Changelog for openvswitch-ovn-common-2.7.0-2.2.x86_64.rpm :

* Fri Dec 29 2017 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Add support for RedHat distributions. All SUSE macros are now conditional and the spec file has been adapted based on the upstream one (fate#324537)- spec-cleaner fixes
* Wed Dec 06 2017 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Fix documentation installation. It\'s best to install everything to %buildroot and then remove the files we don\'t need instead of the other way around since some files need to be present in the source directory for the testsuite to run (bsc#1076284)
* Wed Nov 29 2017 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Add upstream patches to fix memory leaks (cve-2017-14970) (bsc#1061310)
* 0001-ofp-util-Fix-memory-leaks-when-parsing-OF1.5-group-p.patch
* 0001-ofp-util-Fix-memory-leaks-on-error-cases-in-ofputil_.patch
* Wed Sep 06 2017 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Fix \'Provides\' version constraints for old openvswitch-dpdk package. Also fix the logrotate file to be named after the package name instead of the obsoleted openvswitch-switch one (bsc#1057357)
* Wed Aug 16 2017 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Add missing post/postun scriptlets for ovn-common subpackage (bsc#1054094) The ovn-common subpackage contains the libovn library so it needs to call ldconfig after installation or removal.
* Thu Jul 27 2017 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Do not restart the ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server services on package updates (bsc#1002734)- Do not restart the ovs-vswitchd, ovsdb-server and openvswitch services on package removals. This facilitates potential future package moves but also preserves connectivity when the package is removed (bsc#1050896)
* Wed Jul 19 2017 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Add upstream patches to fix two security vulnerabilities
* 0001-ofp-print-Don-t-abort-on-unknown-reason-in-role-stat.patch (cve-2017-9263) (bsc#1041470)
* 0001-ofp-util-Check-length-of-buckets-in-ofputil_pull_ofp.patch (cve-2017-9265) (bsc#1041447)
* Sat May 27 2017 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Install firewalld OVN files with chmod 644 instead of 755 (4a54614120ea)- Use python-six instead of python2-six dependency to cover distributions which are not using the python-singlespec packaging specification yet (bsc#1041110)- Add upstream patch to fix a buffer overread vulnerability (cve-2017-9214) (bsc#1040543)
* 0001-ofp-util-Fix-buffer-overread-in-ofputil_pull_queue_g.patch
* Tue Feb 28 2017 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Version bump to 2.7.0 (fate#321541). Some of the changes are:
* Utilities and daemons that support SSL now allow protocols and ciphers to be configured with --ssl-protocols and --ssl-ciphers.
* OVN: - QoS is now implemented via egress shaping rather than ingress policing. - DSCP marking is now supported, via the new northbound QoS table. - IPAM now supports fixed MAC addresses. - Support for source IP address based routing. - ovn-trace:
* New --ovs option to also print OpenFlow flows.
* put_dhcp_opts and put_dhcp_optsv6 actions may now be traced. - Support for managing SSL and remote connection configuration in northbound and southbound databases.
* Fixed regression in table stats maintenance introduced in OVS 2.3.0, wherein the number of OpenFlow table hits and misses was not accurate.
* OpenFlow: - OFPT_PACKET_OUT messages are now supported in bundles. - A new \"selection_method=dp_hash\" type for OpenFlow select group bucket selection that uses the datapath computed 5-tuple hash without making datapath flows match the 5-tuple fields, which is useful for more efficient load balancing, for example. This uses the Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ that allows control over the OpenFlow select groups selection method. See \"selection_method\" and related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for details. - The \"sample\" action now supports \"ingress\" and \"egress\" options. - The \"ct\" action now supports the TFTP ALG where support is available. - New actions \"clone\" and \"ct_clear\".
* ovs-ofctl: - \'bundle\' command now supports packet-out messages. - New syntax for \'ovs-ofctl packet-out\' command, which uses the same string parser as the \'bundle\' command. The old \'packet-out\' syntax is deprecated and will be removed in a later OVS release. - New unixctl \"ofctl/packet-out\" command, which can be used to instruct a flow monitor to issue OpenFlow packet-out messages.
