openvswitch (1.6.90-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Open vSwitch team ] * New upstream version - Nothing yet! Try NEWS... -- Open vSwitch team Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:12:52 +0900 openvswitch (1.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Open vSwitch team ] * New upstream version - bonding - LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail. Instead they drop traffic. - The default bond_mode changed from SLB to active-backup, to protect unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS). - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval to zero. - OpenFlow: - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports. See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information. - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard timeouts. - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they receive asynchronously. - New "fin_timeout" action. - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action. - 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. - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z. ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before. - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5) for more information. - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior. - ofproto-provider interface: - "struct rule" has a new member "used" that ofproto implementations should maintain by updating with ofproto_rule_update_used(). - ovsdb-client: - The new option --timestamp causes the "monitor" command to print a timestamp with every update. - CFM module CCM broadcasts can now be tagged with an 802.1p priority. -- Open vSwitch team Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:12:48 +0900 openvswitch (1.5.0-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Open vSwitch team ] * New upstream version - OpenFlow: - Added support for querying, modifying, and deleting flows based on flow cookie when using NXM. - Added new NXM_PACKET_IN format. - ovs-ofctl: - Added daemonization support to the monitor and snoop commands. - ovs-vsctl: - The "find" command supports new set relational operators {=}, {!=}, {<}, {>}, {<=}, and {>=}. - ovsdb-tool now uses the typical database and schema installation directories as defaults. -- Open vSwitch team Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:12:48 +0900 openvswitch (1.4.0+git20120426-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release fixing the following bugs: o Broken log rotation. o Use-after-free error when ports disappear. o Minor memory leaks. o Testsuite failures on big-endian architectures. -- Ben Pfaff Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:46:55 -0700 openvswitch (1.4.0+git20120321-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version including: o Features: - ovs-vsctl: Allow "fake bridges" to be created for VLAN 0. - vswitchd: Make the MAC entry aging time configurable. - mac-learning: Increase MAC learning timeout to 300 seconds. o Bug fixes: - netdev-linux: Fix use-after-free when netdev_dump_queues() deletes queues. - netlink-socket: Increase Netlink socket receive buffer size. - ofproto: Fix code that keeps track of MTU. - ovs-monitor-ipsec: Detect correctly IPSEC configuration changes - bond: Incorrectly reported an error in appctl. - socket-util: Unlink Unix domain sockets that bind but fail to connect. - bridge: Remove unwanted ports at time of ofproto creation. - dpif-linux: Make dpif_linux_port_query_by_name() query only one datapath. - ofproto-dpif: Cleanup STP on ports when disabled on their bridge. - configure: Try to extract kernel source directory from build Makefile. - vswitchd: Always configure a default queue for QoS. - ofproto-dpif: Don't output to in_port even if in_port is OFPP_LOCAL. - sflow_agent: Use snprintf() in place of sprintf(). o Packaging: - Move PKI directory to FHS-compliant location.

I believe that this upload should be suitable for downgrading that bug's severity. -- Ben Pfaff Wed, 21 Mar 2012 10:00:28 -0700 openvswitch (1.4.0-2+nmu1) unstable; urgency=low * Non maintainer upload. * Removes all patches in debian/patches, because they are patching stuff inconditionally in debian/*, and this should be applied by default. * Uses the correct ${kernel_source_dir} in debian/dkms.conf.in, so that the kernel module builds as expected (Closes: #659685). -- Thomas Goirand Thu, 08 Mar 2012 08:46:24 +0000 openvswitch (1.4.0-2) unstable; urgency=low * Use explicit DKMS variable for kernel source directory - 0001-debian-Fix-dependencies-for-openvswitch-datapath-dkm.patch - 0002-debian-Look-in-lib-modules-instead-of-usr-src-for-DK.patch - 0001-debian-Use-provided-kernel-source-dir.patch - 0001-debian-Do-not-run-make-if-configure-fails-during-DKM.patch - (closes: #659685) * Don't install Python modules for obsolete Python versions - 0001-debian-Don-t-install-Python-modules-for-obsolete-Pyt.patch -- Simon Horman Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:43:13 +0900 openvswitch (1.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Open vSwitch team ] * New upstream version - Compatible with Open vSwitch kernel module included in Linux 3.3. - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers in old Linux versions. (This feature is deprecated. When broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will delete this feature.) See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more information. - OpenFlow: - Added ability to match on IPv6 flow label through NXM. - Added ability to match on ECN bits in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM. - Added ability to match on TTL in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM. - Added ability to modify ECN bits in IPv4. - Added ability to modify TTL in IPv4. - ovs-vswitchd: - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors. Traffic will now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their actions. - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors. - ovs-appctl: - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table. - ovs-test: - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or Xen packages. - RHEL packaging now supports integration with Red Hat network scripts. - Debian: Depend on python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse instead of python-argparse to avoid pulling in python2.6 (closes: #653645) -- Open vSwitch team Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:36:00 +0000 openvswitch (1.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Open vSwitch team ] * New upstream version - OpenFlow: - Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept NXM fields. - Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning. - Bumped number of NXM registers from four to five. - ovs-appctl: - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon. - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed information about all interfaces with CFM enabled. - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed information about all ports with LACP enabled. - ovs-vswitchd: - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127. - Add support for 802.1D spanning tree (STP). - Fragment handling extensions: - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4 fields are made available for matching in fragments with offset 0. - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl). - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set fragment handling policy. - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key.

A new "vlan_mode" parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access", "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged". - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead. -- Open vSwitch team Mon, 09 Dec 2011 23:36:00 +0000 openvswitch (1.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Open vSwitch team ] * New upstream version - 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.
