Hi, I'm pleased to announce the release of NetworkManager 0.9. It's been over a year since we started the push to create a simpler, easier-to-use API and configuration system to base the next major version NetworkManager on. And we've delivered on that, thanks to the hard efforts of almost 150 contributors and countless testers. A special thanks to Daniel Gnoutcheff for his kickoff of this effort as the 2010 Summer of Code student.
Simpler and more flexible architecture means simpler client applications and cool new user interfaces, like the new GNOME Shell network indicator. It's easier than ever to talk to NetworkManager and make your applications network aware. The new permissions model makes it easier for administrators to configure system the way they want to, while giving home users the flexibility they need for multi-user machines. Other new features include support for Intel WiMAX devices for access to 4G WiMAX networks, fast user switching support, optimized WiFi roaming through wpa_supplicant background scanning and nl80211, GObject Introspection support for libnm-util and libnm-glib, and changes to make NetworkManager more friendly to embedded environments. These changes also prepare NetworkManager for the future by making additions to the API (like additional device states and modem capabilities) that allow us to provide cool new features like connectivity detection, portal auto-login, tied VPN connections, proxy and firewall handling, and much more.

You're why networking works; keep doing what you're doing.
