  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1125422

Overview of changes in libmbim 1.10
----------------------------------------

 * API break: Flag values in 'MbimRegistrationFlag' were updated to match the
   ones in the MBIM documentation.

 * Implemented a new 'mbim-proxy', which allows sharing a single MBIM control
   port among different processes. The usage of the proxy is optional, and can
   be requested by specifying the MBIM_DEVICE_OPEN_FLAGS_PROXY flag in the new
   mbim_device_open_full() method. The 'mbimcli' command line tool was also
   extended with a new '--device-open-proxy,-p' option, to allow requesting the
   use of the proxy process.

 * New 'removed' signal added to the MbimDevice, to notify when the underlying
   connection to the device is lost (e.g. lost connection to the mbim-proxy, or
   lost access to the MBIM control port).

 * Added support for registering and using custom services.

 * Added additional GMM cause codes to MbimNwError.

 * Transactions are now matched not only by ID but also by type.

 * Several other minor improvements and fixes.

QMI modem protocol helper library
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libqmi
- update to 1.11.0 git852b5bf, this is the 1.10.0 release with some additional repairs.
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1125424

Overview of changes in libqmi 1.10.0
----------------------------------------

* Fixed default internal proxy timeout for requests.
* Added initial support for the WDA service.
* Added support for cell location info retrieval.
* Added support for UIM card status retrieval.
* Added support to specify net open flags in the command line.

    to use a specific switching command on Android for all Huawei devices
    (see README of data package for details); this change was suggested
    by Huawei

ChangeLog

20140529:
    ATTENTION: requires usb-modeswitch version >= 2.2.0 due to new para-

    Added devices: Nexperia TM TD-SCDMA, Sunplus SU-3200U, Olivetti
    Olicard 160 and Olicard 500, Ericsson F5521gw, Sony Ericsson EC400,

    PCM100, Titan 3.5G, several nameless ZTE modems, several minor device
    configuration corrections (thanks once again to Lars Melin for the
    tedious device research and compilation!);
    Substantial change in handling of Huawei devices - generic udev rule and
    additional generic configuration files (as fallback for unknown models
    or as OS-specific catch-all); see README for details


Soon in theaters.
