+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. By
+ default it remains compatible with the old version and other
+ standards-based implementations.
+ - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
+ to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
+ a denial of service attack.
+ - Added support for native VLAN tagging. 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.

+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.
+ Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
+ - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
+ to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
+ - Performance and scalability improvements
+ - Bug fixes
