Yes, that changed.

and

was

I understand that this change breaks your scripts and it's a major
annoyance. For what it's worth, non breaking compatibility is very
important to us -- usually.

In this case we changed it because this syntax makes more sense and you
only find the old syntax in Fedora20. There was never a stable release
with the old behavior and to my knowledge no other distribution got it.


sed 's/nmcli connection show configured/nmcli connection show/g'
sed 's/nmcli connection show active/nmcli connection show --active/g'
