+   - 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.
+   - ovs-ofctl:
+     * New "out_group" keyword for OpenFlow 1.1+ matching on output group.
+   - 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.
+   - 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
+   - Dropped support for GRE64 tunnel.
+   - 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.
