The libmm-glib library is LGPLv2+, not GPLv2+.

We define a new 'profile-id' setting in the bearer properties that
users will use to specify which connection profile of the ones
available in the device should be connected.
When the 'profile-id' is given, the associated bearer object will be
bound to the 'profile-id', and the user is able to provide additional
settings to apply on top (e.g. if the profile storage doesn't allow
some of the settings we support, like 'apn-type', or if the setting is
completely unrelated to profiles, like 'multiplex').
After introducing the 'profile-id' as a valid setting in the bearer
properties, we also reimplement the properties object internals to
make use a 3GPP profile for the subset of common settings between both
objects.

This new setting allows the user setting up the connection to specify
the purpose of the connection being brought up.
Until now, we would always assume that connections are exclusively
brought up for connecting to the Internet, also limited by the
inability to connect to multiple different APNs at the same time.
But that may really not be true as there may be additional services
that may be accessed through other APNs, like MMS services or even
private networks for companies that have their own APNs on a given
operator (e.g. not that uncommon with banks and connected cars).
The new APN type setting will not change the way the bearer is
connected, but will allow the connection manager to decide what kind
of networking setup the specific connection needs.
This new setting can be provided by the user itself, or implicitly
read from the device if the device stores this information.

Both the Simple.Connect() and Modem.CreateBearer() are updated to
allow a new 'multiplex' setting in the properties provided by the user
in both of these methods.
The new setting expects a MMBearerMultiplexSupport enum indicating
what kind of multiplex needs the user has:
* none: if multiplex must not be used.
* requested: if multiplex should be used if available.
* required: if multiplex must be used.
The underlying implementations will take care of accepting or
rejecting the setting depending on the system and modem capabilities.

Probably not a big deal, since no one has asked for these in the past
years, but let's add them for completeness with the DBus API.

If processing a key-value pair as a bearer property fails, we need to
know if it failed due to the key being unknown or due to some other
reason (e.g. failure parsing value of a known key).
We'll only try with the Simple.Connect properties if the key is
reported as unknown in the bearer properties.
This will help us better identify errors if e.g. an invalid value is
given to a known key. E.g. "yes" was invalid for allow-roaming here:
daemon.notice netifd: wan (30476): simple connect=apn=internet,ip-type=ipv4,allow-roaming=yes
daemon.notice netifd: wan (30476): Error parsing connect string: 'Invalid properties string, unexpected key 'allow-roaming''

So that the GI scanner ignores them.

Bug #705641.
|
|
We won't allow changing modes or bands through Simple.Connect(). Applications
should instead look at the corresponding SupportedBands or SupportedModes, and
then use SetCurrentBands() or SetCurrentModes() explicitly.
|
|
We now have a single 'CurrentModes' property which contains both values in a
tuple with signature "(uu)".
Also, rename 'SetAllowedModes()' to 'SetCurrentModes()', and update the list of
arguments expected to have a single "(uu)" tuple.
|
|
... and 'SetBands()' to 'SetCurrentBands()'.
We'll keep the 'Current' keyword in those properties which also have
'Supported' values.
|
|
We want to expose in the Modem interface the list of supported IP families, and
the easiest way to do so is to have the IP family as flags, and provide in the
interface a single enum.
Also, a value of 0 for a MMBearerIpFamily specifies that no flags are set, so
just rename it to 'NONE'.
And add a new 'ANY' value which sets all flags to 1.
|

For bearers using STATIC or DHCP IP method, the modem itself is the one
negotiating authentication with the network. The new `allowed-auth' property
allows users to specify which authentication method(s) are allowed to be used.

It's pointless to have libmm-common around, just merge it into libmm-glib and
make ModemManager depend on libmm-glib directly. At the end, the non-common
stuff in libmm-glib is really minimal.
