+------------------------
+    - 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.
+    - 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.)
+    - Stable bond mode is deprecated and will be removed no earlier than
+      February 2013.  Please email dev@openvswitch.org with concerns.
+    - The autopath action is deprecated and will be removed no earlier than
+      February 2013.  Please email dev@openvswitch.org with concerns.
+    - The null interface type is deprecated and will be removed no earlier
+      than February 2013.  Please email dev@openvswitch.org with concerns.

     - New FAQ.  Please send updates and additions!
+    - Authors of controllers, please read the new section titled "Action

+    - ovs-l3ping:
+        - A new test utility that can create L3 tunnel between two Open
+          vSwitches and detect connectivity issues.
     - ovs-ofctl:
+        - New --sort and --rsort options for "dump-flows" command.
         - "mod-port" command can now control all OpenFlow config flags.

     - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
       false.  For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.
     - Open vSwitch now sends RARP packets in situations where it previously
       sent a custom protocol, making it consistent with behavior of QEMU and
       VMware.