* ovsdb-server: - Remote connections can now be made read-only (see ovsdb-server(1)).
* DPDK: - Support for DPDK v16.11. - Support for rx checksum offload. Refer DPDK HOWTO for details. - Port Hotplug is now supported. - DPDK physical ports can now have arbitrary names. The PCI address of the device must be set using the \'dpdk-devargs\' option. Compatibility with the old dpdk naming scheme is broken, and as such a device will not be available for use until a valid dpdk-devargs is specified. - Virtual DPDK Poll Mode Driver (vdev PMD) support.
* For the complete list of changes, please see: - http://openvswitch.org/releases/NEWS-2.7.0- Add patch to fix DPDK configuration migration for < 2.6 installations
* 0001-utilities-Add-script-to-support-DPDK-option-migratio.patch- Rework spec file
* Enable DPDK by default and drop openvswitch-dpdk
* packages. DPDK is only enabled on supported architectures though. - Remove openvswitch-dpdk.changes - Remove openvswitch-dpdk.spec - Remove pre_checkin.sh
* Merge openvswitch and openvswitch-switch into a single package since there was no compelling reason to keep the switch functionality in a separate subpackage.
* Split OVN package to ovn-common, ovn-central, ovn-docker, ovn-host and ovn-controller similar to the Debian and RedHat packages.
* Fri Nov 25 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Relax the DPDK dependency a bit so we can support stable and possibly new minor releases as well.
* Mon Nov 21 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Do not restart the openvswitch service after a package update. Restarting the systemd service may break connectivity so let the user decide when it is the best time for such an action. (bsc#1002734)
* Thu Nov 03 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Version bump to 2.6.1. Some of the changes are:
* ovn: Do not reply to ARP or ND NS for a VM\'s own IP address.
* ovs-ofctl: Tolerate differences in IPv6 formatting.
* netdev-linux: double tagged packets should use 0x88a8
* expr: Fix abort when simplifying \"x != 0/0\".
* dpif-netdev: Fix crash in dpif_netdev_execute().
* ovn-controller: Container can have connection to a hosting VM.
* stream-ssl: Fix memory leak on error path.
* Other bug fixes.
* Mon Oct 03 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Version bump to 2.6.0. Some of the changes are:
* First supported release of OVN. See ovn-architecture(7) for more details.
* ovsdb-server: - New \"monitor_cond\" \"monitor_cond_update\" and \"update2\" extensions to RFC 7047.
* OpenFlow: - OpenFlow 1.3+ bundles now expire after 10 seconds since the last time the bundle was either opened, modified, or closed. - OpenFlow 1.3 Extension 230, adding OpenFlow Bundles support, is now implemented. - OpenFlow 1.3+ bundles are now supported for group mods as well as flow mods and port mods. Both \'atomic\' and \'ordered\' bundle flags are supported for group mods as well as flow mods. - Internal OpenFlow rule representation for load and set-field actions is now much more memory efficient. For a complex flow table this can reduce rule memory consumption by 40%. - Bundles are now much more memory efficient than in OVS 2.5. Together with memory efficiency improvements in OpenFlow rule representation, the peak OVS resident memory use during a bundle commit for large complex set of flow mods can be only 25% of that in OVS 2.5 (4x lower). - OpenFlow 1.1+ OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REQUEST now supports OFPP_ANY. - OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_QUEUE_DESC is now supported. - OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPT_TABLE_STATUS is now supported. - New property-based packet-in message format NXT_PACKET_IN2 with support for arbitrary user-provided data and for serializing flow table traversal into a continuation for later resumption. - New extension message NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG2 to allow OpenFlow 1.4-like control over asynchronous messages in earlier versions of OpenFlow. - [...] - For a complete list of changes, please see http://openvswitch.org/releases/NEWS-2.6.0- Remove obsolete patches and files

* Bug fixes
* Tue Sep 06 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Add new DPDK_OPTIONS environment variable to hold the dpdk vswitchd options so that the systemd unit files can be used to launch an ovs-vswitcd DPDK capable instance instead of doing it manually. (bsc#987265)
* 0001-ovs-ctl-Add-new-DPDK_OPTIONS-environment-variable.patch
* Sun Aug 14 2016 roAATTsuse.de- enable openvswitch-dpdk on aarch64 since dpdk builds on aarch64 now
* Sun Aug 07 2016 roAATTsuse.de- remove aarch from openvswitch-dpdk until we have a dpdk that builds for aarch64
* Tue Jul 12 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Add missing licenses (bsc#988513)- Misc spec file cleanups highlighted by the spec-cleaner tool.- Allow aarch64 builds for openvswitch-dpdk
* Mon Jul 04 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Allow the OvS daemon to run as non-root (bsc#987545)- Add missing \'Conflicts\' statements to all the subpackages as required by the Factory review tools.
