Overview of changes in libmbim 1.14 ---------------------------------------- * New support for the 'QMI over MBIM' service, so that clients can use libqmi to build messages and libmbim to transport them. * The GUDev library, which we use to read the max message size from the USB descriptor, is now optional. When configuring, it will be used by default only if it's found. It can also be explicitly disabled using the new configure switch '--without-udev' or explicitly enabled using '--with-udev'. If GUDev isn't used, libmbim-glib will rely on sysfs directly. * libmbim-glib updates: ** Added support for building messages of custom services. * mbim-network updates: ** Added support for loading profiles from different paths using the new '--profile' option. This makes it possible to use mbim-network with multiple devices running in the same system. ** Added support to allow specifying APN user (APN_USER), password (APN_PASS) and authentication type (APN_AUTH) in the profile. ** Added support to allow using the mbim-proxy setup by configuring it in the profile file (PROXY=yes). * Several other minor improvements and fixes. The following features which were backported to 1.12.x releases are also present in libmbim 1.14.0: * mbimcli updates: ** Updated '--connect' arguments to allow specifying "key=value" pairs. The old legacy "[(APN),(PAP|CHAP|MSCHAPV2),(Username),(Password)]" format is kept as valid for backwards compatibility, although it should be assumed deprecated. ** Longer timeouts for connect/register operations. ** Report IP configuration when connected. ** Allow specifying session ids. * libmbim-glib updates: ** Probing retry interval increased to 5s. Overview of changes in libmbim 1.12 ---------------------------------------- * New `--enable-mbim-username' option during configure, which allows specifying which will be the user owning the /dev/cdc-wdm character devices of all MBIM modems (udev rules are installed to change file ownership). If this option is used, the mbim-proxy will only allow connections from processes running by the specified user or by the root user. * Function error messages can now be returned by the MbimDevice as responses to `Command', `Open' or `Close' messages. Users of the library should not assume the type of message returned to the previous actions. * The MbimProxy will monitor for 'NotOpened' errors, and when one detected it will directly close the internal MbimDevice. Any subsequent request sent by clients to that specific device will be aborted with a proxy-generated 'NotOpened' error. Clients will need to explicitly reopen the ports in that case. * The API now has a new mbim_message_response_get_result() method which allows getting a GError from a message which may be of a specific type (e.g. a `Command Done' message in response to a `Command' request) or instead the generic `Function Error' message type. Users of the library can use this new method to avoid assuming the type of message returned. E.g. the following check: mbim_message_command_done_get_result (response, &error); Can be updated as: mbim_message_response_get_result (response, MBIM_MESSAGE_TYPE_COMMAND_DONE, &error); And the same logic can be applied to `Open' and `Close' messages. * Other bugfixes and minor improvements: ** Attach timeout and idle events to the thread-default context. ** Fix bashisms in the mbim-network script. Overview of changes in libmbim 1.10 ---------------------------------------- * API break: Flag values in 'MbimRegistrationFlag' were updated to match the ones in the MBIM documentation. * Implemented a new 'mbim-proxy', which allows sharing a single MBIM control port among different processes. The usage of the proxy is optional, and can be requested by specifying the MBIM_DEVICE_OPEN_FLAGS_PROXY flag in the new mbim_device_open_full() method. The 'mbimcli' command line tool was also extended with a new '--device-open-proxy,-p' option, to allow requesting the use of the proxy process. * New 'removed' signal added to the MbimDevice, to notify when the underlying connection to the device is lost (e.g. lost connection to the mbim-proxy, or lost access to the MBIM control port). * Added support for registering and using custom services. * Added additional GMM cause codes to MbimNwError. * Transactions are now matched not only by ID but also by type. * Several other minor improvements and fixes. Overview of changes in libmbim 1.8 ---------------------------------------- * Added support for additional MBIM messages: MBIM_CID_MS_FIRMWARE_ID_GET MBIM_CID_MS_HOST_SHUTDOWN_NOTIFY * Updated mbimcli with new commands: --set-radio-state --ms-query-firmware-id --ms-notify-host-shutdown --dss-connect --dss-disconnect * Several enums and functions were renamed, and marked as deprecated. A small layer is given to provide backwards compatibility. * Several other minor improvements and fixes. Overview of changes in libmbim 1.6 ---------------------------------------- * Updated mbimcli with new commands: --phonebook-query-configuration --phonebook-read --phonebook-read-all --phonebook-write --phonebook-delete --phonebook-delete-all * Added generation of man pages for mbimcli and mbim-network. * Several other minor improvements and fixes. Overview of changes in libmbim 1.4 ---------------------------------------- * Added support for additional MBIM messages: MBIM_SMS_CONFIGURATION MBIM_SMS_READ MBIM_SMS_SEND MBIM_SMS_DELETE MBIM_SMS_MESSAGE_STORE_STATUS MBIM_USSD MBIM_PHONEBOOK_CONFIGURATION MBIM_PHONEBOOK_READ MBIM_PHONEBOOK_DELETE MBIM_PHONEBOOK_WRITE MBIM_STK_PAC MBIM_STK_TERMINAL_RESPONSE MBIM_STK_ENVELOPE MBIM_DEVICE_SERVICE_SUBSCRIBER_LIST MBIM_AUTH_AKA MBIM_AUTH_AKAP MBIM_AUTH_SIM MBIM_PACKET_STATISTICS MBIM_NETWORK_IDLE_HINT MBIM_EMERGENCY_MODE MBIM_IP_PACKET_FILTERS MBIM_DSS_CONNECT MBIM_MULTICARRIER_PROVIDERS * Updated mbimcli with new commands: --query-packet-statistics * Use gtester to run unit tests. Overview of changes in libmbim 1.2 ---------------------------------------- * Added support for additional MBIM messages: MBIM_VISIBLE_PROVIDERS MBIM_PREFERRED_PROVIDERS MBIM_HOME_PROVIDER MBIM_SERVICE_ACTIVATION * Updated mbimcli with new commands: --query-visible-providers --query-preferred-providers --query-home-provider --query-signal-state --no-open --noop * Updated mbim-network with session support, keeping TRID sequence between commands. * New symbols to check library version. Overview of changes in libmbim 1.0 ---------------------------------------- * Updated mbimcli with new commands: --enter-pin --change-pin --enable-pin --disable-pin --enter-puk --query-registration-state --register-automatic --query-packet-service-state --attach-packet-service --detach-packet-service --query-connection-state --connect --disconnect --no-close * Removed the 'basic-connect' prefix from mbimcli commands. * New 'mbim-network' script to help launch a connection through the shell. * Added gtk-doc documentation Overview of changes in libmbim 0.0.1 ---------------------------------------- Initial release.
