ANN: NetworkManager 1.1.91 (1.2-beta3) released

[Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak v3 sk>]

Hello,

I'm pleased to announce the release of the third beta version of
NetworkManager 1.2 (1.1.92), and the same version of nm-applet,
nm-connection-editor and VPN plugins.

Compared to previous beta release we've ironed a couple of wrinkles. Notably a 
long standing issue with missing ability to verify 802.1x subject was addressed
(the has a CVE number of CVE-2006-7246 associated as it has security
implications). For the old-fashioned users we've now restored the option to 
avoid using a symlink to manage /etc/resolv.conf. We've improved the behavior
with VLANs on software devices (bonds, bridges...) and included some fixes
that improve cross-version compatibility with older clients.

We now consider the code base quite stable, so this is the last "beta"
release. A release candidate will follow in a week or so.
