v1.9.0 - xx xxx xxxx
--------------------
- - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are symmetric.
- If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for tunneling to work. Note
- this only applies to flow-based keys.
+ - Datapath:
+ - Support for ipv6 set action.
+ - SKB mark matching and setting.
+ - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
- FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
- ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
- Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
- Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
+ - Tunneling:
+ - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
+ symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
+ tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
+ - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
+ - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
+ This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
+ - Tunnel header caching removed.
- ovs-ofctl:
- Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
program was not included in distribution packaging.)
- - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'. This
- feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
- ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
- - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
- The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
concerns.
+ - Bridge compatibility.
- Stable bond mode.
- The autopath action.
- Interface type "null".
