ChangeLog

   1 post v1.1.0
   2 ------------------------
   3     - The new "-s" option for "ovs-dpctl show" prints packet and byte
   4       counters for each port.
   5     - ovs-vsctl:
   6       - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
   7     - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
   8     - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
   9       tests directory.  Its presence confused too many users.  Please
  10       use ovs-vswitchd instead.
  11     - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
  12       --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source.  The old
  13       names will be removed after the next release, so please update
  14       your scripts.
  15     - Feature removals:
  16       - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
  17         (Use the extensible match extensions instead.)
  18       - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
  19         to simplify 802.1ag configuration.

  29       - Queue used by in-band control can now be configured.
  30     - Kernel:
  31       - Kernel<->userspace interface has been reworked and should be
  32         close to a stable ABI now.
  33       - "Port group" concept has been dropped.
  34     - GRE over IPSEC tunnels
  35     - Bonding:
  36       - New active backup bonding mode.
  37       - New L4 hashing support when LACP is enabled.
  38       - Source MAC hash now includes VLAN field also.
  39       - miimon support.
  40     - Greatly improved handling of large flow tables
  41     - ovs-dpctl:
  42       - "show" command now prints full vport configuration.
  43       - "dump-groups" command removed since kernel support for
  44         port groups was dropped.
  45     - ovs-vsctl:
  46       - New commands for working with the new Managers table.
  47       - "list" command enhanced with new formatting options and --columns
  48         option.

  52       - New "queue-stats" command for printing queue stats.
  53       - New commands "replace-flows" and "diff-flows".
  54       - Commands to add and remove flows can now read from files.
  55       - New --flow-format option to enable or disable NXM.
  56       - New --more option to increase OpenFlow message verbosity.
  57       - Removed "tun-cookie" command, which is no longer useful.
  58     - ovs-controller enhancements for testing various features.
  59     - New ovs-vlan-test command for testing for Linux kernel driver VLAN
  60       bugs.  New ovs-vlan-bug-workaround command for enabling and
  61       disabling a workaround for these driver bugs.
  62     - OpenFlow support:
  63       - "Resubmit" actions now update flow statistics.
  64       - New "register" extension for use in matching and actions, via NXM.

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