       - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
         fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.

+        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.
