+    - 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.
+    - Datapath:
+      - Support for ipv6 set action.
+      - SKB mark matching and setting.
     - 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.
-    - ovs-dpctl
+      - 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.
+    - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
+      datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system".  The ovs-dpctl
+      commands will now return information on that shared datapath.  To
+      get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
+      "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
+    - Tunnel header caching removed.
+    - 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.
+        - CAPWAP tunnel support.
+    - The data in the RARP packets can now be matched in the same way as the
+      data in ARP packets.
