NetworkManager, the popular tool for managing network connections on Linux systems, has just released version 1.50 with several new features and improvements. One notable addition in this release is support for veth configurations in the Terminal User Interface (TUI).
Veth, short for Virtual Ethernet, is a virtual network interface that allows packets to be sent between two different network namespaces on the same host. This feature is commonly used in containerized environments where different containers need to communicate with each other or with the host system.
With the support for veth configurations in the TUI, users can now easily set up and manage virtual network interfaces using NetworkManager’s command-line interface. This makes it more convenient for users who prefer to work in a terminal environment and need to configure complex network setups.
In addition to veth support, NetworkManager 1.50 also includes several other new features and improvements. The release notes mention improvements to the handling of DNS settings, better support for IPv6 configuration, and updates to the systemd-resolved integration.
Furthermore, the new version also includes bug fixes and performance improvements to make network management more stable and efficient.
NetworkManager is widely used in Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS, and is the default network management tool for many users. With the release of version 1.50, users can expect a more robust and feature-rich network management experience.
Overall, the release of NetworkManager 1.50 with support for veth configurations in the TUI is a welcome addition for users who rely on NetworkManager for managing their network connections. Whether you are a system administrator, a developer working in a containerized environment, or a casual user looking for a reliable network management tool, NetworkManager continues to impress with its latest release.
