19 * New upstream version
20 - Utilities and daemons that support SSL now allow protocols and
21 ciphers to be configured with --ssl-protocols and --ssl-ciphers.
23 * QoS is now implemented via egress shaping rather than ingress policing.
24 * DSCP marking is now supported, via the new northbound QoS table.
25 * IPAM now supports fixed MAC addresses.
26 * Support for source IP address based routing.
28 - New --ovs option to also print OpenFlow flows.
29 - put_dhcp_opts and put_dhcp_optsv6 actions may now be traced.
30 * Support for managing SSL and remote connection configuration in
31 northbound and southbound databases.
32 * TCP connections to northbound and southbound databases are no
33 longer enabled by default and must be explicitly configured.
34 See documentation for ovn-sbctl/ovn-nbctl "set-connection"
35 command or the ovn-ctl "--db-sb-create-insecure-remote" and
36 "--db-nb-create-insecure-remote" command-line options for
37 information regarding remote connection configuration.
38 * New appctl "inject-pkt" command in ovn-controller that allows
39 packets to be injected into the connected OVS instance.
40 * Distributed logical routers may now be connected directly to
41 logical switches with localnet ports, by specifying a
42 "redirect-chassis" on the distributed gateway port of the
43 logical router. NAT rules may be specified directly on the
44 distributed logical router, and are handled either centrally on
45 the "redirect-chassis", or in many cases are handled locally on
46 the hypervisor where the corresponding logical port resides.
47 Gratuitous ARP for NAT addresses on a distributed logical
48 router is not yet supported, but will be added in a future
50 - Fixed regression in table stats maintenance introduced in OVS
51 2.3.0, wherein the number of OpenFlow table hits and misses was
54 * OFPT_PACKET_OUT messages are now supported in bundles.
55 * A new "selection_method=dp_hash" type for OpenFlow select group
56 bucket selection that uses the datapath computed 5-tuple hash
57 without making datapath flows match the 5-tuple fields, which
58 is useful for more efficient load balancing, for example. This
59 uses the Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ that allows
60 control over the OpenFlow select groups selection method. See
61 "selection_method" and related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for
63 * The "sample" action now supports "ingress" and "egress" options.
64 * The "ct" action now supports the TFTP ALG where support is available.
65 * New actions "clone" and "ct_clear".
67 * 'bundle' command now supports packet-out messages.
68 * New syntax for 'ovs-ofctl packet-out' command, which uses the
69 same string parser as the 'bundle' command. The old 'packet-out'
70 syntax is deprecated and will be removed in a later OVS
72 * New unixctl "ofctl/packet-out" command, which can be used to
73 instruct a flow monitor to issue OpenFlow packet-out messages.
75 * Remote connections can now be made read-only (see ovsdb-server(1)).
77 * TLV mappings for protocols such as Geneve are now segregated on
78 a per-OpenFlow bridge basis rather than globally. (The interface
80 * Removed support for IPsec tunnels.
82 * New option 'n_rxq_desc' and 'n_txq_desc' fields for DPDK interfaces
83 which set the number of rx and tx descriptors to use for the given port.
84 * Support for DPDK v16.11.
85 * Support for rx checksum offload. Refer DPDK HOWTO for details.
86 * Port Hotplug is now supported.
87 * DPDK physical ports can now have arbitrary names. The PCI address of
88 the device must be set using the 'dpdk-devargs' option. Compatibility
89 with the old dpdk<portid> naming scheme is broken, and as such a
90 device will not be available for use until a valid dpdk-devargs is
92 * Virtual DPDK Poll Mode Driver (vdev PMD) support.
93 * Removed experimental tag.
95 * A package upgrade does not automatically restart OVS service.
96 - ovs-vswitchd/ovs-vsctl:
97 * Ports now have a "protected" flag. Protected ports can not forward
98 frames to other protected ports. Unprotected ports can receive and
99 forward frames to protected and other unprotected ports.
100 - ovs-vsctl, ovn-nbctl, ovn-sbctl, vtep-ctl:
101 * Database commands now accept integer ranges, e.g. "set port
102 eth0 trunks=1-10" to enable trunking VLANs 1 to 10.

