These properties limit whether the connection applies to a certain WWAN modem
based on the modem's device ID or SIM ID (as reported by the WWAN management
service), or through the MCC/MNC ID of the operator that issued the SIM card.
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].

It is not used externally and its use might be confusing and undesired when we
add plugin aliases. The external users should only use the name when idenfiying
the plugin and nm_vpn_plugin_info_list_find_by_service() when matchin the plugin.
GLib introspection requires all types returned by public functions to
be GObjects, basic types or boxed types in order to correctly manage
resources. NMLldpNeighbor was a plain struct and GI complained with:
Warning: NM: nm_lldp_neighbor_new: return value: Invalid non-constant return of bare structure or union; register as boxed type or (skip)
To fix this define NMLldpNeighbor as a boxed type.

The plugins set state only on failures and often forget to do that. Do the
correct status transition to STOPPED in nm_vpn_service_plugin_failure() instead.
The get_state() is only used to find out whether to fail or orderly disconnect
depending on whether we're STARTING or already STARTED. Handle that in
nm_vpn_service_plugin_disconnect() in a generic manner instead.
Make it possible to construct the plugin instance in a way that disconnects the
connection if the DBus client that activated it drops off the bus. This makes the
plugins conveniently clean up when NetworkManager crashes.
We need this, as with multiple VPN support we can loose track of the client bus
names when the daemon crashes leaving to nice way to clean up on respawn.
However, this behavior is not desired for debugging or hypotetical VPN plugin
users other than NetworkManager (say; "gdbus call -m o.fd.NM.VPN.Plugin.Connect").
Let the plugin decide when to use it.
Document that the GPtrArray returned by
- nm_device_get_lldp_neighbors()
- nm_ip_config_get_addresses()
- nm_ip_config_get_routes()
is immutable and can be used by callers without the need of a copy.
Add the 'lldp' property to NMSettingConnection, which specifies
whether the reception and parsing of LLDP frames to discover neighbor
devices should be enabled.
This is intentionally IPv4 specific since this is used for a quick fallback to
method=link-local -- something that's not needed for IPv6 since the link local
address is always there.

Otherwise the uninitializeded objects could be prematurely signalled if their
paths are seen twice in quick succession. This happens when you have ethernet
hardware and add an ethernet connection -- it's immediatelly added to
AvialableConnections and the property reload signals the object addition
before the NMRemoteSettings's GetSettings() finishes:
# nmcli c add type ethernet autoconnect no ifname '*'

Connection '(null)' ((null)) successfully added.

We now (since 3272ff6 libnm/libnm-glib: don't quit in the middle of asking for
secrets) always hook on the quit timer when NM asks the plugin if it needs
secrets. The timer is 20 seconds, which seems too short.
Let's make it three minutes. Don't bother adding another timer or using a
distinct timeout: it does no harm for the plugin to remain unused for three
minutes on a bus.
Another option would be to completely unhook it; however the plugin wouldn't
learn if the user cancelled the NM's secrets request and would remain unused
on the bus forever.
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.

connection_added() can be called before init_get_settings_cb(), and we can't
complete the connection until it is visible, else it would be uninitialized.

[lkundrak@v3.sk: This is not quite the correct fix, we shouldn't emit
NMObject:connection-added for an unfinished object. Nevertheless, let's go with
it until we have a better one. Will revert this afterwards. See linked bugs.]

Backport to 1.0.6 the following symbols:
- nm_setting_wired_get_wake_on_lan
- nm_setting_wired_get_wake_on_lan_password
- nm_setting_wired_wake_on_lan_get_type
added to 1.0.6 with commit d449d82304
API should be added with "Since:" of the next release on the same branch.
That means, new API on 1.1 branch (development), should be "Since: 1.2"
and new API on 1.0 branch (stable) will be "Since: 1.0.x". Similarly, new
API on master is NM_AVAILABLE_IN_1_2 and will be added with the linker
version libnl_1_2 -- never the versions of minor releases.
It is also strongly advised that for the 1.0 branch, we only add API
that was previously formerly added on master. IOW, that we only do true
backports of API that already exists on master.
API that gets backported, must also be added to master via NM_BACKPORT_SYMBOL().
That gives ABI compatibility and an application that was build against 1.0.x
will work with 1.y.z version (y > 0) without need for recompiling -- provided
that 1.y.z also contains that API.
There is one important caveat: if a major branch (e.g. current master) has a
linker section of backported APIs (e.g. libnm_1_0_6), we must do the minor release
(1.0.6) before the next major release (1.2). The reason is that after the major
release, the linker section (libnm_1_0_6) must not be extended and thus
the minor release (1.0.6) must be already released at that point.
In general, users should avoid using backported API because it limits
the ability to upgrade to arbitrary later versions. But together with the
previous point (that we only backport API to minor releases), a user that
uses backported API can be sure that a 1.y.z version is ABI compatible with
1.0.x, if the 1.y.z release date was after the release date of 1.0.x.
This reverts commit 02a136682c.
