+--------------------
+ - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are symmetric.
+ If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for tunneling to work. Note
+ this only applies to flow-based keys.
+ - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
+ Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
+ - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
+ - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
+ cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
+ The default log patterns now include this information.
+ - OpenFlow:
+ - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
+ fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
+ - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
+ - 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).
+ - 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.)
+ - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
+ - 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).

- kernel modules are renamed. openvswitch_mod.ko is now
openvswitch.ko and brcompat_mod.ko is now brcompat.ko.
- Increased the number of NXM registers to 8.
- - Added ability to configure dscp setting for manager and controller
+ - Added ability to configure DSCP setting for manager and controller
connections. By default, these connections have a DSCP value of
Internetwork Control (0xc0).
- Added the granular link health statistics, 'cfm_health', to an
- Added support for spawning ovs-test server from the client.
- Now ovs-test is able to automatically create test bridges and ports.
- "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" now prints observed TCP flags in TCP flows.
+ - Tripled flow setup performance.
- The "coverage/log" command previously available through ovs-appctl
has been replaced by "coverage/show". The new command replies with
coverage counter values, instead of logging them.