109 - First supported release of OVN. See ovn-architecture(7) for more
112 * New "monitor_cond" "monitor_cond_update" and "update2" extensions to
115 * OpenFlow 1.3+ bundles are now supported for group mods as well as
116 flow mods and port mods. Both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle
117 flags are supported for group mods as well as flow mods.
118 * OpenFlow 1.1+ OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REQUEST now supports OFPP_ANY.
119 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_QUEUE_DESC is now supported.
120 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPT_TABLE_STATUS is now supported.
121 * New property-based packet-in message format NXT_PACKET_IN2 with support
122 for arbitrary user-provided data and for serializing flow table
123 traversal into a continuation for later resumption.
124 * New extension message NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG2 to allow OpenFlow 1.4-like
125 control over asynchronous messages in earlier versions of OpenFlow.
126 * OpenFlow 1.3 Extension 230, adding OpenFlow Bundles support, is
127 now implemented. Only flow mod and port mod messages are supported
129 * New OpenFlow extension NXM_NX_MPLS_TTL to provide access to MPLS TTL.
130 * New output option, output(port=N,max_len=M), to allow truncating a
131 packet to size M bytes when outputting to port N.
132 * New command OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD for OFPT_GROUP_MOD message that adds a
133 new group or modifies an existing groups
134 * The optional OpenFlow packet buffering feature is deprecated in
135 this release, and will be removed in the next OVS release
136 (2.7). After the change OVS always sends the 'buffer_id' as
137 0xffffffff in packet-in messages and will send an error
138 response if any other value of this field is included in
139 packet-out and flow mod sent by a controller. Controllers are
140 already expected to work properly in cases where the switch can
141 not buffer packets, so this change should not affect existing
143 * New OpenFlow extension NXT_CT_FLUSH_ZONE to flush conntrack zones.
144 - Improved OpenFlow version compatibility for actions:
145 * New OpenFlow extension to support the "group" action in OpenFlow 1.0.

151 * '--bundle' option can now be used with OpenFlow 1.3 and with group mods.
152 * New "bundle" command allows executing a mixture of flow and group mods
153 as a single atomic transaction.
154 * New option "--color" to produce colorized output for some commands.
155 * New option '--may-create' to use OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD in mod-group command.
157 * New "sampling_port" option for "sample" action to allow sampling
158 ingress and egress tunnel metadata with IPFIX.
159 * New ovs-ofctl commands "dump-ipfix-bridge" and "dump-ipfix-flow" to
160 dump bridge IPFIX statistics and flow based IPFIX statistics.
161 * New setting other-config:virtual_obs_id to add an arbitrary string
164 * New QoS type "linux-noop" that prevents Open vSwitch from trying to
165 manage QoS for a given port (useful when other software manages QoS).
167 * New option "n_rxq" for PMD interfaces.
168 Old 'other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs' is no longer supported.
169 Not supported by vHost interfaces. For them number of rx and tx queues
170 is applied from connected virtio device.
171 * New 'other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity' field for PMD interfaces, that
172 allows to pin port's rx queues to desired cores.
173 * New appctl command 'dpif-netdev/pmd-rxq-show' to check the port/rxq
175 * Type of log messages from PMD threads changed from INFO to DBG.
176 * QoS functionality with sample egress-policer implementation.
177 * The mechanism for configuring DPDK has changed to use database
178 * Sensible defaults have been introduced for many of the required
179 configuration options

191 * Jumbo frame support
192 * Remove dpdkvhostcuse port type.
193 * OVS client mode for vHost and vHost reconnect (Requires QEMU 2.7)
194 - Increase number of registers to 16.
195 - ovs-benchmark: This utility has been removed due to lack of use and
198 * New "vlog/close" command.
200 * Added the ability to selectively start the forwarding and database
201 functions (ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server, respectively).
203 * Remove max number of sessions limit, to enable connection scaling
206 * Added support for Python 3.4+ in addition to existing support
209 * Introduced SELinux policy package.
210 - Datapath Linux kernel compatibility.
211 * Dropped support for kernel older than 3.10.
212 * Removed VLAN splinters feature.
213 * Support for truncate action.
214 * Datapath supports kernel upto 4.6.
216 * Flow based tunnel match and action can be used for IPv6 address using
217 tun_ipv6_src, tun_ipv6_dst fields.

