ANN: NetworkManager 1.1.90 (1.2-beta1) released

[Lubomir Rintel <lrintel redhat com>]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of NetworkManager 1.1.90 (1.2-beta1)
and the same version of nm-applet, nm-connection-editor and the VPN plugins.

This is a first pre-release version of the next NetworkManager version, 1.2.
It's been in development for over a year now and contains fair amount of
new features, bug fixes and also some extensive internal changes.
There will be at least one pre-release before we'll do a 1.2 stable release.

At this point the code is feature complete and the essential functionality
has been tested to work well. That said, there's a lot of testing to be done
before we can do a stable release. We need your help with that!

While it's not recommended to run the pre-release in production, we
encourage you to test the new release and report any issues you encounter.

If you are a maintainer of a Linux distribution or a tool that utilizes
NetworkManager, you're even more encouraged to try the pre-release.
NetworkManager 1.2 will be API and ABI compatible with NetworkManager 1.0.x,
series (with the exception of the editor that won't load old VPN plugins
due to a symbol clash between libnm and legacy libnm-gtk).

A fairly complete summary of changes is available here:

NetworkManager 1.2 the best and most robust NetworkManager release ever!
