+v1.9.1 - 14 Mar 2013
+------------------------
+ - Bug fixes
+
+v1.9.0 - 26 Feb 2013
+------------------------
+ - 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.)
- - Stable bond mode is deprecated and will be removed no earlier than
- February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with concerns.
- - The autopath action is deprecated and will be removed no earlier than
- February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with concerns.
+ - 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
+ earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
+ concerns.
+ - Bridge compatibility.
+ - Stable bond mode.
+ - The autopath action.
+ - Interface type "null".
+ - 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.