220 - A wrapper script, 'ovs-tcpdump', to easily port-mirror an OVS port and
222 - Introduce --no-self-confinement flag that allows daemons to work with
223 sockets outside their run directory.
224 - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from SHA-1 to SHA-512 because
225 SHA-1 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to
226 disable it in OpenSSL.
227 - Add 'mtu_request' column to the Interface table. It can be used to

234 * New upstream version
235 - Dropped support for Python older than version 2.7. As a consequence,
236 using Open vSwitch 2.5 or later on XenServer 6.5 or earlier (which
237 have Python 2.4) requires first installing Python 2.7.

251 * Geneve tunnels can now match and set options and the OAM bit.
252 * The nonstandard GRE64 tunnel extension has been dropped.
253 - Support Multicast Listener Discovery (MLDv1 and MLDv2).
254 - Add 'symmetric_l3l4' and 'symmetric_l3l4+udp' hash functions.
255 - sFlow agent now reports tunnel and MPLS structures.
256 - New 'check-system-userspace', 'check-kmod' and 'check-kernel' Makefile
257 targets to run a new system testsuite. These tests can be run inside
258 a Vagrant box. See INSTALL.md for details
259 - Mark --syslog-target argument as deprecated. It will be removed in
260 the next OVS release.
261 - Added --user option to all daemons
262 - Add support for connection tracking through the new "ct" action
263 and "ct_state"/"ct_zone"/"ct_mark"/"ct_label" match fields. Only
264 available on Linux kernels with the connection tracking module loaded.
265 - Add experimental version of OVN. OVN, the Open Virtual Network, is a
266 system to support virtual network abstraction. OVN complements the
267 existing capabilities of OVS to add native support for virtual network
268 abstractions, such as virtual L2 and L3 overlays and security groups.

