    * New upstream version
+    - 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.

       * 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.
