ConnMan 0.78 was released on December 2nd, 2011. The 0.78 release cycle was a lot longer than usual, along with other projects ConnMan took a hit with kernel.org downtime.
With this release, WISPr WiFi hotspot logins are fully supported. With an UI to aide in asking login credentials, ConnMan can now authenticate the user in a WISPr enabled hotspot and thus be granted WiFi network access. This was made possible by Tomasz Bursztyka integrating the WISPr tool implemented by Marcel Holtmann. Enabling and disabling WiFi, Ethernet and Cellular Technology is now in a very much better shape thanks to the efforts made by Alok Barsode. Initially ConnMan starts in online mode with all Technologies disabled. This choice of initial values makes ConnMan robust against unintended network usage on first startup. This release also saw a lot of bugfixes. Almost half of the commits fix bugs and other discovered issues with 30 of them being reported via Bugzilla. A big thanks for bugfixing go to Alok Barsode, Arron Wang, Daniel Wagner, Danny Jeongseok Seo, Grant Erickson, Jeff Zheng, Jukka Rissanen, Julien Massot, Marcel Holtmann, Philippe Nunes, Samuel Ortiz and Tomasz Bursztyka! On the developer front several areas were updated. Alok Barsode cleared up settings saving and Tomasz Bursztyka updated iptables handling. Daniel Wagner improved Session handling and converted GLib atomic types to GCC ones. Jukka Rissanen added support for PPTP and L2TP tunneling. Do note that PPTP and L2TP lack IPSec protection at the moment, for now the tunneled packets go through unencrypted. In addition to this, Provider VPN settings are now saved on a successful connect. Thus all Provider settings need not be specified every time. Being connected via either IPv4, IPv6 or both at the same time is now handled correctly. This allows ConnMan to connect properly in any kind of network setup independent of the IP protocol version and makes ConnMan an even better behaving IPv6 citizen. Reordering of services also received a lot of updates. Thus corner cases should now be properly handled and service ordering and their states should always be set correctly.
