post-v1.7.0
------------------------
+ - 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:
- "mod-port" command can now control all OpenFlow config flags.
- - Added support for arbitrary ethernet masks
+ - 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.)
- 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.
