Release nmrs 2.0.0 - 'Sleep is the Cousin of Death'

nmrs 2.0.0

Welcome to the 'Sleep is the Cousin of Death' release.

This marks a point of the project that's considerably more stable than 1.0.0, due to my mishaps around the extensibility of the public API's structs/enums.

Some things worth noting explicitly include the ability to develop nmrs on macOS or Windows via the Docker image provided, and extensive refactors made to make the code a bit more digestible and more importantly, maintainable in the future. And of course, Bluetooth support which is really nothing but a kick-starter to introduce more devices without breaking the API (thanks to those refactors).

Now, more than ever, I am happy to accept contributions to this project as my personal life is going to take priority for the following year as I get married and begin looking for a job before I graduate in the Fall.

I'll of course chip away at this whenever I get the time as it is my personal labor of love, but I can't promise that development from me be as continuous as it has been in the last few months.

Release nmrs-v1.0.0 - 'The time will pass anyway'

Release 1.0.0-stable

Welcome to the 'the time will pass anyway' release (nmrs is stable!).

This release marks the library API as stable. Breaking changes will only occur in major version updates (2.0.0+). All public APIs are documented and tested.

Release v0.4.0-beta - 'Rip it'

Release 0.4.0-beta

Welcome to the 'Rip it' release.

Should be noted that I am now re-positioning nmrs to mainly be a library for Rust bindings of NetworkManager. GUI comes second.

Breaking Changes

• nmrs: Expanded ConnectionError enum with new variants (AuthFailed, SupplicantConfigFailed, SupplicantTimeout, DhcpFailed, Timeout, Stuck, NoWifiDevice, WifiNotReady, NoSavedConnection, Failed(StateReason)) - exhaustive matches will need a wildcard (#82)
• nmrs: Return types changed from zbus::Result<T> to Result<T, ConnectionError> for structured error handling
• nmrs: Renamed crate from nmrs-core to nmrs
• nmrs-gui: Renamed crate from nmrs-ui to nmrs-gui

Added

• Core: StateReason enum and reason_to_error() for mapping NetworkManager failure codes to typed errors (#82, #85)
• Core: Comprehensive documentation across all modules (#82)
• Core: Logging support via log crate facade (#87)
• UI: Pre-defined themes (Catppuccin, Dracula, Gruvbox, Nord, Tokyo) (#106)
• CLI: --version flag with build hash extraction (#108)

Changed

• Core: Decomposed connect() into smaller helper functions (#81)
• Core: Extracted disconnect + wait logic to unified helper (#79)
• Core: Unified state polling logic (#80)
• Core: Eliminated network lookup duplication via shared helper function (#83)
• Core: Replaced eprintln! with structured logging (debug!, info!, warn!, error!) (#87)

Fixed

• Core: Auth error mapping now properly distinguishes supplicant failures, DHCP errors, and timeouts (#82, #85, #116)
• Core: bitrate property now fetches real connection speeds (#110)
• UI: Re-aligned refresh button (#111)
• UI: Show connection status when connecting with saved credentials (#61)