* Wed Jun 29 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Remove the ?_with_dpdk macro usage since this is not being set without explicitly passing --with/--without during an OBS build. This reverts back to using the %{with dpdk} style which is set automatically based on %bcond_with
* macros (bsc#989335).
* Tue Jun 28 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Fix subpackage dependencies to not require the non-existent python DPDK subpackages (bsc#986835). We do not provide DPDK versions of the python bindings so nothing should depend on these subpackages.
* Wed Jun 22 2016 jengelhAATTinai.de- Update rpm groups, acronym forms.
* Tue Jun 21 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Multiple fixes for the openvswitch-dpdk package (bsc#985878)
* Rename main package name to openvswitch-dpdk
* Do not build the python and kmp packages since they do not depend on the DPDK capabilities
* Remove the open_virtual_switch capability. The openvswitch-common will be used by reverse dependencies to require either of the OvS packages.
* Provide virtual capabilities for all DPDK subpackages.
* Fix the dependencies in the python package to require either of the OvS packages.
* Suggest the kmp package only if it\'s actually provided.
* Small cleanups.
* Fri May 27 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Add %check directive to run the openvswitch testsuite on demand. The openvswitch contains hundreds of tests covering simple and complex openvswitch configuration so it\'s beneficial to run them during package builds. However, running the testsuite is not enabled by default. Also add the following upstream patch:
* 0001-Remove-broken-pipe-warning-logs-from-ovsdb-server.lo.patch
* Thu May 26 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Build a DPDK-enabled Open vSwitch (fate#319170)
* Apply the following changes to the openvswitch.spec file - Add support for building with DPDK capabilities - Add conflicts between the two packages. - Add new \'open_virtual_switch-
*\' capabilities for openvswitch, openvswitch-switch, openvswitch-test packages which can be used by reverse dependencies to select between the two openvswitch implementations.
* Add pre_checkin.sh to generate the openvswitch_dpdk.spec file based on the openvswitch.spec one.
* Add upstream openvswitch-2.5.0-detect-dpdk-installation.patch patch to detect and link against a DPDK installation.
* Mon May 23 2016 jengelhAATTinai.de- Keep %prep small for speedier `quilt setup`. Kill __DATE__ from source. Drop all .la files that are in %_libdir.
* Fri May 20 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Add missing %dir directive for /var/log/openvswitch
* Thu May 19 2016 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- remove aarch64 conditional, no longer needed
* Thu May 05 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Multiple spec file and package fixes.
* Drop obsolete log-check-module-loop.patch patch.
* Drop conditional code for older openSUSE releases. This also removes all of the sysvinit files which were pulled in when the package was originally developed.
* Drop support for building the GUI. The GUI code has been removed in 7868fbc6c97c2 (\"ovsdbmonitor: Remove.\") upstream commit and it does not exist since v2.2.0 so drop the code in the spec file.
* Use the upstream systemd service files for the OVN components instead of maintaining our own downstream.
* Drop the unofficial ipsec support. It hasn\'t been enabled in years.
* Drop support for building the upstream kernel module since it\'s being shipped with the kernel package in latest releases. Restore the %bcond_with kmp to make it easier to build the external kernel module if needed.
* Fix some suse-missing-rclink rpmlint warnings for the ovn subpackage
* Base our service unit to the upstream one.
