The + original qmi_device_command() is flagged as deprecated. + ** New 'QMI_DEVICE_OPEN_FLAGS_AUTO' flag in qmi_device_open() which allows + automatic detection of the underlying protocol in a cdc-wdm device (either + QMI or MBIM) and transparently uses it based on that. + ** New qmi_device_close_async() operation, which allows closing a QmiDevice + asynchronously (especially important when closing devices running QMI over + MBIM, as this operation requires MBIM protocol cleanups). The original + qmi_device_close() is flagged as deprecated. + ** Fixed QmiWmsCdmaCauseCode enum names, and provided a compatibility layer + keeping the old names (flagged as deprecated) to avoid breaking API. + + * New services: + ** pdc: new "PDC" (persistent device configuration) service, which among + other things, allows configuring the HP lt4120. + + * New request/responses: + ** dms: new sierra-specific "SWI Get Current Firmware" request/response. + ** dms: new hp-specific "HP Change Device Mode" request/response. + ** dms: new "Set Firmware ID" request/response. + ** dms: new "Get Boot Image Download Mode" request/response. + ** dms: new "Set Boot Image Download Mode" request/response. + ** wds: new "Create Profile" request/response. + ** wds: new "Modify Profile" request/response. + ** wds: new "Delete Profile" request/response. + ** wds: new "Set Event Report" request/response. + ** wds: new "Go Dormant" request/response. + ** wds: new "Go Active" request/response. + ** wds: new "Get Dormancy Status" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Reset" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Register" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Config Change" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Get Selected Config" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Set Selected Config" request/response. + ** pdc: new "List Configs" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Delete Config" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Load Config" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Activate Config" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Get Config Info" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Get Config Limits" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Get Default Config Info" request/response. + ** pdc: new "Deactivate Config" request/response. + ** uim: new "Power Off SIM" request/response. + ** uim: new "Power On SIM" request/response. + ** nas: new "Get Operator Name" request/response. + ** wds: new "Bind Mux Data Port" request/response. + +* New indications: + ** wds: new "Event report" indication. + ** pdc: new "Get Selected Config" indication. + ** pdc: new "Set Selected Config" indication. + ** pdc: new "List Configs" indication. + ** pdc: new "Load Config" indication. + ** pdc: new "Activate Config" indication. + ** pdc: new "Get Config Info" indication. + ** pdc: new "Deactivate Config" indication. + ** nas: new "Operator Name" indication. + + * New TLVs supported in existing messages: + ** wda: updated "Set Data Format" request to allow specifying endpoint type + and interface number. + + * qmi-firmware-update: + ** This is a completely new tool that allows upgrading firmware in (at least) + Sierra Wireless devices with MDM9200, MDM9x15 or MDM9x30 chipsets. Run the + tool with --help and --help-examples to get more information on how to use + it. + + * qmicli: + ** The CLI no longer requires the '--device-open-mbim' explicit option when + opening QMI capable MBIM devices, the automatic detection of QMI over MBIM + is enabled by default. + ** New '--device-open-qmi' option to disable the automatic detection of + protocol and force using QMI. + ** New '--dms-set-firmware-id' operation. + ** New '--dms-get-software-version' operation. + ** New '--dms-set-boot-image-download-mode' and + '--dms-get-boot-image-download-mode' operations to configure the default + download mode. + ** New '--dms-set-firmware-preference' and '--dms-get-firmware-preference' + operations to manage the current firmware preference. + ** New '--wds-go-dormant', '--wds-go-active' and '--wds-get-dormancy-status' + operations to manage dormancy related operations. + ** New '--nas-get-rf-band-info' operation. + ** New '--uim-sim-power-on' and '--uim-sim-power-off' operations. + ** New '--nas-get-operator-name' operation. + ** New '--wds-bind-mux-data-port' operation. + ** Updated '--wda-set-data-format' to allow specifying endpoint type and + interface number. + ** If running in MBIM mode, enable MBIM logs and traces. + ** By default the QmiDevice will be closed before exiting, e.g. so that the + MBIM session is also closed. + + * docs: + ** Updated the documentation so that each QMI message and each TLV specifies + in which libqmi version it was introduced, using "since:" tags in the QMI + message databases. + ** Added indices for new symbols introduced in the major libqmi releases, as + well as for symbols flagged as deprecated. + + * build: + ** Bump GLib requirement to 2.36. + ** Added GUdev requirement for qmi-firmware-update, that may be explicitly + disabled using the new '--without-udev' configure switch. + ** The new '--disable-firmware-update' configure switch allows completely + disabling the qmi-firmware-update tool build. + ** The new '--disable-mm-runtime-check' configure switch allows disabling + the runtime check for ModemManager done by the qmi-firmware-update tool. + +The following features which were backported to 1.16.x releases are also present +in libqmi 1.18.0: + + * dms: flagged several methods as available since DMS 1.1. + * nas: Fix RX/TX mixup in 'Get LTE Cphy CA Info'. + + * libqmi-glib: + ** Fix segfault in QmiDevice when cancellable already cancelled. + ** Fix releasing transaction on MBIM error. + + * qmicli: + ** Added support for IP type in --wds-start-network. + ** Fix options receiving a list of flags. + ** Fix second ctrl+c handling. + ** Avoid converting to dB invalid SINR values. + + * qmi-proxy: + ** Fix segfault when trying to use already disposed clients. + ** Fix segfault when trying to use already disposed transactions. + ** Plug several memleaks in error conditions. + + * build: + ** Guard invocations of g_type_init(). + ** Fix checking for libmbim. + + Overview of changes in libqmi 1.16.0 ---------------------------------------- -- cgit v1.1
