gi now emits a warning when not loading a specific library
version [1]:
./generate-setting-docs.py:21: PyGIWarning: NM was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version(NM, 1.0) before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import NM, GObject
Seems require_version() is reasonably old to just always use it without
breaking on older versions [2].

(cherry picked from commit 8d1233e67e)
For libnm library, "nm-dbus-interface.h" contains defines like the D-Bus
paths of NetworkManager. It is desirable to have this header usable without
having a dependency on "glib.h", for example for a QT application. For that,
commit c0852964a8 removed that dependancy.
For libnm-glib library, the analog to "nm-dbus-interface.h" is
"NetworkManager.h", and the same applies there. Commit
159e827a72 removed that include.
However, that broke build on PackageKit [1] which expected to get the
version macros by including "NetworkManager.h". So at least for libnm-glib,
we need to preserve old behavior so that a user including
"NetworkManager.h" gets the version macros, but not "glib.h".
Extract the version macros to a new header file "nm-version-macros.h".
This header doesn't include "glib.h" and can be included from
"NetworkManager.h". This gives as previous behavior and a glib-free
include.
For libnm we still don't include "nm-version-macros.h" to "nm-dbus-interface.h".
Very few users will actually need the version macros, but not using
libnm.
Users that use libnm, should just include (libnm's) "NetworkManager.h" to
get all headers.
As a special case, a user who doesn't want to use glib/libnm, but still
needs both "nm-dbus-interface.h" and "nm-version-macros.h", can include
them both separately.

