+v2.10.0 - 18 Aug 2018

- ovs-vswitchd and utilities now support DNS names in OpenFlow and
OVSDB remotes.
- ovs-vswitchd:
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.
- 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
* 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)
- running commands in response to JSON-RPC requests received over a UNIX
- socket. Requests to run commands can be sent using ovs-appctl tool, same
- as for any other OVS/OVN daemon. See ovn-nbctl(8) for details.
+ * ovn-nbctl can now run as a daemon (long-lived, background process).

- DPDK:
* New 'check-dpdk' Makefile target to run a new system testsuite.
See Testing topic for the details.
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
