8 The Controller project is an infrastructure service that supports other OpenDaylight projects.
9 It does not have user-facing features.
12 Behavior/Feature Changes
13 ========================
14 The default configuration of the Distributed Datastore has been changed to take advantage
15 of the ``tell-based protocol`` which has been long in the works. This prevents the dreaded
16 ``AskTimeoutException`` from being reported to applications. It also has much more modest
17 requirements on native memory when coupled with Akka Artery.
19 The ``ask-based protocol`` remains a configurable option and will remain for at least one
20 release, but its use should be avoided unless necessary.
24 There are no new features.
26 Deprecated and Removed Features
