- OpenFlow:
- Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
- - ovs-dpctl
+ - ovs-ofctl:
+ - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
+ that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
+ also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
+ with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
+ for these ports for different purposes).
+ - Commands and actions that accept port numbers no longer accept port 0,
+ which is not a valid port number in OpenFlow 1.0 and later.
+ - ovs-dpctl:
- Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
the "add-if" command.
+ - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
+ the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
+ alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
+ are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
+ feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
+ program was not included in distribution packaging.)
+ - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
+ was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
+ - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
+ - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
+ earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
+ concerns.
+ - Stable bond mode.
+ - The autopath action.
+ - Interface type "null".
+ - Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).
