5 threads are now used to handle flow set up and asynchronous
8 * Experimental support for OpenFlow 1.1 (in addition to 1.2 and
9 1.3, which had experimental support in 1.10).

19 - New "check-oftest" Makefile target for running OFTest against Open
20 vSwitch. See README-OFTest for details.
21 - The flow eviction threshold has been moved to the Open_vSwitch table.
22 - Database names are now mandatory when specifying ovsdb-server options
23 through database paths (e.g. Private key option with the database name

40 - Support for megaflows, which allows wildcarding in the kernel (and
41 any dpif implementation that supports wildcards). Depending on
42 the flow table and switch configuration, flow set up rates are
43 close to the Linux bridge.
44 - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
45 Open vSwitch features.
46 - Stable bond mode has been removed.
47 - The autopath action has been removed.
48 - New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
49 protocol (RFC 6830). An external control plane or manual flow
50 setup is required for EID-to-RLOC mapping.
52 * The "dec_mpls_ttl" and "set_mpls_ttl" actions from OpenFlow
53 1.1 and later are now implemented.
54 * New "stack" extension for use in actions, to push and pop from
56 * The "load" and "set_field" actions can now modify the "in_port". (This
57 allows one to enable output to a flow's input port by setting the
58 in_port to some unused value, such as OFPP_NONE.)
60 * New debugging commands "add-flow", "mod-flow", "del-flow".
61 - In dpif-based bridges, cache action translations, which can improve
62 flow set up performance by 80% with a complicated flow table.
63 - New syslog format, prefixed with "ovs|", to be easier to filter.
64 - RHEL: Removes the default firewall rule that allowed GRE traffic to
65 pass through. Any users that relied on this automatic firewall hole
66 will have to manually configure it. The ovs-ctl(8) manpage documents
67 the "enable-protocol" command that can be used as an alternative.

78 or adapt to native Open vSwitch support (e.g. use ovs-vsctl instead
80 - The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.
81 - With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
82 separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
83 possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
84 prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.
85 - Many "ovs-vsctl" database commands now accept an --if-exists option.
86 Please refer to the ovs-vsctl manpage for details.
88 - Experimental support for newer versions of OpenFlow. See
89 the "What versions of OpenFlow does Open vSwitch support?"
90 question in the FAQ for more details.
91 - The OpenFlow "dp_desc" may now be configured by setting the
92 value of other-config:dp-desc in the Bridge table.
93 - It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
94 "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.
96 - New support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol (see the IETF draft here:
97 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-03).
98 - Tunneling requires the version of the kernel module paired with
99 Open vSwitch 1.9.0 or later.
100 - Inheritance of the Don't Fragment bit in IP tunnels (df_inherit)
101 is no longer supported.
102 - Path MTU discovery is no longer supported.
104 - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
105 if only one datapath exists.
107 - New "vlog/disable-rate-limit" and "vlog/enable-rate-limit"
108 commands available allow control over logging rate limits.
109 - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
110 that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
111 - The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
112 numbers. An ofproto implementation should assign them when
113 port_construct() is called.
114 - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
115 datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system". The ovs-dpctl
116 commands will now return information on that shared datapath. To
117 get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
118 "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
119 - Backward-incompatible changes:
120 - Earlier Open vSwitch versions treated ANY as a wildcard in flow
121 syntax. OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
122 conflict. ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
123 retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
124 - Patch ports no longer require kernel support, so they now work
125 with FreeBSD and the kernel module built into Linux 3.3 and later.

135 - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
136 - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
137 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
138 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
139 - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
140 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
141 The default log patterns now include this information.
143 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
144 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
145 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
147 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
148 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
149 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
150 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
151 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
152 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
153 - Tunnel header caching removed.
155 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
156 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
157 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
158 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
159 for these ports for different purposes).
161 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
162 the "add-if" command.
163 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
164 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
165 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
166 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
167 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
168 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
169 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
170 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
171 - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
172 earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with

208 - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
209 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
210 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous

267 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
268 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
269 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval

281 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
282 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
283 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
284 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
285 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
286 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
287 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
288 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
289 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
290 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
291 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
292 for more information.

515 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
516 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
517 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
518 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
519 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
520 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
521 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
522 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
523 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
524 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
526 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
527 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
528 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
530 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
531 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
533 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
534 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
535 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
536 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
537 - Performance and scalability improvements
