4 - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers
5 in old Linux versions. (This feature is deprecated. When
6 broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will
7 delete this feature.) See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more
10 - Added ability to match on IPv6 flow label through NXM.
11 - Added ability to match on ECN bits in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
12 - Added ability to match on TTL in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
13 - Added ability to modify ECN bits in IPv4.
14 - Added ability to modify TTL in IPv4.
16 - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors. Traffic will
17 now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their
19 - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors.
21 - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table.
23 - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance
24 and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or

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

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