-Post-v2.0.0
+Post-v2.1.0
+---------------------
+ - The "ovsdbmonitor" graphical tool has been removed, because it was
+ poorly maintained and not widely used.
+ - New "check-ryu" Makefile target for running Ryu tests for OpenFlow
+ controllers against Open vSwitch. See INSTALL for details.
+ - Added IPFIX support for SCTP flows and templates for ICMPv4/v6 flows.
+ - Upon the receipt of a SIGHUP signal, ovs-vswitchd no longer reopens its
+ log file (it will terminate instead). Please use 'ovs-appctl vlog/reopen'
+ instead.
+ - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.12. On Kernel 3.12 OVS uses tunnel
+ API for GRE and VXLAN.

+v2.1.0 - xx xxx xxxx
---------------------
-
- Address prefix tracking support for flow tables. New columns
"prefixes" in OVS-DB table "Flow_Table" controls which packet
header fields are used for address prefix tracking. Prefix
* OVS limits the OpenFlow port numbers it assigns to port 32767 and
below, leaving port numbers above that range free for assignment
by the controller.
+ * ovs-vswitchd now honors changes to the "ofport_request" column
+ in the Interface table by changing the port's OpenFlow port
+ number.
- ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 man page will contain graphviz/dot
diagram only if graphviz package was installed at the build time.
- Support for Linux kernels up to 3.11
- ovs-dpctl:
The "show" command also displays mega flow mask stats.
+ - ovs-ofctl:
+ * New command "ofp-parse-pcap" to dump OpenFlow from PCAP files.
- ovs-controller has been renamed test-controller. It is no longer
packaged or installed by default, because too many users assumed
incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or desirable part
of an Open vSwitch deployment.
- Added vlog option to export to a UDP syslog sink.
+ - ovsdb-client:
+ * The "monitor" command can now monitor all tables in a database,
+ instead of being limited to a single table.
+ - The flow-eviction-threshold has been replaced by the flow-limit which is a
+ hard limit on the number of flows in the datapath. It defaults to 200,000
+ flows. OVS automatically adjusts this number depending on network
+ conditions.
+ - Added IPv6 support for active and passive socket communications.
