(i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback). +* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental. +* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere. +* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery. +(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again). +* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic). +* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it). +* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed. +* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state. +* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing. +* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix #6421 +Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results). +* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions. + +More on this you can find [here.](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424). \ No newline at end of file
