Hmmm... didn't see that in the release notes.  ;)

I have had NM work with both ethernet and wifi, but pptp
vpn fails with a popup like this:

The VPN connection 'work' failed because the VPN service stopped unexpectedly.

I see a similar closed bug report from a year ago against nm openvpn:

But I'm having the problem with pptp.  I see some old Ubuntu reports
that look the same.  But for me, the problem is new with f12.  f11
works fine with the same setup.  So I filed a new bug report:
