 post-v1.7.0
 ------------------------
     - New FAQ.  Please send updates and additions!
+    - Authors of controllers, please read the new section titled "Action
+      Reproduction" in DESIGN, which describes an Open vSwitch change in
+      behavior in corner cases that may affect some controllers.
+    - ovs-l3ping:
+        - A new test utility that can create L3 tunnel between two Open
+          vSwitches and detect connectivity issues.
     - ovs-ofctl:
+        - New --sort and --rsort options for "dump-flows" command.
         - "mod-port" command can now control all OpenFlow config flags.
-    - Added support for arbitrary ethernet masks
+    - OpenFlow:
+      - Allow general bitwise masking for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in
+        IPv4, IPv6, and ARP packets.  (Previously, only CIDR masks
+        were allowed.)
+      - Allow support for arbitrary Ethernet masks.  (Previously, only
+        the multicast bit in the destination address could be individually
+	masked.)
+      - New field OXM_OF_METADATA, to align with OpenFlow 1.1.
+      - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
+        queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
+        ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port.  (Previous
+        versions generally reported an empty set of results.)
+      - New "flow monitor" feature to allow controllers to be notified of
+        flow table changes as they happen.
     - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
       false.  For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.
     - Open vSwitch now sends RARP packets in situations where it previously
       sent a custom protocol, making it consistent with behavior of QEMU and
       VMware.
+    - All Open vSwitch programs and log files now show timestamps in UTC,
+      instead the local timezone, by default.
