 Post-v2.4.0
 ---------------------
+   - Dropped support for Python older than version 2.7.  As a consequence,
+     using Open vSwitch 2.5 or later on XenServer 6.5 or earlier (which
+     have Python 2.4) requires first installing Python 2.7.
+   - OpenFlow:
+     * Group chaining (where one OpenFlow group triggers another) is
+       now supported.
+     * OpenFlow 1.4+ "importance" is now considered for flow eviction.
+     * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPTC_EVICTION is now implemented.
+     * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_TABLE_DESC is now implemented.
+   - Support for matching/generating options as well as the OAM bit with
+     Geneve tunnels.
+   - Support Multicast Listener Discovery (MLDv1 and MLDv2).
+   - Add 'symmetric_l3l4' and 'symmetric_l3l4+udp' hash functions.
+   - sFlow agent now reports tunnel and MPLS structures.
+   - Added OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG and OFPT_GET_ASYNC_CONFIG
+     that allows controllers to have more precise control over OpenFlow1.4
+     asynchronous messages.