* Stop silently enabling the GRE protocol in iptables by default.
* Install the upstream sysconfig file to pass more information to the openvswitch service unit.
* Use make install instead of %makeinstall
* Drop brcompat leftovers.
* spec-cleaner fixes
* Fri Apr 01 2016 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- address dimstars concerns
* Tue Mar 22 2016 mchandrasAATTsuse.de- Prevent systemd from autogenerating a service file for openvswitch-switch which conflicts with the opevswitch one. (bsc#966762)
* Fri Mar 18 2016 kmrozAATTsuse.com- Add missing %defattr to ovn files section.
* Tue Mar 08 2016 kmrozAATTsuse.com- Add additional install requirements for python-openvswitch-test package.
* Fri Mar 04 2016 kmrozAATTsuse.com- Add support for building both 2.4.0 and 2.5.0 from the same spec file. Needed to fix SLE11 builds as OVS-2.5.0 no longer supports python < 2.7. SLE11 SP3 and SP4 use python 2.6.- Added: openvswitch-2.4.0.tar.gz
* Thu Mar 03 2016 kmrozAATTsuse.com- New upstream version 2.5.0 (LTS) - 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+ OFPTC_VACANCY_EVENTS is now implemented.
* OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_TABLE_DESC is now implemented.
* Allow modifying the ICMPv4/ICMPv6 type and code fields.
* OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG and OFPT_GET_ASYNC_CONFIG are now implemented. - ovs-ofctl:
* New \"out_group\" keyword for OpenFlow 1.1+ matching on output group. - Tunnels:
* Geneve tunnels can now match and set options and the OAM bit.
* The nonstandard GRE64 tunnel extension has been dropped. - Support Multicast Listener Discovery (MLDv1 and MLDv2). - Add \'symmetric_l3l4\' and \'symmetric_l3l4+udp\' hash functions. - sFlow agent now reports tunnel and MPLS structures. - New \'check-system-userspace\', \'check-kmod\' and \'check-kernel\' Makefile targets to run a new system testsuite. These tests can be run inside a Vagrant box. See INSTALL.md for details - Mark --syslog-target argument as deprecated. It will be removed in the next OVS release. - Added --user option to all daemons - Add support for connection tracking through the new \"ct\" action and \"ct_state\"/\"ct_zone\"/\"ct_mark\"/\"ct_label\" match fields. Only available on Linux kernels with the connection tracking module loaded. - Add experimental version of OVN. OVN, the Open Virtual Network, is a system to support virtual network abstraction. OVN complements the existing capabilities of OVS to add native support for virtual network abstractions, such as virtual L2 and L3 overlays and security groups. - RHEL packaging:
* DPDK ports may now be created via network scripts (see README.RHEL). - DPDK:
* Requires DPDK 2.2
* Added multiqueue support to vhost-user
* Note: QEMU 2.5+ required for multiqueue support - SELinux:
* Introduced SELinux policy package.- New package: openvswitch-ovn- Removed: openvswitch-2.4.0.tar.gg- Added: openvswitch-2.5.0.tar.gg- Added: openvswitch-testcontroller.init- Added: ovn-controller-vtep.service- Added: ovn-controller.service- Added: ovn-northd.service- TODO: Explicit DPDK support not yet added to spec.- Spec file work and cleanup.- Includes fixes (or obsoletes) the following issues:
* bsc#948840, bsc#941466, bsc#936780, bnc#935750, bnc#867964
* Tue Mar 01 2016 kmrozAATTsuse.com- Tighten up openvswitch service ordering. bsc#968205 (openSUSE), bsc#951314 (SLE).
* Wed Feb 24 2016 kmrozAATTsuse.com- Don\'t install INSTALL.
* files.
