Do we need a NEWS update for this change?
18.11.1 should not have any user-visible changes from the OVS
point of view, however upcoming 18.11.2 will have in case we'll
merge vhost destroy_connection related patch. The questions are:
Are we going to add stable release updates to NEWS?
We can, if people think it's of use. It's now mentioned in the release
notes of 18.11.1 that OVS DPDK was validated, so adding an entry into
NEWS for the next OVS dot release could help push users to use the
correct DPDK to OVS release mapping. To date we still see users on
xx.yy.0 LTS releases which I'd like to encourage to move on.
Do we need to mention stable releases that has no direct impact
on OVS itself?
If it has no impact then we can just add an item into NEWS saying it's
been validated and is supported. If there is a known impact then we
should detail the nature of that impact, typically NEWS has an entry of
'various bug fixes' or something to that effect, are you thinking we
should provide specifics of the bug fix that affects users as part of
NEWS from now on? I don't see the harm once we are aware of it.
