Notable changes include: * Don't deconfigure devices we can take over on shutdown. Makes it possible to restart without connection disruption for most device types -* Fixed a race condition that could cause Wi-Fi device do be identified - as Ethernet while it's being removed +* Avoid reading the permanent MAC address before the device is initialized + by UDEV. This avoids a race where NetworkManager might detect the MAC + address of the wrong interface. +* Fixed race condition when renaming interfaces, for example as done + by UDEV for persistent interface naming. This could cause detecting + a Wi-Fi interface as ethernet. * Fixed a race condition in libnm that could cause a client hang if a last value from a property of object array type disappeared * Fixed a possible nmcli hang on D-Bus object fetch failure
