+   - The "learn" action supports a new flag "delete_learned" that causes
+     the learned flows to be deleted when the flow with the "learn" action
+     is deleted.
+   - Basic support for the Geneve tunneling protocol. It is not yet
+     possible to generate or match options. This is planned for a future
+     release. The protocol is documented at
+     http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00
+   - The OVS database now reports controller rate limiting statistics.
+   - ovs-dpctl functionality is now available for datapaths integrated
+     into ovs-vswitchd, via ovs-appctl.  Some existing ovs-appctl
+     commands are now redundant and will be removed in a future
+     release.  See ovs-vswitchd(8) for details.
+   - OpenFlow:
+     * OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) extended registers are now supported.
+     * OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) Copy-Field action is now supported.
+     * OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) masked Set-Field action is now supported.
+     * OpenFlow 1.3+ table features requests are now supported (read-only).
+     * Nicira extension "move" actions may now be included in action sets.
+     * "resubmit" actions may now be included in action sets.  The resubmit
+       is executed last, and only if the action set has no "output" or "group"
+       action.
+   - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because
+     MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable
+     it in OpenSSL.
+   - ovsdb-server: New OVSDB protocol extension allows inequality tests on
+     "optional scalar" columns.  See ovsdb-server(1) for details.
+   - ovs-vsctl now permits immutable columns in a new row to be modified in
+     the same transaction that creates the row.
+   - test-controller has been renamed ovs-testcontroller at request of users
+     who find it useful for testing basic OpenFlow setups.  It is still not
+     a necessary or desirable part of most Open vSwitch deployments.
+   - Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
+     added. Build failures are reported to build@openvswitch.org. See INSTALL
+     file for additional details.
+   - Experimental support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
+     (IEEE 802.1D-2004).  More conformance and interoperability testing is
+     still needed, so this should not be enabled on production environments.
+   - Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface.
+   - Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.

      packets with the larger number of masks, but when paired with an
      older kernel module, some workloads may perform worse with the
