 post-v1.9.0
 --------------------
+    - Bridge compatibility support has been removed.  Any uses that
+      rely on ovs-brcompatd will have to stick with Open vSwitch 1.9.x
+      or adapt to native Open vSwitch support (e.g. use ovs-vsctl instead
+      of brctl).
+    - The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.
+    - New support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol (see the IETF draft here:
+      http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-02).
+    - With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
+      separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
+      possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
+      prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.
+    - Many "ovs-vsctl" database commands now accept an --if-exists option.
+      Please refer to the ovs-vsctl manpage for details.
+    - New "vlog/disable-rate-limit" and "vlog/enable-rate-limit" commands
+      available through ovs-appctl allow control over logging rate limits.
+    - The OpenFlow "dp_desc" may now be configured by setting the value of 
+      other-config:dp-desc in the Bridge table.
+    - Path MTU discovery is no longer supported.
+    - Backward-incompatible changes:
+      - Earlier Open vSwitch versions treated ANY as a wildcard in flow
+        syntax.  OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
+        conflict.  ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
+        retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
+    - Inheritance of the Don't Fragment bit in IP tunnels (df_inherit) is
+      no longer supported.
