+
+v2.15.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+---------------------
+ - OVSDB:
+ * Changed format in which ovsdb transactions are stored in database files.
+ Now each transaction contains diff of data instead of the whole new
+ value of a column.
+ New ovsdb-server process will be able to read old database format, but
+ old processes will *fail* to read database created by the new one.
+ For cluster and active-backup service models follow upgrade instructions
+ in 'Upgrading from version 2.14 and earlier to 2.15 and later' section
+ of ovsdb(7).
+ * New unixctl command 'ovsdb-server/get-db-storage-status' to show the
+ status of the storage that's backing a database.
+ * New unixctl command 'ovsdb-server/memory-trim-on-compaction on|off'.
+ If turned on, ovsdb-server will try to reclaim all the unused memory
+ after every DB compaction back to OS. Disabled by default.
+ * Maximum backlog on RAFT connections limited to 500 messages or 4GB.
+ Once threshold reached, connection is dropped (and re-established).
+ Use the 'cluster/set-backlog-threshold' command to change limits.
+ - DPDK:
+ * Removed support for vhost-user dequeue zero-copy.
+ * Add support for DPDK 20.11.
+ - Userspace datapath:
+ * Add the 'pmd' option to "ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-flows", which
+ restricts a flow dump to a single PMD thread if set.
+ * New 'options:dpdk-vf-mac' field for DPDK interface of VF ports,
+ that allows configuring the MAC address of a VF representor.
+ * Add generic IP protocol support to conntrack. With this change, all
+ none UDP, TCP, and ICMP traffic will be treated as general L3
+ traffic, i.e. using 3 tupples.
+ * Add parameters 'pmd-auto-lb-load-threshold' and
+ 'pmd-auto-lb-improvement-threshold' to configure PMD auto load balance
+ behaviour.
+ - The environment variable OVS_UNBOUND_CONF, if set, is now used
+ as the DNS resolver's (unbound) configuration file.
+ - Linux datapath:
+ * Support for kernel versions up to 5.8.x.
+ - Terminology:
+ * The terms "master" and "slave" have been replaced by "primary" and
+ "secondary", respectively, for OpenFlow connection roles.
+ * The term "slave" has been replaced by "member", for bonds, LACP, and
+ OpenFlow bundle actions.
+ - Support for GitHub Actions based continuous integration builds has been
+ added.
+ - Bareudp Tunnel
+ * Bareudp device support is present in linux kernel from version 5.7
+ * Kernel bareudp device is not backported to ovs tree.
+ * Userspace datapath support is not added
+ - ovs-dpctl and 'ovs-appctl dpctl/':
+ * New commands '{add,mod,del}-flows' where added, which allow adding,
+ deleting, or modifying flows based on information read from a file.
+ - IPsec:
+ * Add option '--no-cleanup' to allow ovs-monitor-ipsec to stop without
+ tearing down IPsec tunnels.
+ * Add option '--no-restart-ike-daemon' to allow ovs-monitor-ipsec to start
+ without restarting ipsec daemon.
+ - Building the Linux kernel module from the OVS source tree is deprecated
+ * Support for the Linux kernel is capped at version 5.8
+ * Only bug fixes for the Linux OOT kernel module will be accepted.
+ * The Linux kernel module will be fully removed from the OVS source tree
+ in OVS branch 2.18
+
+
+v2.14.0 - 17 Aug 2020
+---------------------
+ - ovs-vswitchd no longer deletes datapath flows on exit by default.
+ - OpenFlow:
+ * The OpenFlow ofp_desc/serial_num may now be configured by setting the
+ value of other-config:dp-sn in the Bridge table.
+ * Added support to watch CONTROLLER port status in fast failover group.
+ * New action "delete_field".
+ - DPDK:
+ * Deprecated DPDK pdump packet capture support removed.
+ * Deprecated DPDK ring ports (dpdkr) are no longer supported.
+ * Add hardware offload support for VLAN Push/Pop actions (experimental).
+ * Add hardware offload support for matching IPv6 protocol (experimental).
+ * Add hardware offload support for set of IPv6 src/dst/ttl
+ and tunnel push-output actions (experimental).
+ * OVS validated with DPDK 19.11.2, due to the inclusion of fixes for
+ CVE-2020-10722, CVE-2020-10723, CVE-2020-10724, CVE-2020-10725 and
+ CVE-2020-10726, this DPDK version is strongly recommended to be used.
+ * New 'ovs-appctl dpdk/log-list' and 'ovs-appctl dpdk/log-set' commands
+ to list and change log levels in DPDK components.
+ * Vhost-user Dequeue zero-copy support is deprecated and will be removed
+ in the next release.
+ - Linux datapath:
+ * Support for kernel versions up to 5.5.x.
+ - AF_XDP:
+ * New netdev class 'afxdp-nonpmd' for netdev-afxdp to save CPU cycles
+ by enabling interrupt mode.
+ - Userspace datapath:
+ * Removed artificial datapath flow limit that was 65536.
+ Now number of datapath flows is fully controlled by revalidators and the
+ 'other_config:flow-limit' knob.
+ * Add support for conntrack zone-based timeout policy.
+ * New configuration knob 'other_config:lb-output-action' for bond ports
+ that enables new datapath action 'lb_output' to avoid recirculation
+ in balance-tcp mode. Disabled by default.
+ * Add runtime CPU ISA detection to allow optimized ISA functions
+ * Add support for dynamically changing DPCLS subtable lookup functions
+ * Add ISA optimized DPCLS lookup function using AVX512

+ * Command "ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-flows" refactored to show subtable
+ miniflow bits for userspace datapath.
- AF_XDP:
* New option 'use-need-wakeup' for netdev-afxdp to control enabling

- RSTP:
* The rstp_statistics column in Port table will only be updated every
- stats-update-interval configured in Open_vSwtich table.
+ stats-update-interval configured in Open_vSwitch table.
- OVSDB:
* When ovsdb-server is running in backup mode, the default value of probe
interval is increased to 60 seconds for the connection to the
replication server. This value is configurable with the unixctl
command - ovsdb-server/set-active-ovsdb-server-probe-interval.
+ * ovsdb-server: New OVSDB extension to allow clients to specify row UUIDs.
- 'ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-flows' can now show offloaded=partial for
partially offloaded flows, dp:dpdk for fully offloaded by dpdk, and
type filter supports new filters: "dpdk" and "partially-offloaded".
+ - Add new argument '--offload-stats' for command
+ 'ovs-appctl bridge/dump-flows',
+ so it can display offloaded packets statistics.

---------------------
* Add support for conntrack zone-based timeout policy.
- 'ovs-dpctl dump-flows' is no longer suitable for dumping offloaded flows.
'ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-flows' should be used instead.

The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated
Network Validation Library (ANVL).

+ - Keep active bond interface selection across OVS restart.
- A simple wrapper script, 'ovs-docker', to integrate OVS with Docker
containers. If and when there is a native integration of Open vSwitch
with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired.
