-post-v1.10.0
+v1.11.0 - 28 Aug 2013
 ---------------------
+    - Support for megaflows, which allows wildcarding in the kernel (and
+      any dpif implementation that supports wildcards).  Depending on
+      the flow table and switch configuration, flow set up rates are
+      close to the Linux bridge.
+    - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
+      Open vSwitch features.
     - Stable bond mode has been removed.
     - The autopath action has been removed.
-    - CAPWAP tunneling support removed.
     - New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
       protocol (RFC 6830).  An external control plane or manual flow
       setup is required for EID-to-RLOC mapping.
+    - OpenFlow:
+      * The "dec_mpls_ttl" and "set_mpls_ttl" actions from OpenFlow
+        1.1 and later are now implemented.
+      * New "stack" extension for use in actions, to push and pop from
+        NXM fields.
+      * The "load" and "set_field" actions can now modify the "in_port".  (This
+        allows one to enable output to a flow's input port by setting the
+        in_port to some unused value, such as OFPP_NONE.)
+    - ovs-dpctl:
+      * New debugging commands "add-flow", "mod-flow", "del-flow".
+    - In dpif-based bridges, cache action translations, which can improve
+      flow set up performance by 80% with a complicated flow table.
+    - New syslog format, prefixed with "ovs|", to be easier to filter.
+    - RHEL: Removes the default firewall rule that allowed GRE traffic to
+      pass through. Any users that relied on this automatic firewall hole
+      will have to manually configure it. The ovs-ctl(8) manpage documents
+      the "enable-protocol" command that can be used as an alternative.
+    - New CFM demand mode which uses data traffic to indicate interface
+      liveness.
