Current Series Release Notes

4.2.1

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug in OfctlService where an exception raised during OpenFlow message serialization (e.g. from an invalid match field value like in_port=None) left the SendMsgRequest hanging indefinitely. The caller now receives an InvalidMessage exception instead of blocking until a timeout fires. See bug 2155883.

4.2.0

New Features

  • Added native threading support for BGP LoopingCall and IOFactory. The appropriate implementation (eventlet or native threading) is now selected automatically based on HUB_TYPE, fixing BGP peer hold time expiration issues when using the native threading backend. See bug 2146526.
