   9       - Queue used by in-band control can now be configured.
  10     - Kernel:
  11       - Kernel<->userspace interface has been reworked and should be
  12         close to a stable ABI now.

  20     - Greatly improved handling of large flow tables
  21     - ovs-dpctl:
  22       - "show" command now prints full vport configuration.
  23       - "dump-groups" command removed since kernel support for
  24         port groups was dropped.
  25     - ovs-vsctl:
  26       - New commands for working with the new Managers table.
  27       - "list" command enhanced with new formatting options and --columns
  28         option.

  32       - New "queue-stats" command for printing queue stats.
  33       - New commands "replace-flows" and "diff-flows".
  34       - Commands to add and remove flows can now read from files.
  35       - New --flow-format option to enable or disable NXM.
  36       - New --more option to increase OpenFlow message verbosity.
  37       - Removed "tun-cookie" command, which is no longer useful.
  38     - ovs-controller enhancements for testing various features.
  39     - New ovs-vlan-test command for testing for Linux kernel driver VLAN
  40       bugs.  New ovs-vlan-bug-workaround command for enabling and
  41       disabling a workaround for these driver bugs.
  42     - OpenFlow support:
  43       - "Resubmit" actions now update flow statistics.
  44       - New "register" extension for use in matching and actions, via NXM.
  45       - New "multipath" experimental action extension.
  46       - New support for matching multicast Ethernet frames, via NXM.
  47       - New extension for OpenFlow vendor error codes.
  48       - New extension to set the QoS output queue without actually
  49         sending to an output port.
  50       - Open vSwitch now reports a single flow table, instead of
  51         separate hash and wildcard tables.  This better models the
  52         current implementation.
  53       - New experimental "note" action.
  54       - New "ofproto/trace" ovs-appctl command and associated utilities
  55         to ease debugging complex flow tables.
  56     - Database:
  57       - Schema documentation now includes an entity-relationship diagram.
  58       - The database is now garbage collected.  In most tables,
  59         unreferenced rows will be deleted automatically.
  60       - Many tables now include statistics updated periodically by
  61         ovs-vswitchd or ovsdb-server.
  62       - Every table now has an "external-ids" column for use by OVS
  63         integrators.
  64       - There is no default controller anymore.  Each bridge must have its
  65         controller individually specified.
  66       - The "fail-mode" is now a property of a Bridge instead of a Controller.
  67       - New versioning and checksum features.
  68       - New Managers table and manager_options column in Open_vSwitch table
  69         for specifying managers.  The old "managers" column in the
  70         Open_vSwitch table has been removed.
  71       - Many "name" columns are now immutable.
  72     - Feature removals:
  73       - Dropped support for XenServer pre-5.6.100.
  74       - Dropped support for Linux pre-2.6.18.
  75       - Dropped controller discovery support.
  76       - Dropped "ovs-ofctl status" and the OpenFlow extension that it used.
  77         Statistics reporting in the database is a rough equivalent.
  78       - Dropped the "corekeeper" package (now separate, at
  79         http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=corekeeper).
