+Mininet 2.1.0 provides a number of bug fixes as well as a
+number of new features, including:
 
-* "Mininet-HiFi" functionality:
+* Convenient access to Mininet() as a dict
+* X11 tunneling (wireshark in Mininet hosts!)
+* Accurate reflection of the Mininet() object in the CLI
+* Automatically detecting and adjusting resource limits
+* Automatic cleanup on failure of the `mn` command
+* Support for running OVS in user space mode
+* Preliminary support for the Indigo Virtual Switch (IVSSwitch)
+* The ability to import examples as modules
 
-    * Link bandwidth limits using `tc` (`TCIntf` and `TCLink` classes)
+We have provided several new examples which can also be
+imported to provide useful functionality, including:
 
-    * CPU isolation and bandwidth limits (`CPULimitedHost` class)
+* A simple NAT script to attach Mininet networks to your LAN
+* An example of modeling control and data networks
+* An example of per-host custom directories using bind mounts
 
-* Support for Open vSwitch 1.4+ (including Ubuntu OVS packages)
-
-* Debian packaging (and `apt-get install mininet` in Ubuntu 12.10)
-
-* First-class Interface (`Intf`) and Link (`Link`) classes for easier
-  extensibility
-
-* An upgraded Topology (`Topo`) class which supports node and link
-  customization
-
-* Man pages for the `mn` and `mnexec` utilities.
-
-[Since the API (most notably the topology) has changed, existing code
-that runs in Mininet 1.0 will need to be changed to run with Mininet
-2.0. This is the primary reason for the major version number change.]
+Note that these are experimental features which may "graduate"
+into mainline Mininet in the future, so they should not be
+considered a stable part of the Mininet API!
