'll do the porting and submit changes to the upstreams and the package maintainers. A repository with new versions of the daemon, connection editor and VPN plugins is available here: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/lkundrak/NetworkManager/ ♥, Lubo -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
