-post-v1.10.0
+post-v1.11.0
---------------------
+ - OpenFlow:
+ * 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.
+ - 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").
+
+
+v1.11.0 - xx xxx xxxx
+---------------------
+ - 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.
- The autopath action has been removed.
- New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
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".
+ - 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 - xx xxx xxxx
+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
retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
- Patch ports no longer require kernel support, so they now work
with FreeBSD and the kernel module built into Linux 3.3 and later.
+ - New "sample" action.
