+    - 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.

     - OpenFlow:
       - 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
+        also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
+        with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
+        for these ports for different purposes).
     - ovs-dpctl:
       - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
         the "add-if" command.

       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.)
+    - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns.  This
+      was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
+    - The following features are now deprecated.  They will be removed no

+        - Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).
+        - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery.
+        - CAPWAP tunnel support.
+    - The data in the RARP packets can now be matched in the same way as the
+      data in ARP packets.
