Public bug reported: [Freeze Exception Rationale]
We would like to request a Feature Freeze exception for the new netplan 0.99 as this release will be carrying important roadmap features targeted for 20.04. Everything got drastically delayed due to not having a full-time netplan maintainer for most part of the cycle, but the features we want to deliver are still considered important. We are well aware of how late it is in the cycle, and in normal circumstances we would not request such an exception, but releasing the new netplan version will also unblock some of the other teams. Notably the generation of libnetplan will unblock other feature requests in packages like NetworkManager for uc20. Please note that this is a preemptive FFe as 0.99 is not yet ready to be uploaded (as we are waiting for final schema approvals and reviews). The most notable changes (besides usual bug-fixes) incoming in 0.99: * Adding `phase2` keyword to `auth` section * Allowing `critical` to be used without `dhcp4`/`dhcp6` enabled * Support for GSM modems in the NetworkManager backend (with the `modems` keyword) * Adding `emit-lldp` option for networkd backend * Split out the netplan parser into a separate libnetplan library * Adding `ipv6-address-generation` field for NM backend * Adding WiFi flags for `bssid`/`band`/`channel` An not yet merged, but will be included: * Adding support for SR-IOV network devices List of commits already merged and ready for 0.99: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/33QPMVF4fy/ And one of the big PRs still in review: * https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/netplan/pull/129 All the changes are completely backward-compatible and users should not notice any behavior changes if not using any of the new features. So far we have done some test-builds and test-installations locally of the packages without any trouble, running autopkgtests on those as well. When preparing 0.99 we will of course first make sure the package still builds correctly and autopkgtests look good. We will also do upgrade testing and provide the results here.
