-v2.1.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+   - OpenFlow 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are now enabled by default in
+     ovs-vswitchd.
+   - Linux kernel datapath now has an exact match cache optimizing the
+     flow matching process.
+   - Datapath flows now have partially wildcarded tranport port field
+     matches.  This reduces userspace upcalls, but increases the
+     number of different masks in the datapath.  The kernel datapath
+     exact match cache removes the overhead of matching the incoming
+     packets with the larger number of masks, but when paired with an
+     older kernel module, some workloads may perform worse with the
+     new userspace.
+
+v2.2.0 - xx xxx xxx
+---------------------
+   - Internal ports are no longer brought up by default, because it
+     should be an administrator task to bring up devices as they are
+     configured properly.
+   - ovs-vsctl now reports when ovs-vswitchd fails to create a new port or
+     bridge.
+   - The "ovsdbmonitor" graphical tool has been removed, because it was
+     poorly maintained and not widely used.
+   - New "check-ryu" Makefile target for running Ryu tests for OpenFlow
+     controllers against Open vSwitch.  See INSTALL for details.
+   - Added IPFIX support for SCTP flows and templates for ICMPv4/v6 flows.
+   - Upon the receipt of a SIGHUP signal, ovs-vswitchd no longer reopens its
+     log file (it will terminate instead). Please use 'ovs-appctl vlog/reopen'
+     instead.
+   - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.14. From Kernel 3.12 onwards OVS uses
+     tunnel API for GRE and VXLAN.
+   - Added DPDK support.
+   - Added support for custom vlog patterns in Python
