Overview of changes in libmbim 1.26
----------------------------------------
* Build now requires GLib/GObject/GIO 2.56.
* The GUdev optional build/runtime requirement is now fully dropped, it's no
longer used.
* Building from git no longer requires autoconf-archive, the needed AX_ macros
are now shipped inside m4/.
* In addition to building from a source release tarball, or building from git
checkouts using the GNU autotools suite (autoconf/automake/libtool), this
release includes the initial support for the meson build system. The meson
port is not fully complete yet, as there are some missing things in the doc
generation steps, but for system integration or development purposes, the
port should be fully operational. This major release, including all its
stable updates in the 1.26.x series, will be the last ones providing support
for GNU autotools. The next major release will likely be a meson-only one,
and will therefore not be based on a source release tarball any more, but
on specific git tags instead.
* Implemented new link management operations, exclusively for the cdc_mbim
driver for now. These new operations allow creating or deleting VLAN network
interfaces in order to run multiplexed data sessions over one single physical
network interface.
* Added support for the Microsoft-defined SAR service, including the following
operations:
** MBIM_CID_MS_SAR_CONFIG
** MBIM_CID_MS_SAR_TRANSMISSION_STATUS
* Added support for the Microsoft-defined UICC Low Level Access service,
including the following operations:
** MBIM_CID_MS_UICC_LOW_LEVEL_ACCESS_ATR
** MBIM_CID_MS_UICC_LOW_LEVEL_ACCESS_OPEN_CHANNEL
** MBIM_CID_MS_UICC_LOW_LEVEL_ACCESS_CLOSE_CHANNEL
** MBIM_CID_MS_UICC_LOW_LEVEL_ACCESS_APDU
** MBIM_CID_MS_UICC_LOW_LEVEL_ACCESS_TERMINAL_CAPABILITY
** MBIM_CID_MS_UICC_LOW_LEVEL_ACCESS_RESET
* Added support for the Qualcomm-defined QDU service, including the following
operations:
** MBIM_CID_QDU_UPDATE_SESSION
** MBIM_CID_QDU_FILE_OPEN
** MBIM_CID_QDU_FILE_WRITE
* Extended the Microsoft-defined Basic Connect Extensions service, including
the following operations:
** MBIM_CID_MS_BASIC_CONNECT_EXTENSIONS_DEVICE_CAPS
** MBIM_CID_MS_BASIC_CONNECT_EXTENSIONS_SYS_CAPS
** MBIM_CID_MS_BASIC_CONNECT_EXTENSIONS_SLOT_INFO_STATUS
** MBIM_CID_MS_BASIC_CONNECT_EXTENSIONS_DEVICE_SLOT_MAPPINGS
* libmbim-glib:
** Logic updated to make sure full packets are written at once, instead of
writing them in chunks.
** Updated the "LTE attach status" APIs in order to avoid creating unneeded
struct types in the interface. The older methods have been deprecated and
maintained in the library for compatibility purposes only.
* mbim-proxy:
** Internal buffer size updated from 512 bytes to 4096 bytes.
* mbimcli:
** New '--ms-set-sar-config' and '--ms-query-sar-config' actions.
** New '--ms-set-transmission-status' and '--ms-query-transmission-status'
actions.
** Updated '--enter-pin', '--disable-pin' and '--unlock-pin' to allow other
PIN types, not just assuming PIN1.
** New '--link-add', '--link-delete', '--link-list' and '--link-delete-all'
actions.
** New '--ms-query-sys-caps' action.
** New '--ms-query-slot-info-status' action.
** New '--ms-query-device-slot-mappings' and '--ms-set-device-slot-mappings'
actions.
** Renamed '--ms-query-lte-attach-status' to '--ms-query-lte-attach-info',
and kept the old name for compatibility purposes.
* mbim-network:
** When using the mbim-proxy, skip trying to manage the MBIM session and
transaction ids as that is implicitly done by the proxy already.
* Several other minor improvements and fixes.
The following features which were backported to 1.24.x releases are also present
in libmbim 1.26.0:
* Fixed merged subscribe list reporting and handling in the proxy.
* Fixed transaction id handling when multiple fragments are involved.
* Fixed read overflows on malformed messages.
* Skip warnings if descriptors file cannot be read, as in new MBIM backends
other than cdc_mbim.
He prefers to contribute to his own nixpkgs fork triton.
Since he is still marked as maintainer in many packages
this leaves the wrong impression he still maintains those.
