+    - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are symmetric.
+      If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for tunneling to work. Note
+      this only applies to flow-based keys.
     - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
       Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
     - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.

     - OpenFlow:
       - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
         fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
+      - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
+      - It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
+        "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.
+    - ovs-ofctl:
+      - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
+        that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL).  This is
+        also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
+        with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
+        for these ports for different purposes).
     - ovs-dpctl:
       - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
         the "add-if" command.
+      - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
+        if only one datapath exists.
+    - ovs-appctl:
+      - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
+        that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
     - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
       the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
       alarmist insecurity claims.  We do not believe that these claims
       are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
       feature it seems better on balance to remove it.  (The ovs-pki-cgi
       program was not included in distribution packaging.)
+    - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.  This
+      feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
+    - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns.  This
+      was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
+    - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
+    - The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
+      numbers.  An ofproto implementation should assign them when
+      port_construct() is called.
+    - The following features are now deprecated.  They will be removed no
+      earlier than February 2013.  Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
+      concerns.
+        - Stable bond mode.
+        - The autopath action.
+        - Interface type "null".
+        - Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).
+        - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery.
