+* **Added hairpin queue.**
+
+  On supported NICs, we can now setup haipin queue which will offload packets
+  from the wire, backto the wire.
+
+* **Added flow tag in rte_flow.**
+
+  SET_TAG action and TAG item have been added to support transient flow tag.
+
+* **Extended metadata support in rte_flow.**
+
+  Flow metadata is extended to both Rx and Tx.
+
+  * Tx metadata can also be set by SET_META action of rte_flow.
+  * Rx metadata is delivered to host via a dynamic field of ``rte_mbuf`` with
+    PKT_RX_DYNF_METADATA.

 * **Updated the enic driver.**
 
   * Added support for Geneve with options offload.

+* ethdev: The deprecated function ``rte_eth_dev_count`` was removed.
+  The function ``rte_eth_dev_count_avail`` is a drop-in replacement.
+  If the intent is to iterate over ports, ``RTE_ETH_FOREACH_*`` macros
+  are better port iterators.
+
+* ethdev: RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_META data endianness altered to host one.
+  Due to the new dynamic metadata field in mbuf is host-endian either, there
+  is the minor compatibility issue for applications in case of 32-bit values
+  supported.
+
+* ethdev: the tx_metadata mbuf field is moved to dymanic one.
+  PKT_TX_METADATA flag is replaced with PKT_TX_DYNF_METADATA.
+  DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MATCH_METADATA offload flag is removed, now metadata
+  support in PMD is engaged on dynamic field registration.
