18 - The flow eviction threshold has been moved to the Open_vSwitch table.
19 - Database names are now mandatory when specifying ovsdb-server options

37 - Support for megaflows, which allows wildcarding in the kernel (and
38 any dpif implementation that supports wildcards). Depending on
39 the flow table and switch configuration, flow set up rates are
40 close to the Linux bridge.
41 - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
42 Open vSwitch features.
43 - Stable bond mode has been removed.
44 - The autopath action has been removed.
45 - New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
46 protocol (RFC 6830). An external control plane or manual flow
47 setup is required for EID-to-RLOC mapping.
49 * The "dec_mpls_ttl" and "set_mpls_ttl" actions from OpenFlow
50 1.1 and later are now implemented.
51 * New "stack" extension for use in actions, to push and pop from
53 * The "load" and "set_field" actions can now modify the "in_port". (This
54 allows one to enable output to a flow's input port by setting the
55 in_port to some unused value, such as OFPP_NONE.)
57 * New debugging commands "add-flow", "mod-flow", "del-flow".
58 - In dpif-based bridges, cache action translations, which can improve
59 flow set up performance by 80% with a complicated flow table.
60 - New syslog format, prefixed with "ovs|", to be easier to filter.
61 - RHEL: Removes the default firewall rule that allowed GRE traffic to
62 pass through. Any users that relied on this automatic firewall hole
63 will have to manually configure it. The ovs-ctl(8) manpage documents
64 the "enable-protocol" command that can be used as an alternative.

75 or adapt to native Open vSwitch support (e.g. use ovs-vsctl instead
77 - The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.
78 - With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
79 separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
80 possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
81 prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.
82 - Many "ovs-vsctl" database commands now accept an --if-exists option.
83 Please refer to the ovs-vsctl manpage for details.
85 - Experimental support for newer versions of OpenFlow. See
86 the "What versions of OpenFlow does Open vSwitch support?"
87 question in the FAQ for more details.
88 - The OpenFlow "dp_desc" may now be configured by setting the
89 value of other-config:dp-desc in the Bridge table.
90 - It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
91 "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.
93 - New support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol (see the IETF draft here:
94 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-03).
95 - Tunneling requires the version of the kernel module paired with
96 Open vSwitch 1.9.0 or later.
97 - Inheritance of the Don't Fragment bit in IP tunnels (df_inherit)
98 is no longer supported.
99 - Path MTU discovery is no longer supported.
101 - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
102 if only one datapath exists.
104 - New "vlog/disable-rate-limit" and "vlog/enable-rate-limit"
105 commands available allow control over logging rate limits.
106 - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
107 that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
108 - The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
109 numbers. An ofproto implementation should assign them when
110 port_construct() is called.
111 - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
112 datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system". The ovs-dpctl
113 commands will now return information on that shared datapath. To
114 get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
115 "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
116 - Backward-incompatible changes:
117 - Earlier Open vSwitch versions treated ANY as a wildcard in flow
118 syntax. OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
119 conflict. ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
120 retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
121 - Patch ports no longer require kernel support, so they now work
122 with FreeBSD and the kernel module built into Linux 3.3 and later.

132 - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
133 - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
134 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
135 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
136 - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
137 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
138 The default log patterns now include this information.
140 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
141 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
142 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
144 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
145 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
146 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
147 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
148 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
149 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
150 - Tunnel header caching removed.
152 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
153 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
154 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
155 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
156 for these ports for different purposes).
158 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
159 the "add-if" command.
160 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
161 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
162 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
163 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
164 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
165 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
166 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
167 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
168 - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
169 earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with

204 - New field OXM_OF_METADATA, to align with OpenFlow 1.1.
205 - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
206 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
207 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous
208 versions generally reported an empty set of results.)

210 flow table changes as they happen.
211 - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
212 false. For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.

264 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
265 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
266 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval

274 controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
275 receive asynchronously.
276 - New "fin_timeout" action.
277 - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
278 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
279 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
280 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
281 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
282 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
283 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
284 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
285 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
286 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
287 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
288 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
289 for more information.

291 false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
292 asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.

514 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
515 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
516 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
517 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
518 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
519 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
520 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
521 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
523 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
524 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
525 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
527 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
528 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
530 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
531 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
532 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
533 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
534 - Performance and scalability improvements
