1 | Post-v1.2.0 |
2 | ------------------------ | |
f694937d EJ |
3 | - OpenFlow: |
4 | - Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept | |
5 | NXM fields. | |
d5e1e5ed JP |
6 | - ovs-appctl: |
7 | - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon | |
29901626 BP |
8 | - ovs-vswitchd: |
9 | - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead | |
10 | of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the | |
11 | new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional | |
12 | tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the | |
13 | switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127. | |

1a142ced JP |
17 | - New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware |
18 | switching ASICs. | |
19 | - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0. | |
20 | - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0. | |
21 | - OpenFlow: | |
22 | - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions. | |
23 | - Database: | |
24 | - Implement table unique constraints. | |
25 | - Support cooperative locking between callers. | |
26 | - ovs-dpctl: | |
27 | - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte | |
28 | counters for each port. | |
c4ea79bf BP |
29 | - ovs-ofctl: |
30 | - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows". | |
9b1735a7 BP |
31 | - ovs-vsctl: |
32 | - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration. | |
1a142ced | 33 | - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions. |
2b01925c | 34 | - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs. |
045b2e5c BP |
35 | - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the |
36 | tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please | |
37 | use ovs-vswitchd instead. | |
1a142ced JP |
38 | - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance. |
39 | - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility | |
40 | "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously, | |
41 | "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at | |
42 | level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged | |
43 | at "emer" level. | |
8a2d6596 BP |
44 | - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and |
45 | --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old | |
46 | names will be removed after the next release, so please update | |
47 | your scripts. | |
22bcc0e7 JG |
48 | - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and |
49 | datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories. | |
b78f6b77 BP |
50 | - Feature removals: |
51 | - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension. | |
1a142ced | 52 | Please use the extensible match extensions instead. |
93b8df38 EJ |
53 | - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort |
54 | to simplify 802.1ag configuration. | |
1a142ced JP |
55 | - Performance and scalability improvements |
56 | - Bug fixes | |

109 | current implementation. | |
110 | - New experimental "note" action. | |
111 | - New "ofproto/trace" ovs-appctl command and associated utilities | |
112 | to ease debugging complex flow tables. | |
