Wed Oct 26 13:24:27 UTC 2022

Hey hey,

This is a new major release of libqmi, which will be the base for the new 1.32.x stable series (the new "qmi-1-32" branch in git).

Thanks to everyone involved, especially the team at Qualcomm which has started to contribute to the project during this last release cycle.

Overview of changes in libqmi 1.32.0
----------------------------------------

  * There is no longer an upstream-provided source tarball, please use the signed git tag '1.32.0' instead to refer to the sources of this release.

  * The verbose message logging will now by default hide all fields that are considered personal information. Extended message logging including all field contents should be explicitly requested.

  * Build:
    ** The GNU autotools (autoconf/automake/libtool) support has been fully removed, this release requires the use of the meson build system.
    ** The 'instrospection' meson option is now a boolean.
    ** New boolean 'man' meson option to allow disabling the man page generation.

  * New services:
    ** New 'FOX' service for operations defined by Foxconn, including "Get Firmware Version" for now.

  * New request/response/indications:
    ** pdc: implement "Refresh" indication.
    ** gas: implement "DMS Get USB composition" request/response.
    ** gas: implement "DMS Set USB composition" request/response.
    ** wds: implement "Indication Register" request/response.
    ** wds: implement "Extended Ip Config" indication.
    ** dsd: implement "Get System Status" request/response.
    ** dsd: implement "System Status Change" request/response.
    ** dsd: implement "System Status" indication.
    ** voice: implement "Burst DTMF" request/response.
    ** voice: implement "Start Continuous DTMF" request/response.
    ** voice: implement "Stop Continuous DTMF" request/response.
    ** uim: implement "Remote Unlock" request/response.
    ** nas: implement "Config Signal Info v2" request/response.

  * New TLVs supported in existing messages:
    ** pdc: added "Enable Refresh" TLV in "Register" request.
    ** nas: added "5G Signal Strength" TLV in "Signal Info" indication.
    ** dms: added "NR5G Band Capability" TLV in "Get Band Capabilities" response.
    ** nas: added "NR5G SA/NSA band preference" TLVs in "Get/Set System Selection Preference" request/response.
    ** wds: added "Operator Reserved PCO" TLV in "Get Current Settings".
    ** wda: added "Uplink Data Aggregation Max Datagrams" TLV in "Set Data Format" request.
    ** wda: added "Uplink Data Aggregation Max Size" TLV in "Set Data Format" request.

  * libqmi-glib:
    ** New 'QmiFoxFirmwareVersionType' enum type.
    ** New 'QmiPdcRefreshEventType' enum type.
    ** New 'QmiGasUsbCompositionEndpointType' enum type.
    ** New 'QmiDsdDataSystemNetworkType' enum type.
    ** New 'QmiDsdRadioAccessTechnology' enum type.
    ** New 'QmiDsdSoMask' enum type.
    ** New 'QMI_DMS_RADIO_INTERFACE_TDS' value in the 'QmiDmsRadioInterface' enum type.
    ** New 'QMI_WDS_GET_CURRENT_SETTINGS_REQUESTED_SETTINGS_OPERATOR_RESERVED_PCO' value in 'QmiWdsGetCurrentSettingsRequestedSettings'.
    ** New 'QMI_DEVICE_ADD_LINK_FLAGS_INGRESS_MAP_CKSUMV5' and 'QMI_DEVICE_ADD_LINK_FLAGS_INGRESS_MAP_CKSUMV5' values in the 'QmiDeviceAddLinkFlags' enum type, enabling support to request QMAPv5 checksum offload for both TX and RX paths.
    ** Extended the 'QmiNasActiveBand' enum type with 5GNR bands.
    ** Implemented support to monitor the consecutive QMI request timeouts in the QmiDevice object, with a 'QMI_DEVICE_CONSECUTIVE_TIMEOUTS' signal and a 'qmi_device_get_consecutive_timeouts()' method.
    ** Fixed the "GERAN Info" TLV in "NAS Get Cell Location Info" compat layer.
    ** Fixed leak on unexpected message error processing in QmiDevice.
    ** Renamed the 'QmiWdsGetCurrentSettingsRequestedSettings' flags type to 'QmiWdsRequestedSettings'.
    ** Updated the code generator to avoid needing intermediate struct types in several operations, and provided appropriate compat methods:
       *** pdc: removed the 'QmiConfigTypeAndId' intermediate struct.
       *** loc: removed the 'QmiIndicationLoc...GpsTime intermediate' structs.
       *** loc: removed the 'QmiIndicationLoc...DilutionOfPrecision' intermediate structs.
       *** dms: removed the 'QmiMessageDmsGetStoredImageInfoInputImage' intermediate struct.
       *** dms: removed the 'QmiMessageDmsDeleteStoredImageInputImage' intermediate struct.
    ** Updated the code generator to avoid needing arrays of arrays in several operations, and provided appropriate compat methods:
       *** uim: avoid array of arrays in "Slot EID Information".
       *** uim: avoid array of arrays in "Personalization Status Other".
    ** Updated the code generator to generate GIR compat helpers for arrays of structs, so that language bindings can properly use the methods using that kind of types. This change makes the library include a lot of new methods suffixed with _gir() which are only expected to be used via introspection.
    ** Implemented a lot of cleanups and improvements in the code generator.

  * qmicli:
    ** New '--verbose-full' option to request enabling logs that include personal information.
    ** New '--pdc-monitor-refresh' command.
    ** New '--gas-dms-set-usb-composition' and '--gas-dms-get-usb-composition' commands.
    ** New '--wms-set-routes' command.
    ** New '--dsd-get-system-status' command.
    ** Updated the '--wda-set-data-format' command with new optional fields to configure the uplink data aggregation max size and max datagrams.

  * qmi-firmware-update:
    ** Implemented support for normal upgrade operations even when udev is not available in the system (e.g. openwrt).

  * collections:
    ** basic: added UIM remote unlock operation.
    ** basic: added NAS signal info v2 operation.
    ** basic: added SAR management operations.
    ** basic: added LTE attach PDN list operation.
    ** basic: added PCO support related operations.
    ** basic: added Foxconn firmware version management operation.
    ** basic: added DSD system status and attach/detach related operations.
    ** basic: added voice DTMF support operations.

  * Several other minor improvements and fixes.

The following features which were backported to 1.30.x releases are also present in libqmi 1.32.0:

    ** libqmi-glib: use unaligned netlink attribute length.
    ** qmi-proxy: remove assert when attempting to close ghost device.
    ** qmi-firmware-update: use defaults if FLASH variables not reported, enabling support to flash the Sierra Wireless EM91xx modules in USB mode.
    ** voice: implement "Get All Call Info" request/response.
    ** dms: implement "Foxconn Set FCC Authentication v2" request/response.
    ** qmicli: new '--dms-foxconn-set-fcc-authentication-v2' command.
