-Post-v1.2.0
+v1.5.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+------------------------
+    - OpenFlow:
+        - Added support for querying, modifying, and deleting flows
+          based on flow cookie when using NXM.
+        - Added new NXM_PACKET_IN format.
+    - ovs-ofctl:
+        - Added daemonization support to the monitor and snoop commands.
+    - ovs-vsctl:
+        - The "find" command supports new set relational operators
+          {=}, {!=}, {<}, {>}, {<=}, and {>=}.
+    - ovsdb-tool now uses the typical database and schema installation
+      directories as defaults.
+    - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
+      to 300 seconds.  The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
+
+
+v1.4.0 - 30 Jan 2012
+------------------------
+    - Compatible with Open vSwitch kernel module included in Linux 3.3.
+    - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers
+      in old Linux versions.  (This feature is deprecated.  When
+      broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will
+      delete this feature.)  See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more
+      information.
+    - OpenFlow:
+       - Added ability to match on IPv6 flow label through NXM.
+       - Added ability to match on ECN bits in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
+       - Added ability to match on TTL in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
+       - Added ability to modify ECN bits in IPv4.
+       - Added ability to modify TTL in IPv4.
+    - ovs-vswitchd:
+       - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors.  Traffic will
+         now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their
+         actions.
+       - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors.
+       - The sFlow implementation can now usually infer the correct agent
+         device instead of having to be told explicitly.
+    - ovs-appctl:
+      - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table.
+    - ovs-test:
+      - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance
+        and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or
+        Xen packages.
+    - RHEL packaging now supports integration with Red Hat network scripts.
+    - bonding:
+      - Post 1.4.*, OVS will be changing the default bond mode from balance-slb
+        to active-backup.  SLB bonds carry significant risks with them
+        (documented vswitchd/INTERNALS) which we want to prevent unsuspecting
+        users from running into.  Users are advised to update any scripts or
+        configuration which may be negatively impacted by explicitly setting
+        the bond mode which they want to use.
