'capture portal detection' is something else, and exposing whether a connection is metered or not through the API is nice, but doesn't mean the information it exposes is actually *correct* or has changed in any way. I'm not saying it's *not* in 1.0.6, just that that text doesn't seem to say it is. :) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
