For scripting or similar, man nmcli for commands. For manual control,
the networking panel applet has a button to turn wifi on and off if the
hardware is fitted.
There is a reference manual https://networkmanager.dev/docs/api/latest/
which digs heavily into DBus and may be Too Much Information. There is
a Debian Wiki, which may not have enough, though it does have a link to
a general Debian Wifi HowTo.
I don't think separate documentation for each version exists, it will
be necessary to study the README and changelogs for the Network Manager
components in /usr/share/docs.
