This document provides release notes for OpenDaylight Beryllium. It lists several projects included in this release, such as AAA, Controller, MD-SAL, NETCONF, OpenFlowPlugin, and OVSDB. It summarizes new features for some of these projects, including separating NETCONF into its own project, improved YANG tools, entity ownership service for MD-SAL, OpenFlow clustering, and increased OVSDB code coverage and Neutron integration. It also lists enhancements for BGP LS PCEP such as new protocols supported.

7. Controller
► Only performance improvements, bug fixes and code splits in this release
► Move NETCONF, RESTCONF and MD-SAL into its own projects
► YANG Tools improvements comes to controller too
 Configuration Data Stores now enforces config true

8. YANG Tools
► Better alignment with RFC6020
 Mandatory elements, proper case exclusion, element count in lists
 Creates and removes non-presence containers automatically
► Code improvements
 Rewritten YANG parser and compiler
 New YIN parser
 MERGE operation has been reworked to be much more CPU and memory efficient.
► Code cleanup (Runtime code moved to MD-SAL)

9. MD-SAL Clustered Datastore
► Entity Ownership Service (Also ported back to Lithium)
► Ability to add/remove shards dynamically. This work is not fully tested so
not ready for production.
► Capability to Backup/Restore using snapshot

10. NETCONF
► Separated out from controller to make its own project.
► RESTCONF included here
► Ability to configure NETCONF connectors through MD-SAL, instead of the
existing config subsystem method
 odl-netconf-topology
 odl-netconf-clustered-topology

11. AAA
► Apache Shiro Framework Included (odl-aaa-shiro - Installs all supported
AAA features)
► Shiro based authorization added (URL filtering)
► LDAP integration with and without RBAC
► TokenAuthRealm added for backwards compatibility
► Enhanced Logging added
► Experimental MD-SAL store was added, but disabled by default due to
unresolved configuration subsystem issues.

12. OpenFlowPlugin
► Two designs for plugin
 Helium design and Lithium design
 (Helium design is deprecated)
► OpenFlow Clustering using the entity ownership service
► Improved reconciliation to ensure sync between control and data plane
► Updating the inventory information about table features

13. OVSDB
► Increased code and testing coverage
► Improved network virtualization integration with OpenStack
 Netvirt updates for flow optimizations and config migration
 ODL SFC and OPNFV SFC integration, application pipeline coexistence
 Increased Neutron parity by adding Security Groups and Metadata support
 Enhanced L3 DVR functionality
► Southbound improvements
 Hardware VTEP support
 Open_vSwitch support for QoS and Queue
 DPDK enhancements
► Clustering/HA/Persistence support
► odl-ovsdb-ui

14. BGP LS PCEP
► BMP:
 BGP Monitoring Protocol (new ODL SB plugin)
► BGP:
 Carrying Label Information in BGP-4
 BGP Link-State extensions for Segment Routing
 Segment Routing Egress Peer Engineering BGP-LS Extensions
 Distribution of MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) LSP State using BGP
 Dissemination of Flow Specification Rules for IPv6
