-Post-v1.2.0
-------------------------
- - ovs-appctl:
- - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon
-
-v1.2.0 - 03 Aug 2011
-------------------------
- - New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware
- switching ASICs.
- - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
- - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
- - OpenFlow:
- - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
- - Database:
- - Implement table unique constraints.
- - Support cooperative locking between callers.
- - ovs-dpctl:
- - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
- counters for each port.
- - ovs-ofctl:
- - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
- - ovs-vsctl:
- - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
- - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
- - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
- - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
- tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
- use ovs-vswitchd instead.
- - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
- - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
- "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
- "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
- level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
- at "emer" level.
- - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
- --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
- names will be removed after the next release, so please update
- your scripts.
- - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
- datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
- - Feature removals:
- - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
- Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
- - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
- to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
- - Performance and scalability improvements
- - Bug fixes
-

- - ovs-vsctl:
- - New commands for working with the new Managers table.
- - "list" command enhanced with new formatting options and --columns

- - New extension for OpenFlow vendor error codes.
- - New extension to set the QoS output queue without actually
- sending to an output port.
- - Open vSwitch now reports a single flow table, instead of
- separate hash and wildcard tables. This better models the
- current implementation.
- - New experimental "note" action.
- - New "ofproto/trace" ovs-appctl command and associated utilities
- to ease debugging complex flow tables.
- - Database:
- - Schema documentation now includes an entity-relationship diagram.
- - The database is now garbage collected. In most tables,
- unreferenced rows will be deleted automatically.
- - Many tables now include statistics updated periodically by
- ovs-vswitchd or ovsdb-server.
- - Every table now has an "external-ids" column for use by OVS
- integrators.
- - There is no default controller anymore. Each bridge must have its
- controller individually specified.
- - The "fail-mode" is now a property of a Bridge instead of a Controller.
- - New versioning and checksum features.
- - New Managers table and manager_options column in Open_vSwitch table
- for specifying managers. The old "managers" column in the
