   changed from 8 bits to 16 bits in order to support more than 256 ports in
   DPDK. All APIs which have port_id parameter will be changed at the same time.
 
-* librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
-  that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
-  The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
-  (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
-  and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.
+* ethdev: An ABI change is planned for 17.11 for the structure rte_eth_dev_data.
+  The size of the unique name will increase RTE_ETH_NAME_MAX_LEN from 32 to
+  64 characters to allow using a globally unique identifier (GUID) in this field.
+
+* ethdev: new parameters - ``rte_security_capabilities`` and
+  ``rte_security_ops`` will be added to ``rte_eth_dev_info`` and
+  ``rte_eth_dev`` respectively  to support security operations like
+  ipsec inline.
+
+* cryptodev: new parameters - ``rte_security_capabilities`` and
+  ``rte_security_ops`` will be added to ``rte_cryptodev_info`` and
+  ``rte_cryptodev`` respectively to support security protocol offloaded
+  operations.
 
 * cryptodev: the following function is deprecated starting from 17.08 and will
   be removed in 17.11:
 
   - ``rte_cryptodev_create_vdev``
+
+* cryptodev: the following function will be static in 17.11 and included
+  by all crypto drivers, therefore, will not be public:
+
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_vdev_pmd_init``
+
+* cryptodev: the following function will have an extra parameter, passing a
+  statically allocated crypto driver structure, instead of calling malloc,
+  in 17.11:
+
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_allocate_driver``
+
+* librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
+  that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
+  The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
+  (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
+  and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.