* Wed Feb 24 2016 kmrozAATTsuse.com- Removed: openvswitch-switch.template
* Wed Feb 24 2016 kmrozAATTsuse.com- New upstream version 2.4.0 - Flow table modifications are now atomic, meaning that each packet now sees a coherent version of the OpenFlow pipeline. For example, if a controller removes all flows with a single OpenFlow \"flow_mod\", no packet sees an intermediate version of the OpenFlow pipeline where only some of the flows have been deleted. - Added support for SFQ, FQ_CoDel and CoDel qdiscs. - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-vsctl Please check utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use. - The MAC learning feature now includes per-port fairness to mitigate MAC flooding attacks. - New support for a \"conjunctive match\" OpenFlow extension, which allows constructing OpenFlow matches of the form \"field1 in {a,b,c...} AND field2 in {d,e,f...}\" and generalizations. For details, see documentation for the \"conjunction\" action in ovs-ofctl(8). - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-appctl/ovs-dpctl/ ovs-ofctl/ovsdb-tool commands. Please check utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use. - The \"learn\" action supports a new flag \"delete_learned\" that causes the learned flows to be deleted when the flow with the \"learn\" action is deleted. - Basic support for the Geneve tunneling protocol. It is not yet possible to generate or match options. This is planned for a future release. The protocol is documented at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00 - The OVS database now reports controller rate limiting statistics. - sflow now exports information about LACP-based bonds, port names, and OpenFlow port numbers, as well as datapath performance counters. - ovs-dpctl functionality is now available for datapaths integrated into ovs-vswitchd, via ovs-appctl. Some existing ovs-appctl commands are now redundant and will be removed in a future release. See ovs-vswitchd(8) for details. - OpenFlow:
* OpenFlow 1.4 bundles are now supported for flow mods and port mods. For flow mods, both \'atomic\' and \'ordered\' bundle flags are trivially supported, as all bundled messages are executed in the order they were added and all flow table modifications are now atomic to the datapath. Port mods may not appear in atomic bundles, as port status modifications are not atomic.
* IPv6 flow label and neighbor discovery fields are now modifiable.
* OpenFlow 1.5 extended registers are now supported.
* The OpenFlow 1.5 actset_output field is now supported.
* OpenFlow 1.5 Copy-Field action is now supported.
* OpenFlow 1.5 masked Set-Field action is now supported.
* OpenFlow 1.3+ table features requests are now supported (read-only).
* Nicira extension \"move\" actions may now be included in action sets.
* \"resubmit\" actions may now be included in action sets. The resubmit is executed last, and only if the action set has no \"output\" or \"group\" action.
* OpenFlow 1.4+ flow \"importance\" is now maintained in the flow table.
* A new Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ allows control over the fields hashed for OpenFlow select groups. See \"selection_method\" and related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for details. - ovs-ofctl has a new \'--bundle\' option that makes the flow mod commands (\'add-flow\', \'add-flows\', \'mod-flows\', \'del-flows\', and \'replace-flows\') use an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle to operate the modifications as a single atomic transaction. If any of the flow mods in a transaction fail, none of them are executed. All flow mods in a bundle appear to datapath lookups simultaneously. - ovs-ofctl \'add-flow\' and \'add-flows\' commands now accept arbitrary flow mods as an input by allowing the flow specification to start with an explicit \'add\', \'modify\', \'modify_strict\', \'delete\', or \'delete_strict\' keyword. A missing keyword is treated as \'add\', so this is fully backwards compatible. With the new \'--bundle\' option all the flow mods are executed as a single atomic transaction using an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle. - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable it in OpenSSL. - ovsdb-server: New OVSDB protocol extension allows inequality tests on \"optional scalar\" columns. See ovsdb-server(1) for details. - ovs-vsctl now permits immutable columns in a new row to be modified in the same transaction that creates the row. - test-controller has been renamed ovs-testcontroller at request of users who find it useful for testing basic OpenFlow setups. It is still not a necessary or desirable part of most Open vSwitch deployments. - Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been added. Build failures are reported to buildAATTopenvswitch.org. See INSTALL.md file for additional details. - Support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D-2004). The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated Network Validation Library (ANVL). - Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface. - Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart. - A simple wrapper script, \'ovs-docker\', to integrate OVS with Docker containers. If and when there is a native integration of Open vSwitch with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired. - Added support for DPDK Tunneling. VXLAN, GRE, and Geneve are supported protocols. This is generic tunneling mechanism for userspace datapath. - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3) - Support for Linux kernels up to 4.0.x - The documentation now use the term \'destination\' to mean one of syslog, console or file for vlog logging instead of the previously used term \'facility\'. - Support for VXLAN Group Policy extension - Initial support for the IETF Auto-Attach SPBM draft standard. This contains rudimentary support for the LLDP protocol as needed for Auto-Attach. - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports are now the IANA-assigned numbers. OpenFlow is 6653 and OVSDB is 6640. - Support for DPDK vHost. - Support for outer UDP checksums in Geneve and VXLAN. - The kernel vports with dependencies are no longer part of the overall openvswitch.ko but built and loaded automatically as individual kernel modules (vport-
*.ko). - Support for STT tunneling. - Support to configure method (--syslog-method argument) that determines how daemons will talk with syslog. - Support for \"ovs-appctl vlog/list-pattern\" command that lets to query logging message format for each destination. - GRE64 and ipsec_gre64 tunnel protocol is deprecated and will be removed from OVS v2.5 release.
