+* **Added Trace Library and Tracepoints**
+
+  A native implementation of ``common trace format(CTF)`` based trace library
+  has been added to provide the ability to add tracepoints in
+  application/library to get runtime trace/debug information for control and
+  fast APIs with minimum impact on fast path performance.
+  Typical trace overhead is ~20 cycles and instrumentation overhead is 1 cycle.
+  Added tracepoints in ``EAL``, ``ethdev``, ``cryptodev``, ``eventdev`` and
+  ``mempool`` libraries for important functions.

+* **Added QAT intermediate buffer too small handling in QAT compression PMD.**
+
+  Added a special way of buffer handling when internal QAT intermediate buffer
+  is too small for Huffman dynamic compression operation. Instead of falling
+  back to fixed compression, the operation is now split into multiple smaller
+  dynamic compression requests (possible to execute on QAT) and their results
+  are then combined and copied into the output buffer. This is not possible if
+  any checksum calculation was requested - in such case the code falls back to
+  fixed compression as before.
