-v1.11.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+Post-v2.0.0
 ---------------------
+   - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports will change to
+     IANA-assigned numbers in a future release.  Consider updating
+     your installations to specify port numbers instead of using the
+     defaults.
+
+
+v2.0.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+---------------------
+    - OpenFlow:
+      * Experimental support for OpenFlow 1.1 (in addition to 1.2 and
+        1.3, which had experimental support in 1.10).
+      * Experimental protocol support for OpenFlow 1.1+ groups.  This
+        does not yet include an implementation in the Open vSwitch
+        software switch.
+      * Experimental protocol support for OpenFlow 1.2+ meters.  This
+        does not yet include an implementation in the Open vSwitch
+        software switch.
+      * New support for matching outer source and destination IP address
+        of tunneled packets, for tunnel ports configured with the newly
+        added "remote_ip=flow" and "local_ip=flow" options.
+      * Support for matching on metadata 'pkt_mark' for interacting with
+        other system components. On Linux this corresponds to the skb
+        mark.
+      * Support matching, rewriting SCTP ports
+    - The Interface table in the database has a new "ifindex" column to
+      report the interface's OS-assigned ifindex.
+    - New "check-oftest" Makefile target for running OFTest against Open
+      vSwitch.  See README-OFTest for details.
+    - The flow eviction threshold has been moved to the Open_vSwitch table.
+    - Database names are now mandatory when specifying ovsdb-server options
+      through database paths (e.g. Private key option with the database name
+      should look like "--private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key").
+    - Added ovs-dev.py, a utility script helpful for Open vSwitch developers.
+    - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.10
+    - ovs-ofctl:
+      * New "ofp-parse" for printing OpenFlow messages read from a file.
+      * New commands for OpenFlow 1.1+ groups.
+    - Added configurable flow caching support to IPFIX exporter.
+    - Dropped support for Linux pre-2.6.32.
+    - Log file timestamps and ovsdb commit timestamps are now reported
+      with millisecond resolution.  (Previous versions only reported
+      whole seconds.)
+
+
+v1.11.0 - 28 Aug 2013
+---------------------
+    - Support for megaflows, which allows wildcarding in the kernel (and
+      any dpif implementation that supports wildcards).  Depending on
+      the flow table and switch configuration, flow set up rates are
+      close to the Linux bridge.
     - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
       Open vSwitch features.
     - Stable bond mode has been removed.

         1.1 and later are now implemented.
       * New "stack" extension for use in actions, to push and pop from
         NXM fields.
+      * The "load" and "set_field" actions can now modify the "in_port".  (This
+        allows one to enable output to a flow's input port by setting the
+        in_port to some unused value, such as OFPP_NONE.)
     - ovs-dpctl:
       * New debugging commands "add-flow", "mod-flow", "del-flow".
+      * "dump-flows" now has a -m option to increase output verbosity.
+    - In dpif-based bridges, cache action translations, which can improve
+      flow set up performance by 80% with a complicated flow table.
     - New syslog format, prefixed with "ovs|", to be easier to filter.
     - RHEL: Removes the default firewall rule that allowed GRE traffic to
       pass through. Any users that relied on this automatic firewall hole
       will have to manually configure it. The ovs-ctl(8) manpage documents
       the "enable-protocol" command that can be used as an alternative.
+    - New CFM demand mode which uses data traffic to indicate interface
+      liveness.

+v1.10.0 - 01 May 2013
 ---------------------
     - Bridge compatibility support has been removed.  Any uses that
       rely on ovs-brcompatd will have to stick with Open vSwitch 1.9.x
