-port-v1.4.0
+post-v1.6.0
+------------------------
+    - kernel modules are renamed. openvswitch_mod.ko is now
+      openvswitch.ko and brcompat_mod.ko is now brcompat.ko.
+
+
+v1.6.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+------------------------
+    - bonding
+        - LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail.
+          Instead they drop traffic.
+        - The default bond_mode changed from SLB to active-backup, to protect
+          unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
+          documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
+        - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
+          to zero.
+    - OpenFlow:
+        - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
+          See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
+        - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
+          timeouts.
+        - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
+          controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
+          receive asynchronously.
+        - New "fin_timeout" action.
+        - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
+        - New Nicira action NXAST_CONTROLLER that offers additional features
+          over output to OFPP_CONTROLLER.
+    - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
+      to 300 seconds.  The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
+    - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
+      (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
+      queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
+    - Logging:
+        - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for
+          all the daemons. An example of the default format is
+          2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.  ovs-appctl can be used to change the default
+          format as before.
+        - The syntax of commands and options to set log levels was simplified,
+          to make it easier to remember.
+    - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
+      table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
+      overflow.  See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
+      for more information.
+    - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table.  If set to
+      false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
+      asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.
+    - ofproto-provider interface:
+        - "struct rule" has a new member "used" that ofproto implementations
+          should maintain by updating with ofproto_rule_update_used().
+    - ovsdb-client:
+        - The new option --timestamp causes the "monitor" command to print
+          a timestamp with every update.
+    - CFM module CCM broadcasts can now be tagged with an 802.1p priority.
+
+
+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.
+        - Added new NXAST_DEC_TTL action.
     - 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.
 
 
-v1.4.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+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