(cherry picked from commit 7bf10a75db)
Routing table entries for a device get flushed when the device is
deactivated, but rules table entries don't, so we have to flush them
by hand.
(cherry picked from commit 8de1bec803)
If a connection has an associated "rule-NAME" or "rule6-NAME" file,
don't try to read in the routes, since NetworkManager won't be able to
parse them correctly. Instead, log a warning that they will need to be
applied via a dispatcher script, and provide a script that would do
that in examples/dispatcher/.
(cherry picked from commit f79d62692e)
Update the raw D-Bus python examples to use newer APIs where
appropriate (and split the add-connection example into 1.0-only and
0.9-compatible versions). Update the gi-based python examples for the
various API changes since they were last updated.
Also add a comment to the ruby add-connection example pointing out
that it's still using the old settings APIs.
config.h should be included from every .c file, and it should be
included before any other include. Fix that.
(As a side effect of how I did this, this also changes us to
consistently use "config.h" rather than <config.h>. To the extent that
it matters [which is not much], quotes are more correct anyway, since
we're talking about a file in our own build tree, not a system
include.)
Split a base NMSettingIPConfig class out of NMSettingIP4Config and
NMSettingIP6Config, and update things accordingly.
Further simplifications of now-redundant IPv4-vs-IPv6 code are
possible, and should happen in the future.
libnm mostly used GPtrArrays in its APIs, except that arrays of
connections were usually GSLists. Fix this and make them GPtrArrays
too (and rename nm_client_list_connections() to
nm_client_get_connections() to match everything else).
Make synchronous APIs take GCancellables, and make asynchronous APIs
use GAsyncReadyCallbacks and have names ending in "_async", with
"_finish" functions to retrieve the results.
Also, make nm_client_activate_connection_finish(),
nm_client_add_and_activate_finish(), and
nm_remote_settings_add_connection_finish() be (transfer full) rather
than (transfer none), because the refcounting semantics become
slightly confusing in some edge cases otherwise.
Merge nm_remote_settings_add_connection() and
nm_remote_settings_add_connection_unsaved(), and likewise
nm_remote_connection_commit_changes() and
nm_remote_connection_commit_changes_unsaved(), by adding a boolean
flag to each saying whether to save to disk.
Port libnm-core/libnm to GDBus.
The NetworkManager daemon continues to use dbus-glib; the
previously-added connection hash/variant conversion methods are now
moved to NetworkManagerUtils (along with a few other utilities that
are now only needed by the daemon code).
Port the dbus-glib-based examples to GDBus.
Also, don't use libnm in them at all; there's not much point in
examples that use the D-Bus API directly if they're just going to fall
back to libnm for the hard stuff... (And also, this avoids the problem
that GDBus uses GVariant, while the libnm-core APIs currently still
use GHashTables.)
Also fix up some comment grammar and copyright style, and add emacs
modelines where missing.
Also rename the existing GDBus-based examples to have names ending in
"-gdbus", not "-GDBus", since there's no reason to gratuitously
capitalize here.
libnm functions that return GPtrArrays of objects had a rule that if
the array was empty, they would return NULL rather than a 0-length
array. As it turns out, this is just a nuisance to clients, since in
most places the code for the non-empty case would end up doing the
right thing for the empty case as well (and where it doesn't, we can
check "array->len == 0" just as easily as "array == NULL"). So just
return the 0-length array instead.
APIs that take arbitrary data should take it in the form of a pointer
and length, not a GByteArray, so that you can use them regardless of
what format you have the data in (GByteArray, GBytes, plain array,
etc).
Rename nm_connection_to_hash() to nm_connection_to_dbus(), and
nm_connection_new_from_hash() to nm_connection_new_from_dbus(). In
addition to clarifying that this is specifically the D-Bus
serialization format, these names will also work better in the
GDBus-based future where the serialization format is GVariant, not
GHashTable.
Also, move NMSettingHashFlags to nm-connection.h, and rename it
NMConnectionSerializationFlags.
The fact that NMRemoteConnection has to be an NMConnection and
therefore can't be an NMObject means that it needs to reimplement bits
of NMObject functionality (and likewise NMObject needs some special
magic to deal with it). Likewise, we will need a daemon-side
equivalent of NMObject as part of the gdbus port, and we would want
NMSettingsConnection to be able to inherit from this as well.
Solve this problem by making NMConnection into an interface, and
having NMRemoteConnection and NMSettingsConnection implement it. (We
use some hacks to keep the GHashTable of NMSettings objects inside
nm-connection.c rather than having to be implemented by the
implementations.)
Since NMConnection is no longer an instantiable type, this adds
NMSimpleConnection to replace the various non-D-Bus-based uses of
NMConnection throughout the code. nm_connection_new() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new(), nm_connection_new_from_hash() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new_from_hash(), and nm_connection_duplicate()
becomes nm_simple_connection_new_clone().
NMRemoteSettings duplicates a bunch of NMObject's functionality that
it doesn't need to. In libnm-glib, it wouldn't have been possible to
port NMRemoteSettings to NMObject without breaking ABI, but now in
libnm we can do that.
As a side effect of this, NMRemoteSettings gains a "connections"
property, and "connection-added" and "connection-removed" signals
(with the former replacing the old "new-connection" signal). This also
removes the "connections-loaded" signal, since the connections will
now always be loaded (via the initialization of the "connections"
property) during init()/init_async().
Also, this removes NMRemoteConnection's "removed" signal, since it's
redundant with the new NMRemoteSettings::connection-removed (and
having the signal on NMRemoteSettings instead is more consistent with
other objects).
Add NetworkManager.h, which includes all of the other NM header, and
require all external users of libnm to use that rather than the
individual headers.
(An exception is made for nm-dbus-interface.h,
nm-vpn-dbus-interface.h, and nm-version.h, which can be included
separately.)
"NetworkManager.h"'s name (and non-standard capitalization) suggest
that it's some sort of high-level super-important header, but it's
really just low-level D-Bus stuff. Rename it to "nm-dbus-interface.h"
and likewise "NetworkManagerVPN.h" to "nm-vpn-dbus-interface.h"
Remove _nm_object_ensure_inited(), etc; objects that implement
GInitable are now mandatory-to-init().
Remove constructor() implementations that sometimes return NULL; do
all the relevant checking in init() instead.
Make nm_client_new() and nm_remote_settings_new() take a GCancellable
and a GError**.
Most D-Bus interface name macros used "INTERFACE" in their name (eg,
NM_DBUS_INTERFACE), but a few used "IFACE" instead (eg,
NM_DBUS_IFACE_SETTINGS). Make them consistent.
Since the API has not changed at this point, this is mostly just a
matter of updating Makefiles, and changing references to the library
name in comments.
NetworkManager cannot link to libnm due to the duplicated type/symbol
names. So it links to libnm-core.la directly, which means that
NetworkManager gets a separate copy of that code from libnm.so.
Everything else links to libnm.
nm-version.h was getting disted, making srcdir!=builddir work for
tarball builds, but not for git builds.
Also, remove "-I${top_builddir}/include" from all Makefile.ams, since
there's nothing generated in include/ any more.
NetworkManager.h, NetworkManagerVPN.h, and nm-version.h are part of
the libnm-util API, so move them to libnm-util.
include/ still contains headers that are strictly NM-internal (eg,
nm-glib-compat.h).
nm_access_point_get_hw_address() is already deprecated since
pre-0.9.0-beta3 (f30e15a04d). However,
it also is defined as NM_DEPRECATED_IN_0_9_10, because there
are no deprecated macros for previous version.

Tighten up with suggestions from Johannes Buchner and mention
his contribution.
Also fixes operation with current nmcli since it changed from
"802-3-ethernet" -> "ethernet" and thus the script was broken.

The function toStdString() is only available when QT was
compiled with STL support. The configure script does
not check STL support and might build the QT examples
even if toStdString() is not available.
Fix this, by not using the function.
This fixes the previous commit f73e3669b3
that I pushed accidentally.
