NetworkManager 1.4 is now the latest stable and most advanced version of the widely-used software, replacing the NetworkManager 1.2 release, and promising to add many improvements to keep the quality of the application as high as possible, but also to fix those annoying issues reported by users from the previous maintenance update. The biggest new features of NetworkManager 1.4 are the ability to set IPv6 tokenized interface identifiers by using the ‘ipv6.token’ connection property, support for oFono as modem manager, a new ‘VPN_PLUGIN’ logging domain, as well as support for automatic disconnection of network devices before the operating system suspends.
