4 counters for each port.

11 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
12 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
13 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
14 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
15 names will be removed after the next release, so please update

18 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
20 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
21 (Use the extensible match extensions instead.)
22 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
23 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
26 ------------------------

30 - Support for extensible match extensions to OpenFlow
32 - Support for HFSC qdisc.

36 close to a stable ABI now.
37 - "Port group" concept has been dropped.
38 - GRE over IPSEC tunnels

59 - New --flow-format option to enable or disable NXM.
60 - New --more option to increase OpenFlow message verbosity.
61 - Removed "tun-cookie" command, which is no longer useful.
62 - ovs-controller enhancements for testing various features.
63 - New ovs-vlan-test command for testing for Linux kernel driver VLAN
64 bugs. New ovs-vlan-bug-workaround command for enabling and
65 disabling a workaround for these driver bugs.
67 - "Resubmit" actions now update flow statistics.
68 - New "register" extension for use in matching and actions, via NXM.

72 - New extension to set the QoS output queue without actually
73 sending to an output port.
74 - Open vSwitch now reports a single flow table, instead of
75 separate hash and wildcard tables. This better models the
76 current implementation.
77 - New experimental "note" action.
78 - New "ofproto/trace" ovs-appctl command and associated utilities
79 to ease debugging complex flow tables.
81 - Schema documentation now includes an entity-relationship diagram.
82 - The database is now garbage collected. In most tables,
83 unreferenced rows will be deleted automatically.
84 - Many tables now include statistics updated periodically by
85 ovs-vswitchd or ovsdb-server.
86 - Every table now has an "external-ids" column for use by OVS
88 - There is no default controller anymore. Each bridge must have its
89 controller individually specified.
90 - The "fail-mode" is now a property of a Bridge instead of a Controller.
91 - New versioning and checksum features.
92 - New Managers table and manager_options column in Open_vSwitch table
