+* **Added new driver for Broadcom NetXtreme-C devices.**
+
+ Added the new bnxt driver for Broadcom NetXtreme-C devices. See the
+ "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details on this
+ new driver.
+
+* **Added new driver for ThunderX nicvf device.**
+
+* **Added mailbox interrupt support for ixgbe and igb VFs.**
+
+ When the physical NIC link comes up or down, the PF driver will send a
+ mailbox message to notify each VF. To handle this link up/down event,
+ support have been added for a mailbox interrupt to receive the message and
+ allow the application to register a callback for it.
+
+* **Updated the ixgbe base driver.**
+
+ The ixgbe base driver was updated with changes including the
+ following:
+
+ * Added sgmii link for X550.
+ * Added MAC link setup for X550a SFP and SFP+.
+ * Added KR support for X550em_a.
+ * Added new PHY definitions for M88E1500.
+ * Added support for the VLVF to be bypassed when adding/removing a VFTA entry.
+ * Added X550a flow control auto negotiation support.
+
+* **Updated the i40e base driver.**
+
+ Updated the i40e base driver including support for new devices IDs.
+
+* **Updated the enic driver.**
+
+ The enic driver was updated with changes including the following:
+
+ * Optimized the Tx function.
+ * Added Scattered Rx capability.
+ * Improved packet type identification.
+ * Added MTU update in non Scattered Rx mode and enabled MTU of up to 9208
+ with UCS Software release 2.2 on 1300 series VICs.
+
+* **Added support for virtio on IBM POWER8.**
+
+ The ioports are mapped in memory when using Linux UIO.
+
+* **Added support for Virtio in containers.**
+
+ Add a new virtual device, named virtio_user, to support virtio for containers.
+
+ Known limitations:
+
+ * Control queue and multi-queue are not supported yet.
+ * Doesn't work with ``--huge-unlink``.
+ * Doesn't work with ``--no-huge``.
+ * Doesn't work when there are more than ``VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS(8)`` hugepages.
+ * Root privilege is required for sorting hugepages by physical address.
+ * Can only be used with the vhost user backend.
+
+* **Added vhost-user client mode.**
+
+ DPDK vhost-user now supports client mode as well as server mode. Client mode
+ is enabled when the ``RTE_VHOST_USER_CLIENT`` flag is set while calling
+ ``rte_vhost_driver_register``.
+
+ When DPDK vhost-user restarts from an normal or abnormal exit (such as a
+ crash), the client mode allows DPDK to establish the connection again. Note
+ that QEMU version v2.7 or above is required for this feature.
+
+ DPDK vhost-user will also try to reconnect by default when:
+
+ * The first connect fails (when QEMU is not started yet).
+ * The connection is broken (when QEMU restarts).
+
+ It can be turned off by setting the ``RTE_VHOST_USER_NO_RECONNECT`` flag.
+
+* **Added NSH packet recognition in i40e.**
