I guess the announcement below will certainly interest the NOX-dev community, as it includes a fork of NOX Zaku with a version 1.2 oflib and two sample applications that use the new v1.2 APIs.

The open-source software kit is the first comprehensive OpenFlow version 1.2 environment to let the research community put their software-defined networking (SDN) thoughts in practice. The switch implementation prioritizes OpenFlow 1.2 feature compliance and overall correctness. To this end, the kit also includes an OpenFlow version 1.2 Wireshark plug-in to analyze the protocol traffic, and test cases based on the OpenFlow Test (OFTest) framework. Altogether, users can experiment, for instance, with IPv6 traffic and the newly introduced OpenFlow Extensible Match (OXM) flow format. The release includes also the first OpenFlow version 1.2 controller based on the popular NOX controller. User-friendly APIs are present to aid controller application developers in defining flow fields and actions without requiring them to deal with TLV-based OXM fields. The learning switch and hub applications have been ported as the first v1.2 sample applications. To ease the hands-on approach to the tool kit, a fully pre-configured VM has been put together, which includes all the components mentioned above in addition to the Mininet emulation environment to experiment with larger OpenFlow version 1.2 networks. A companion tutorial is under ongoing development: https://github.com/CPqD/OpenFlow-1.2-Tutorial The project welcomes users and contributors to get involved! The team is moving now to implement v1.3, while will maintain v1.2 and hopefully count with contributions from the community.
