 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 IPv6 flow label.
+      - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
+        fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
+    - 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).
+      - Commands and actions that accept port numbers no longer accept port 0,
+        which is not a valid port number in OpenFlow 1.0 and later.
+    - 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.)
+    - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns.  This
+      was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
+    - 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).
