Hi all,

There are 2 new releases with bug fixes for the 1.46 and 1.48 stable
branches of NetworkManager. Also, there is a new release 1.12.0 of
NetworkManager-openvpn fixing a regression on 2FA authentication
affecting some clients like KDE's nm-plasma.

Tarballs can be downloaded from:
* https://download.gnome.org/sources/NetworkManager/1.46/
* https://download.gnome.org/sources/NetworkManager/1.48/
* https://download.gnome.org/sources/NetworkManager-openvpn/1.12/

Changes in NetworkManager 1.46.2:
* Fix handling of IPv6 hop limit.
* Properly restore in-memory connection profiles during the rollback
  of a checkpoint.
* Fix connection activation failures on Wi-Fi cards not supporting changing
  the MAC address if the distro ships a special MAC by default.
* Properly use of subnets on active IPv6 connections with method=shared.
* Various addresses and routes handling fixed for VPNs.
* Fix OpenVPN dynamic challenge handling (needs updated NetworkManager-openvpn).
* Support matching a OVS system interface by MAC address.
* Some minor bugfixes.

Changes in NetworkManager 1.48.2:
* Support matching a OVS system interface by MAC address.
* Fix port reactivation when the controller is reactivating.
* Save connection timestamps when shutting down, so that the right
  connection autoactivates after restart.
* Fix handling of VPN secrets for 2-factor authentication.

Changes in NetworkManager-openvpn:
* Adapt to the new way of handling the 2FA secret by the
 daemon, needed to fix a bug with certain clients.
 Requires NetworkManager >= 1.46.2.
* Update Slovenian and Hungarian translations.

Kind regards
