-post-v1.6.0
+post-v1.8.0
+------------------------
+ - 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.
+
+
+v1.8.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+------------------------
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+
+
+v1.7.0 - xx xxx xxxx
------------------------
- kernel modules are renamed. openvswitch_mod.ko is now
openvswitch.ko and brcompat_mod.ko is now brcompat.ko.
Internetwork Control (0xc0).
- Added the granular link health statistics, 'cfm_health', to an
interface.
+ - OpenFlow:
+ - Added support to mask nd_target for ICMPv6 neighbor discovery flows.
+ - Added support for OpenFlow 1.3 port description (OFPMP_PORT_DESC)
+ multipart messages.
+ - ovs-ofctl:
+ - Added the "dump-ports-desc" command to retrieve port
+ information using the new port description multipart messages.
+ - ovs-test:
+ - Added support for spawning ovs-test server from the client.
+ - Now ovs-test is able to automatically create test bridges and ports.
+ - "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" now prints observed TCP flags in TCP flows.
+ - The "coverage/log" command previously available through ovs-appctl
+ has been replaced by "coverage/show". The new command replies with
+ coverage counter values, instead of logging them.

+v1.6.1 - 25 Jun 2012
+------------------------
+ - Allow OFPP_CONTROLLER as the in_port for packet-out messages.

+v1.6.0 - 24 Feb 2012
------------------------
+ *** Internal only release ***
- bonding
- LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail.
Instead they drop traffic.
- Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
- New Nicira action NXAST_CONTROLLER that offers additional features
over output to OFPP_CONTROLLER.
- - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
- to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
- When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
(queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
- CFM module CCM broadcasts can now be tagged with an 802.1p priority.
-v1.5.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+v1.5.0 - 01 Jun 2012
------------------------
- OpenFlow:
- Added support for querying, modifying, and deleting flows
{=}, {!=}, {<}, {>}, {<=}, and {>=}.
- ovsdb-tool now uses the typical database and schema installation
directories as defaults.
+ - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
+ to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
