post-v1.8.0
------------------------
+ - 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.
- New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
The default log patterns now include this 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.
+ - ovs-dpctl:
+ - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
+ the "add-if" command.
+ - 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.)
+ - Stable bond mode is deprecated and will be removed no earlier than
+ February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with concerns.
+ - The autopath action is deprecated and will be removed no earlier than
+ February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with concerns.
+ - The null interface type is deprecated and will be removed no earlier
+ than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with concerns.
