     - OpenFlow:
         - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
           See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
-    - 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.
+        - 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().
-    - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
-      to 300 seconds.  The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
     - ovsdb-client:
         - The new option --timestamp causes the "monitor" command to print
           a timestamp with every update.