274 * New upstream version
275 - Flow table modifications are now atomic, meaning that each packet
276 now sees a coherent version of the OpenFlow pipeline. For
277 example, if a controller removes all flows with a single OpenFlow
278 "flow_mod", no packet sees an intermediate version of the OpenFlow
279 pipeline where only some of the flows have been deleted.
280 - Added support for SFQ, FQ_CoDel and CoDel qdiscs.
281 - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-vsctl Please check
282 utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
283 - The MAC learning feature now includes per-port fairness to mitigate
284 MAC flooding attacks.
285 - New support for a "conjunctive match" OpenFlow extension, which
286 allows constructing OpenFlow matches of the form "field1 in
287 {a,b,c...} AND field2 in {d,e,f...}" and generalizations. For details,
288 see documentation for the "conjunction" action in ovs-ofctl(8).
289 - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-appctl/ovs-dpctl/
290 ovs-ofctl/ovsdb-tool commands. Please check
291 utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
292 - The "learn" action supports a new flag "delete_learned" that causes
293 the learned flows to be deleted when the flow with the "learn" action
295 - Basic support for the Geneve tunneling protocol. It is not yet
296 possible to generate or match options. This is planned for a future
297 release. The protocol is documented at
298 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00
299 - The OVS database now reports controller rate limiting statistics.
300 - sflow now exports information about LACP-based bonds, port names, and
301 OpenFlow port numbers, as well as datapath performance counters.
302 - ovs-dpctl functionality is now available for datapaths integrated
303 into ovs-vswitchd, via ovs-appctl. Some existing ovs-appctl
304 commands are now redundant and will be removed in a future
305 release. See ovs-vswitchd(8) for details.
307 * OpenFlow 1.4 bundles are now supported for flow mods and port
308 mods. For flow mods, both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle flags
309 are trivially supported, as all bundled messages are executed
310 in the order they were added and all flow table modifications
311 are now atomic to the datapath. Port mods may not appear in
312 atomic bundles, as port status modifications are not atomic.
313 * IPv6 flow label and neighbor discovery fields are now modifiable.
314 * OpenFlow 1.5 extended registers are now supported.
315 * The OpenFlow 1.5 actset_output field is now supported.
316 * OpenFlow 1.5 Copy-Field action is now supported.
317 * OpenFlow 1.5 masked Set-Field action is now supported.
318 * OpenFlow 1.3+ table features requests are now supported (read-only).
319 * Nicira extension "move" actions may now be included in action sets.
320 * "resubmit" actions may now be included in action sets. The resubmit
321 is executed last, and only if the action set has no "output" or "group"
323 * OpenFlow 1.4+ flow "importance" is now maintained in the flow table.
324 * A new Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ allows control over the
325 fields hashed for OpenFlow select groups. See "selection_method" and
326 related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for details.
327 - ovs-ofctl has a new '--bundle' option that makes the flow mod commands
328 ('add-flow', 'add-flows', 'mod-flows', 'del-flows', and 'replace-flows')
329 use an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle to operate the modifications as a single
330 atomic transaction. If any of the flow mods in a transaction fail, none
331 of them are executed. All flow mods in a bundle appear to datapath
332 lookups simultaneously.
333 - ovs-ofctl 'add-flow' and 'add-flows' commands now accept arbitrary flow
334 mods as an input by allowing the flow specification to start with an
335 explicit 'add', 'modify', 'modify_strict', 'delete', or 'delete_strict'
336 keyword. A missing keyword is treated as 'add', so this is fully
337 backwards compatible. With the new '--bundle' option all the flow mods
338 are executed as a single atomic transaction using an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle.
339 - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because
340 MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable
342 - ovsdb-server: New OVSDB protocol extension allows inequality tests on
343 "optional scalar" columns. See ovsdb-server(1) for details.
344 - ovs-vsctl now permits immutable columns in a new row to be modified in
345 the same transaction that creates the row.
346 - test-controller has been renamed ovs-testcontroller at request of users
347 who find it useful for testing basic OpenFlow setups. It is still not
348 a necessary or desirable part of most Open vSwitch deployments.
349 - Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
350 added. Build failures are reported to build@openvswitch.org. See INSTALL.md
351 file for additional details.
352 - Support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D-2004).
353 The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated
354 Network Validation Library (ANVL).
355 - Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface.
356 - Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
357 - A simple wrapper script, 'ovs-docker', to integrate OVS with Docker
358 containers. If and when there is a native integration of Open vSwitch
359 with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired.
360 - Added support for DPDK Tunneling. VXLAN, GRE, and Geneve are supported
361 protocols. This is generic tunneling mechanism for userspace datapath.
362 - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3)
363 - Support for Linux kernels up to 4.0.x
364 - The documentation now use the term 'destination' to mean one of syslog,
365 console or file for vlog logging instead of the previously used term
367 - Support for VXLAN Group Policy extension
368 - Initial support for the IETF Auto-Attach SPBM draft standard. This
369 contains rudimentary support for the LLDP protocol as needed for
371 - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports are now the IANA-assigned
372 numbers. OpenFlow is 6653 and OVSDB is 6640.
373 - Support for DPDK vHost.
374 - Support for outer UDP checksums in Geneve and VXLAN.
375 - The kernel vports with dependencies are no longer part of the overall
376 openvswitch.ko but built and loaded automatically as individual kernel
377 modules (vport-*.ko).
378 - Support for STT tunneling.
379 - Support to configure method (--syslog-method argument) that determines
380 how daemons will talk with syslog.
381 - Support for "ovs-appctl vlog/list-pattern" command that lets to query
382 logging message format for each destination.
383 - GRE64 and ipsec_gre64 tunnel protocol is deprecated and will be removed
384 from OVS v2.5 release.
385 * The openvswitch-testcontroller package is new. It reintroduces the
386 simple OpenFlow controller that was packaged with Open vSwitch prior to
387 version 2.1, at request of users who find it useful for testing basic
388 OpenFlow setups. It is still not a necessary or desirable part of most

436 - Address prefix tracking support for flow tables. New columns
437 "prefixes" in OVS-DB table "Flow_Table" controls which packet
438 header fields are used for address prefix tracking. Prefix
439 tracking allows the classifier to skip rules with longer than
440 necessary prefixes, resulting in better wildcarding for datapath
441 flows. Default configuration is to not use any fields for prefix
442 tracking. However, if any flow tables contain both exact matches
443 and masked matches for IP address fields, OVS performance may be
444 increased by using this feature.
445 * As of now, the fields for which prefix lookup can be enabled
446 are: 'tun_id', 'tun_src', 'tun_dst', 'nw_src', 'nw_dst' (or
447 aliases 'ip_src' and 'ip_dst'), 'ipv6_src', and 'ipv6_dst'.
448 (Using this feature for 'tun_id' would only make sense if the
449 tunnel IDs have prefix structure similar to IP addresses.)
450 * There is a maximum number of fields that can be enabled for any
451 one flow table. Currently this limit is 3.

