USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE!
Notable changes included in this snapshot so far include:

* NetworkManager would now keep most connections up on shutdown (except Wi-Fi
connections, VPN connections and other kinds that can't be assumed on
startup)
* The checkpoint/restore connection can now also remove new connections and
disconnect devices that were activated since the checkpoint was taken.
* The configuration is now read from /run/NetworkManager/conf.d as well.

* New connection.autoconnect_retries property that allows fine-tuning
the autoconnect behavior.
* Support for configuration and discovery of Web Proxy settings with
PacRunner service.
* Support for systemd-resolved local DNS forwarder backend.
* Fix emission of NM-style PropertiesChanged signals and deprecate them

* Change the meaning of unset "cloned-mac-address" settings from "permanent" to
