netplan 0.34 introduces new features:
- optional: true on an interface to allow it to be "ignored" by networkd-wait-online at boot, and avoid 5 minute delays.
- added 'help' subcommands everywhere.
- added bash completion
- 'netplan ip leases' now allows retrieving the lease file for the "private" DHCP settings contained in a lease for the backend in use. The lease file is displayed in full and allows retrieving settings not normally exposed by the backends.
- implement better routing support: policy-based routing is now supported for the networkd backend, and better control over the "standard" routes to be installed. A new 'on-link: true' option allows for defining a route that is directly attached. |

These stem from various requests we've had concerning the usability of netplan for various projects; for instance:
- 'optional: true' is useful for the ubuntu-server daily image to avoid blocking in networkd while the network interface are coming up (which would block for 5 minutes waiting for timeout if no interface is connected).
- policy routing, on-link: true and general routing improvements are common user requests from people migrating early to bionic.
- help and bash completion are common requested features, and generally greatly improve usability.
This new release also has many long-term maintenance code cleanliness changes and fixes the following bugs:
* Reinstate snap support for dealing with the NetworkManager snap.
(LP: #1747714)
* Don't silently break bridge-priority; fix it instead. (LP: #1752162)
* Disable "ifupdown-migrate"; which is incomplete and thus risks breaking systems. Better iterate over it without showing it as a viable option. |
