+Post-v2.10.0
+---------------------
+ - Linux datapath:
+ * Support for the kernel versions 4.16.x and 4.17.x.
+ - The environment variable OVS_SYSLOG_METHOD, if set, is now used
+ as the default syslog method.

+
+v2.10.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+---------------------
+ - ovs-vswitchd and utilities now support DNS names in OpenFlow and
+ OVSDB remotes.
- ovs-vswitchd:
* New options --l7 and --l7-len to "ofproto/trace" command.
* Previous versions gave OpenFlow tables default names of the form
"table#". These are not helpful names for the purpose of accepting
and displaying table names, so now tables by default have no names.
+ * The "null" interface type, deprecated since 2013, has been removed.
+ * Add minimum network namespace support for Linux.
+ * New command "lacp/show-stats"
- ovs-ofctl:
* ovs-ofctl now accepts and display table names in place of numbers. By
default it always accepts names and in interactive use it displays them;
use --names or --no-names to override. See ovs-ofctl(8) for details.
- ovs-vsctl: New commands "add-bond-iface" and "del-bond-iface".
+ - ovs-dpctl:
+ * New commands "ct-set-limits", "ct-del-limits", and "ct-get-limits".
+ - OpenFlow:
+ * OFPT_ROLE_STATUS is now available in OpenFlow 1.3.
+ * OpenFlow 1.5 extensible statistics (OXS) now implemented.
+ * New OpenFlow 1.0 extensions for group support.
+ * Default selection method for select groups is now dp_hash with improved
+ accuracy.
+ - Linux datapath
+ * Add support for compiling OVS with the latest Linux 4.14 kernel.
+ * Added support for meters.
+ * Add support for conntrack zone limit.
+ - ovn:
+ * Implemented icmp4/icmp6/tcp_reset actions in order to drop the packet
+ and reply with a RST for TCP or ICMPv4/ICMPv6 unreachable message for
+ other IPv4/IPv6-based protocols whenever a reject ACL rule is hit.
+ * ACL match conditions can now match on Port_Groups as well as address
+ sets that are automatically generated by Port_Groups. ACLs can be
+ applied directly to Port_Groups as well.
+ * ovn-nbctl can now run as a daemon (long-lived, background process).
+ See ovn-nbctl(8) for details.
+ - DPDK:
+ * New 'check-dpdk' Makefile target to run a new system testsuite.
+ See Testing topic for the details.
+ * Add LSC interrupt support for DPDK physical devices.
+ * Allow init to fail and record DPDK status/version in OVS database.
+ * Add experimental flow hardware offload support
+ * Support both shared and per port mempools for DPDK devices.
+ - Userspace datapath:
+ * Commands ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-*-show can now work on a single PMD
+ * Detailed PMD performance metrics available with new command
+ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-perf-show
+ * Supervision of PMD performance metrics and logging of suspicious
+ iterations
+ * Add signature match cache (SMC) as experimental feature. When turned on,
+ it improves throughput when traffic has many more flows than EMC size.
+ - ERSPAN:
+ * Implemented ERSPAN protocol (draft-foschiano-erspan-00.txt) for
+ both kernel datapath and userspace datapath.
+ * Added port-based and flow-based ERSPAN tunnel port support, added
+ OpenFlow rules matching ERSPAN fields. See ovs-fields(7).
+ - ovs-pki
+ * ovs-pki now generates x.509 version 3 certificate. The new format adds
+ subjectAltName field and sets its value the same as common name (CN).

action 'nd_ns' to resolve unknown next hop MAC addresses for the
IPv6 packets.
+ * Add support for QoS bandwidth limit with DPDK.
* ovn-ctl: New commands run_nb_ovsdb and run_sb_ovsdb.
