---------------------
+ - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-vsctl Please check
+ utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
+ - The MAC learning feature now includes per-port fairness to mitigate
+ MAC flooding attacks.
+ - New support for a "conjunctive match" OpenFlow extension, which
+ allows constructing OpenFlow matches of the form "field1 in
+ {a,b,c...} AND field2 in {d,e,f...}" and generalizations. For details,
+ see documentation for the "conjunction" action in ovs-ofctl(8).
- Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-appctl/ovs-dpctl/
ovs-ofctl/ovsdb-tool commands. Please check
utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.

- The OVS database now reports controller rate limiting statistics.
- sflow now exports information about LACP-based bonds, port names, and
- OpenFlow port numbers.
+ OpenFlow port numbers, as well as datapath performance counters.
- 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.
- * The OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) actset_output field is now supported.
- * OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) Copy-Field action is now supported.

+ * OpenFlow 1.5 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
- Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
added. Build failures are reported to build@openvswitch.org. See INSTALL.md
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.
+ - Support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D-2004).
+ The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated
+ Network Validation Library (ANVL).
- Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface.
- Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
- A simple wrapper script, 'ovs-docker', to integrate OVS with Docker
with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired.
- Added support for DPDK Tunneling. VXLAN and GRE are supported protocols.
This is generic tunneling mechanism for userspace datapath.
+ - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1 and IGMPv2)
+ - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.19.x
+ - The documentation now use the term 'destination' to mean one of syslog,
+ console or file for vlog logging instead of the previously used term
+ 'facility'.
+ - Support for VXLAN Group Policy extension
+ - Initial support for the IETF Auto-Attach SPBM draft standard. This
+ contains rudimentary support for the LLDP protocol as needed for
+ Auto-Attach.
+ - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports are now the IANA-assigned
+ numbers. OpenFlow is 6653 and OVSDB is 6640.

packets with the larger number of masks, but when paired with an
older kernel module, some workloads may perform worse with the
new userspace.
- - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1 and IGMPv2)
- Compatibility with autoconf 2.63 (previously >=2.64)
v2.2.0 - Internal Release
* ovs-vswitchd now honors changes to the "ofport_request" column
in the Interface table by changing the port's OpenFlow port
number.
+ * The Open vSwitch software switch now supports OpenFlow groups.
- ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 man page will contain graphviz/dot
diagram only if graphviz package was installed at the build time.
- Support for Linux kernels up to 3.11