460 has an adverse performance impact when using OVS userspace 1.10
461 or older (no megaflows support) together with the new OVS kernel
462 module. It is recommended that the kernel and userspace modules
463 both are upgraded at the same time.

466 your installations to specify port numbers instead of using the
469 * The OpenFlow 1.1+ "Write-Actions" instruction is now supported.
470 * OVS limits the OpenFlow port numbers it assigns to port 32767 and
471 below, leaving port numbers above that range free for assignment
473 * ovs-vswitchd now honors changes to the "ofport_request" column
474 in the Interface table by changing the port's OpenFlow port
476 - ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 man page will contain graphviz/dot
477 diagram only if graphviz package was installed at the build time.

540 - Support for megaflows, which allows wildcarding in the kernel (and
541 any dpif implementation that supports wildcards). Depending on
542 the flow table and switch configuration, flow set up rates are
543 close to the Linux bridge.
544 - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
545 Open vSwitch features.
546 - Stable bond mode has been removed.
547 - The autopath action has been removed.
548 - New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
549 protocol (RFC 6830). An external control plane or manual flow
550 setup is required for EID-to-RLOC mapping.
552 * The "dec_mpls_ttl" and "set_mpls_ttl" actions from OpenFlow
553 1.1 and later are now implemented.
554 * New "stack" extension for use in actions, to push and pop from

578 or adapt to native Open vSwitch support (e.g. use ovs-vsctl instead
580 - The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.
581 - With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
582 separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
583 possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
584 prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.
585 - Many "ovs-vsctl" database commands now accept an --if-exists option.
586 Please refer to the ovs-vsctl manpage for details.
588 - Experimental support for newer versions of OpenFlow. See
589 the "What versions of OpenFlow does Open vSwitch support?"
590 question in the FAQ for more details.
591 - The OpenFlow "dp_desc" may now be configured by setting the
592 value of other-config:dp-desc in the Bridge table.
593 - It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
594 "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.
596 - New support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol (see the IETF draft here:
597 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-03).
598 - Tunneling requires the version of the kernel module paired with
599 Open vSwitch 1.9.0 or later.
600 - Inheritance of the Don't Fragment bit in IP tunnels (df_inherit)
601 is no longer supported.
602 - Path MTU discovery is no longer supported.
604 - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
605 if only one datapath exists.
607 - New "vlog/disable-rate-limit" and "vlog/enable-rate-limit"
608 commands available allow control over logging rate limits.
609 - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
610 that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
611 - The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
612 numbers. An ofproto implementation should assign them when
613 port_construct() is called.
614 - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
615 datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system". The ovs-dpctl
616 commands will now return information on that shared datapath. To
617 get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
618 "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
619 - Backward-incompatible changes:
620 - Earlier Open vSwitch versions treated ANY as a wildcard in flow
621 syntax. OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
622 conflict. ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
623 retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
624 - Patch ports no longer require kernel support, so they now work
625 with FreeBSD and the kernel module built into Linux 3.3 and later.

637 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
638 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.

640 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
641 The default log patterns now include this information.
643 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
644 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
645 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
647 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
648 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
649 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
650 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
651 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
652 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
653 - Tunnel header caching removed.
655 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
656 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
657 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
658 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
659 for these ports for different purposes).
661 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
662 the "add-if" command.
663 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
664 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
665 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
666 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
667 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
668 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
669 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
670 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.

708 - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
709 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
710 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous
711 versions generally reported an empty set of results.)

782 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
783 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
784 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
785 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
786 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
787 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
788 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.

980 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
981 fragment handling policy.
982 - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
983 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
984 standards-based implementations.
985 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
986 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
987 a denial of service attack.
988 - Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
989 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
990 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".
991 - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead.

997 [ Open vSwitch team ]
998 * New upstream version
999 - New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware
1001 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
1002 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
1004 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
1006 - Implement table unique constraints.
1007 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
1009 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
1010 counters for each port.
1012 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
1014 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
1015 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
1016 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
1017 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
1018 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
1019 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
1020 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
1021 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
1022 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
1023 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
1024 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
1026 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
1027 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
1028 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
1030 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
1031 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
1033 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
1034 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
1035 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
1036 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
1037 - Performance and scalability improvements
