  17       - Queue used by in-band control can now be configured.
  18     - Kernel:
  19       - Kernel<->userspace interface has been reworked and should be
  20         close to a stable ABI now.
  21       - "Port group" concept has been dropped.
  22     - GRE over IPSEC tunnels
  23     - Bonding:

  26       - Source MAC hash now includes VLAN field also.
  27       - miimon support.
  28     - Greatly improved handling of large flow tables
  29     - ovs-dpctl:
  30       - "show" command now prints full vport configuration.
  31       - "dump-groups" command removed since kernel support for
  32         port groups was dropped.
  33     - ovs-vsctl:
  34       - New commands for working with the new Managers table.
  35       - "list" command enhanced with new formatting options and --columns
  36         option.

  43       - New --flow-format option to enable or disable NXM.
  44       - New --more option to increase OpenFlow message verbosity.
  45       - Removed "tun-cookie" command, which is no longer useful.
  46     - ovs-controller enhancements for testing various features.
  47     - New ovs-vlan-test command for testing for Linux kernel driver VLAN
  48       bugs.  New ovs-vlan-bug-workaround command for enabling and
  49       disabling a workaround for these driver bugs.
  50     - OpenFlow support:
  51       - "Resubmit" actions now update flow statistics.
  52       - New "register" extension for use in matching and actions, via NXM.

  55       - New extension for OpenFlow vendor error codes.
  56       - New extension to set the QoS output queue without actually
  57         sending to an output port.
  58       - Open vSwitch now reports a single flow table, instead of
  59         separate hash and wildcard tables.  This better models the
  60         current implementation.
  61       - New experimental "note" action.
  62       - New "ofproto/trace" ovs-appctl command and associated utilities
  63         to ease debugging complex flow tables.
  64     - Database:
  65       - Schema documentation now includes an entity-relationship diagram.
  66       - The database is now garbage collected.  In most tables,
  67         unreferenced rows will be deleted automatically.
  68       - Many tables now include statistics updated periodically by
  69         ovs-vswitchd or ovsdb-server.
  70       - Every table now has an "external-ids" column for use by OVS
  71         integrators.
  72       - There is no default controller anymore.  Each bridge must have its
  73         controller individually specified.
  74       - The "fail-mode" is now a property of a Bridge instead of a Controller.
  75       - New versioning and checksum features.
  76       - New Managers table and manager_options column in Open_vSwitch table
  77         for specifying managers.  The old "managers" column in the
  78         Open_vSwitch table has been removed.
  79       - Many "name" columns are now immutable.
  80     - Feature removals:
  81       - Dropped support for XenServer pre-5.6.100.
  82       - Dropped support for Linux pre-2.6.18.
  83       - Dropped controller discovery support.
  84       - Dropped "ovs-ofctl status" and the OpenFlow extension that it used.
  85         Statistics reporting in the database is a rough equivalent.
  86       - Dropped the "corekeeper" package (now separate, at
  87         http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=corekeeper).
