3 - The new "-s" option for "ovs-dpctl show" prints packet and byte
4 counters for each port.

7 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
8 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
9 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
10 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
12 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
13 (Use the extensible match extensions instead.)
14 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
15 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
18 ------------------------
19 - Ability to define policies over IPv6
22 - Support for extensible match extensions to OpenFlow
24 - Support for HFSC qdisc.
25 - Queue used by in-band control can now be configured.
27 - Kernel<->userspace interface has been reworked and should be
28 close to a stable ABI now.
29 - "Port group" concept has been dropped.
30 - GRE over IPSEC tunnels
32 - New active backup bonding mode.
33 - New L4 hashing support when LACP is enabled.
34 - Source MAC hash now includes VLAN field also.
36 - Greatly improved handling of large flow tables
38 - "show" command now prints full vport configuration.
39 - "dump-groups" command removed since kernel support for
40 port groups was dropped.
42 - New commands for working with the new Managers table.

52 - New --more option to increase OpenFlow message verbosity.
53 - Removed "tun-cookie" command, which is no longer useful.
54 - ovs-controller enhancements for testing various features.
55 - New ovs-vlan-test command for testing for Linux kernel driver VLAN
56 bugs. New ovs-vlan-bug-workaround command for enabling and
57 disabling a workaround for these driver bugs.
59 - "Resubmit" actions now update flow statistics.
60 - New "register" extension for use in matching and actions, via NXM.
61 - New "multipath" experimental action extension.
62 - New support for matching multicast Ethernet frames, via NXM.
63 - New extension for OpenFlow vendor error codes.
64 - New extension to set the QoS output queue without actually
65 sending to an output port.
66 - Open vSwitch now reports a single flow table, instead of
67 separate hash and wildcard tables. This better models the
68 current implementation.
69 - New experimental "note" action.
70 - New "ofproto/trace" ovs-appctl command and associated utilities
71 to ease debugging complex flow tables.
73 - Schema documentation now includes an entity-relationship diagram.
74 - The database is now garbage collected. In most tables,
75 unreferenced rows will be deleted automatically.
76 - Many tables now include statistics updated periodically by
77 ovs-vswitchd or ovsdb-server.
78 - Every table now has an "external-ids" column for use by OVS
80 - There is no default controller anymore. Each bridge must have its
81 controller individually specified.
82 - The "fail-mode" is now a property of a Bridge instead of a Controller.
83 - New versioning and checksum features.
84 - New Managers table and manager_options column in Open_vSwitch table
85 for specifying managers. The old "managers" column in the
86 Open_vSwitch table has been removed.
87 - Many "name" columns are now immutable.
89 - Dropped support for XenServer pre-5.6.100.
90 - Dropped support for Linux pre-2.6.18.
91 - Dropped controller discovery support.
92 - Dropped "ovs-ofctl status" and the OpenFlow extension that it used.
93 Statistics reporting in the database is a rough equivalent.
94 - Dropped the "corekeeper" package (now separate, at
95 http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=corekeeper).
