14 openvswitch (1.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
16 * New upstream version
17 - Compatible with Open vSwitch kernel module included in Linux 3.3.
18 - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers
19 in old Linux versions. (This feature is deprecated. When
20 broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will
21 delete this feature.) See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more
24 - Added ability to match on IPv6 flow label through NXM.
25 - Added ability to match on ECN bits in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
26 - Added ability to match on TTL in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
27 - Added ability to modify ECN bits in IPv4.
28 - Added ability to modify TTL in IPv4.
30 - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors. Traffic will
31 now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their
33 - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors.
35 - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table.
37 - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance
38 and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or
40 - RHEL packaging now supports integration with Red Hat network scripts.
41 - Debian: Depend on python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse instead of
42 python-argparse to avoid pulling in python2.6

47 openvswitch (1.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
49 * New upstream version
51 - Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept
53 - Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning.
54 - Bumped number of NXM registers from four to five.
56 - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon.
57 - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed
58 information about all interfaces with CFM enabled.
59 - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed
60 information about all ports with LACP enabled.
62 - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
63 of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
64 new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
65 tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the
66 switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127.
67 - Add support for 802.1D spanning tree (STP).
68 - Fragment handling extensions:
69 - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4
70 fields are made available for matching in fragments with
72 - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable
73 via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl).
74 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
75 fragment handling policy.
76 - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
77 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
78 standards-based implementations.
79 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
80 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
81 a denial of service attack.
82 - Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
83 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
84 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".
85 - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead.

89 openvswitch (1.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
92 * New upstream version
93 - New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware
95 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
96 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
98 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
100 - Implement table unique constraints.
101 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
103 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
104 counters for each port.
106 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
108 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
109 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
110 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
111 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
112 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
113 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
114 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
115 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
116 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
117 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
118 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
120 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
121 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
122 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
124 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
125 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
127 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
128 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
129 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
130 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
131 - Performance and scalability improvements