* The openvswitch-testcontroller package is new. It reintroduces the simple OpenFlow controller that was packaged with Open vSwitch prior to version 2.1, at request of users who find it useful for testing basic OpenFlow setups. It is still not a necessary or desirable part of most Open vSwitch deployments.- Fixed: log-check-module-loop.patch to work with new version.- Removed: openvswitch-2.3.1.tar.gz- Added: openvswitch-2.4.0.tar.gz- Spec file work and cleanup.
* Sun Jan 10 2016 antoine.belvireAATTlaposte.net- Add calls to /sbin/ldconfig in %post and %postun- Fix typo in Url
* Sun Dec 28 2014 andreaAATTopensuse.org- new upstream version 2.3.1 - Compatibility with autoconf 2.63 (previously >=2.64) - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable it in OpenSSL. - Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
* v2.3.0 - 14 Aug 2014 - OpenFlow 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are now enabled by default in ovs-vswitchd. - Linux kernel datapath now has an exact match cache optimizing the flow matching process. - Datapath flows now have partially wildcarded tranport port field matches. This reduces userspace upcalls, but increases the number of different masks in the datapath. The kernel datapath exact match cache removes the overhead of matching the incoming packets with the larger number of masks, but when paired with an older kernel module, some workloads may perform worse with the new userspace.
* v2.2.0 - Internal Release - Internal ports are no longer brought up by default, because it should be an administrator task to bring up devices as they are configured properly. - ovs-vsctl now reports when ovs-vswitchd fails to create a new port or bridge. - The \"ovsdbmonitor\" graphical tool has been removed, because it was poorly maintained and not widely used. - New \"check-ryu\" Makefile target for running Ryu tests for OpenFlow controllers against Open vSwitch. See INSTALL for details. - Added IPFIX support for SCTP flows and templates for ICMPv4/v6 flows. - Upon the receipt of a SIGHUP signal, ovs-vswitchd no longer reopens its log file (it will terminate instead). Please use \'ovs-appctl vlog/reopen\' instead. - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.14. From Kernel 3.12 onwards OVS uses tunnel API for GRE and VXLAN. - Added experimental DPDK support. - Added support for custom vlog patterns in Python- removed datapath-Add-support-for-Linux-3.12.patch no more required- removed sle11-device-ops-backport.diff , not used before

* Fri May 02 2014 e.istominAATTedss.ee- updated to 2.1.2. This contains bug fixes related to sending packet-in messages to the controller.
* Tue Apr 29 2014 e.istominAATTedss.ee- updated to 2.1.1. This release removes the \"ovsdbmonitor\" program and contains bug fixes.
* Wed Apr 02 2014 kmrozAATTsuse.com- Prevent ovsdb-server from entering an infinite loop when processing logging levels during bringup. added: log-check-module-loop.patch
* Thu Mar 27 2014 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 2.1.0: - Address prefix tracking support for flow tables. New columns \"prefixes\" in OVS-DB table \"Flow_Table\" controls which packet header fields are used for address prefix tracking. Prefix tracking allows the classifier to skip rules with longer than necessary prefixes, resulting in better wildcarding for datapath flows. Default configuration is to not use any fields for prefix tracking. However, if any flow tables contain both exact matches and masked matches for IP address fields, OVS performance may be increased by using this feature.
