+* **Reorganized the symmetric crypto operation structure.**
+
+ The crypto operation (``rte_crypto_sym_op``) has been reorganized as follows:
+
+ * Removed field ``rte_crypto_sym_op_sess_type``.
+ * Replaced pointer and physical address of IV with offset from the start
+ of the crypto operation.
+ * Moved length and offset of cipher IV to ``rte_crypto_cipher_xform``.
+ * Removed Additional Authentication Data (AAD) length.
+ * Removed digest length.
+ * Removed AAD pointer and physical address from ``auth`` structure.
+ * Added ``aead`` structure, containing parameters for AEAD algorithms.
+
+* **Reorganized the crypto operation structure.**
+
+ The crypto operation (``rte_crypto_op``) has been reorganized as follows:
+
+ * Added field ``rte_crypto_op_sess_type``.
+ * Enumerations ``rte_crypto_op_status`` and ``rte_crypto_op_type``
+ have been modified to be uint8_t values.
+ * Removed the field ``opaque_data``.
+ * Pointer to ``rte_crypto_sym_op`` has been replaced with a zero length array.
+
+* **Reorganized the crypto symmetric session structure.**
+
+ The crypto symmetric session structure (``rte_cryptodev_sym_session``) has
+ been reorganized as follows:
+
+ * ``dev_id`` field has been removed.
+ * ``driver_id`` field has been removed.
+ * Mempool pointer ``mp`` has been removed.
+ * Replaced ``private`` marker with array of pointers to private data sessions
+ ``sess_private_data``.
+
+* **Updated cryptodev library.**
+
+ * Added AEAD algorithm specific functions and structures, so it is not
+ necessary to use a combination of cipher and authentication
+ structures anymore.
+ * Added helper functions for crypto device driver identification.
+ * Added support for multi-device sessions, so a single session can be
+ used in multiple drivers.
+ * Added functions to initialize and free individual driver private data
+ with a same session.
+
+* **Updated dpaa2_sec crypto PMD.**
+
+ Added support for AES-GCM and AES-CTR
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+ The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+ * 12-byte IV on AES Counter Mode, apart from the previous 16-byte IV.
+
+* **Updated the AES-NI GCM PMD.**
+
+ The AES-NI GCM PMD was migrated from the ISA-L library to the Multi Buffer
+ library, as the latter library has Scatter Gather List support
+ now. The migration entailed adding additional support for:
+
+ * 192-bit key.
+
+* **Updated the Cryptodev Scheduler PMD.**
+
+ Added a multicore based distribution mode, which distributes the enqueued
+ crypto operations among several slaves, running on different logical cores.
