 ---------------------

+    - 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

+      * The "load" and "set_field" actions can now modify the "in_port".  (This

+    - 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.
