ConnMan 1.28 was released Sunday, February 1st, 2015.
Upgrading ConnMan is strongly encouraged as this release fixes an issue
with DHCPv6 retransmission timer calculation that causes system load to
jump to 100%. In addition, all WiFi P2P issues encountered with Miracast
have been addressed thanks to persistent the reporting and fixing by
Jussi Kukkonen, Tomasz Bursztyka and Jukka Rissanen.
ConnMan no longer hands off foreground autoscanning to wpa_supplicant as
it causes issues when finding hidden WiFi networks. As a result, the
previously recommended build time option has be removed from the
documentation. wpa_supplicant can still be built with autoscan enabled
but as ConnMan no longer enables it run time the issue is mitigated.
Other changes and fixes include:
* Several fixes for handling IPv6 contexts via oFono (Pasi Sjöholm)
* Fix memory deallocation in exit code paths (Hannu Mallat)
* Use OPEN auth_alg for wpa_supplicant open WiFi networks (Slava Monich)
* A WiFi Access Point with unknown strength now has a proper minimum value
which translates to a service 'Strenght' property of 30 (Patrik Flykt)
* Fix byte order in DHCP server identifier (Jukka Rissanen)
* Properly cancel an ongoing service connect if the Agent exits
(Patrik Flykt)
(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
