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.

Added

• Configurable timeout values for connection and disconnection operations (#185)
• Builder pattern for VpnCredentials and EapOptions (#188)
• Bluetooth device support (#198)
• Input validation before any D-Bus operations (#173)
• CI: adjust workflow to auto-update nix hashes on PRs (#182)
• More helpful methods to network_manager facade (#190)
• Explicitly clean up signal streams to ensure unsubscription (#197)

Fixed

• Better error message for empty passkeys (#198)
• Race condition in signal subscription (#191)

Changed

• Various enums and structs marked non-exhaustive (#198)
• Expose NMWiredProxy and propogate speed through + write in field and display for BT device type (#198)
• refactor: device type registry system for future extensibility summary by @cachebag in #172
