Major new features in NetworkManager 1.2.2 are the ability to read hostname under Slackware Linux operating systems, as well as the implementation of reliable and stable IPv6 addresses for default wired connections. Additionally, the reading of port names under s390 systems powered by a Linux kernel from the long-term supported 4.4 series and newer branches should work as expected, and the nmcli component will no longer warn users about version mismatches.
