Breaking Changes

• netlink-packet-route:
  • add InfoBridge::VlanInfo (Bridge: add support for specifying IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS and implement Flags #212 bridge: add support for setting IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO #213)
• rtnetlink:
  • add LinkGetRequest::match_name to filter links by name more efficiently, and remove LinkGetRequest::set_name_filter (rtnl/link: change add_name_filter to match_name #208)
• refactor netlink_packet_core::traits::NetlinkSerializable and netlink_packet_core::trait::NetlinkDeserializable such that they are not generic (Refactor base types #195, specifically 94c2632)
• netlink-proto: Add new type parameter for Connection which represents the socket (Refactor base types #195, specifically 944307c)

New Features

• new netlink-packet-wireguard crate for the wireguard netlink protocol (Wireguard packet support #191)
• new rich_nlas feature for netlink-packet-route that enables parsing more message types (netlink-packet-route: re-introduce rich NLAs #199 netlink-packet-route: parse multipath NLA #205)
• rtnetlink:
  • add NeighbourAddRequest::add_bridge helper to create a bridge interface (rtnetlink/neigh: add new_bridge helper to add AF_BRIDGE neighs #203)
  • allow the requests to be built with the NLM_F_REPLACE flag to optimize "create or update" operations (rtnetlink: add replace option to Add*Request #202)
  • add helper to create macvlan links (LinkAddRequest: Allow adding macvlan on a specified link. #194)
• netlink-packet-utils: add parse_ip function

Bug fixes

• fix UB in unsafe code (Refactor base types #195 specifically 7e6cfd7)
• fix netlink_sys::SmolSocket::recv error handling (Refactor base types #195 specifically 1cd3e0f)
• various fixes in the netlink-proto encoder (Various netlink-proto Encoder impl fixes #168)