* As of now, the fields for which prefix lookup can be enabled are: \'tun_id\', \'tun_src\', \'tun_dst\', \'nw_src\', \'nw_dst\' (or aliases \'ip_src\' and \'ip_dst\'), \'ipv6_src\', and \'ipv6_dst\'. (Using this feature for \'tun_id\' would only make sense if the tunnel IDs have prefix structure similar to IP addresses.)
* There is a maximum number of fields that can be enabled for any one flow table. Currently this limit is 3.
* Examples: $ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:0=AATTN1 -- \\ - -id=AATTN1 create Flow_Table name=table0 $ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:1=AATTN1 -- \\ - -id=AATTN1 create Flow_Table name=table1 $ ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table0 prefixes=ip_dst,ip_src $ ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table1 prefixes=[] - TCP flags matching: OVS now supports matching of TCP flags. This has an adverse performance impact when using OVS userspace 1.10 or older (no megaflows support) together with the new OVS kernel module. It is recommended that the kernel and userspace modules both are upgraded at the same time. - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports will change to IANA-assigned numbers in a future release. Consider updating your installations to specify port numbers instead of using the defaults. - OpenFlow:
* The OpenFlow 1.1+ \"Write-Actions\" instruction is now supported.
* OVS limits the OpenFlow port numbers it assigns to port 32767 and below, leaving port numbers above that range free for assignment by the controller.
* ovs-vswitchd now honors changes to the \"ofport_request\" column in the Interface table by changing the port\'s OpenFlow port number. - ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 man page will contain graphviz/dot diagram only if graphviz package was installed at the build time. - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.11 - ovs-dpctl: The \"show\" command also displays mega flow mask stats. - ovs-ofctl:
* New command \"ofp-parse-pcap\" to dump OpenFlow from PCAP files. - ovs-controller has been renamed test-controller. It is no longer packaged or installed by default, because too many users assumed incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or desirable part of an Open vSwitch deployment. - Added vlog option to export to a UDP syslog sink. - ovsdb-client:
* The \"monitor\" command can now monitor all tables in a database, instead of being limited to a single table. - The flow-eviction-threshold has been replaced by the flow-limit which is a hard limit on the number of flows in the datapath. It defaults to 200,000 flows. OVS automatically adjusts this number depending on network conditions.

* Thu Dec 05 2013 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 2.0.0: - The ovs-vswitchd process is no longer single-threaded. Multiple threads are now used to handle flow set up and asynchronous logging. - OpenFlow:
* Experimental support for OpenFlow 1.1 (in addition to 1.2 and 1.3, which had experimental support in 1.10).
* New support for matching outer source and destination IP address of tunneled packets, for tunnel ports configured with the newly added \"remote_ip=flow\" and \"local_ip=flow\" options.
* Support for matching on metadata \'pkt_mark\' for interacting with other system components. On Linux this corresponds to the skb mark.
* Support matching, rewriting SCTP ports - The Interface table in the database has a new \"ifindex\" column to report the interface\'s OS-assigned ifindex. - New \"check-oftest\" Makefile target for running OFTest against Open vSwitch. See README-OFTest for details. - The flow eviction threshold has been moved to the Open_vSwitch table. - Database names are now mandatory when specifying ovsdb-server options through database paths (e.g. Private key option with the database name should look like \"--private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key\"). - Added ovs-dev.py, a utility script helpful for Open vSwitch developers. - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.10 - ovs-ofctl:
* New \"ofp-parse\" for printing OpenFlow messages read from a file. - Added configurable flow caching support to IPFIX exporter. - Dropped support for Linux pre-2.6.32. - Log file timestamps and ovsdb commit timestamps are now reported with millisecond resolution. (Previous versions only reported whole seconds.)
