Thanks.
How about this, for NEWS:
- Backward-incompatible changes:
- Earlier Open vSwitch versions treated ANY as a wildcard in flow
syntax. OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
conflict. ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
Thanks,
Ben.
