=========================================================
+* **Added Service Core functionality.**
+
+ The service core functionality added to EAL allows DPDK to run services such
+ as SW PMDs on lcores without the application manually running them. The
+ service core infrastructure allows flexibility of running multiple services
+ on the same service lcore, and provides the application with powerful APIs to
+ configure the mapping from service lcores to services.
+
+* **Added Generic Receive Offload API.**
+
+ Generic Receive Offload (GRO) API supports to reassemble TCP/IPv4
+ packets. GRO API assumes all inputted packets are with correct
+ checksums. GRO API doesn't update checksums for merged packets. If
+ inputted packets are IP fragmented, GRO API assumes they are complete
+ packets (i.e. with L4 headers).
+
* **Added support for generic flow API (rte_flow) on igb NIC.**
This API provides a generic means to configure hardware to match specific
Added support for firmwares with multiple Ethernet ports per physical port.
+* **Updated dpaa2 PMD.**
+
+ Major enhancements include:
+ * Support MAC Filter configuration
+ * Support Segmented Buffers
+ * Support VLAN filter and strip functionality.
+ * Other enhancements to add support for more dev_ops.
+ * Optimized the packet receive path
+
* **Reorganized the symmetric crypto operation structure.**
The crypto operation (``rte_crypto_sym_op``) has been reorganized as follows:
* 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 a multicore based distribution mode, which distributes the enqueued
crypto operations among several slaves, running on different logical cores.
+* **Added NXP DPAA2 Eventdev PMD.**
+
+ Added the new dpaa2 eventdev driver for NXP DPAA2 devices. See the
+ "Event Device Drivers" document for more details on this new driver.
+
+* **Added dpdk-test-eventdev test application.**
+
+ The dpdk-test-eventdev tool is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application
+ that allows exercising various eventdev use cases.
+ This application has a generic framework to add new eventdev based test cases
+ to verify functionality and measure the performance parameters of DPDK
+ eventdev devices.

Resolved Issues
---------------

=========================================================
+* **Modified the _rte_eth_dev_callback_process function in the ethdev library.**
+
+ The function ``_rte_eth_dev_callback_process()`` has been modified. The return
+ value has been changed from void to int and an extra parameter ``void *ret_param``
+ has been added.
+
+* **Moved bypass functions from the rte_ethdev library to ixgbe PMD**
+
+ * The following rte_ethdev library functions were removed:
+
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_show``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_store``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_init``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_state_set``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_state_show``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_ver_show``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_wd_reset``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_wd_timeout_show``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_wd_timeout_store``
+
+ * The following ixgbe PMD functions were added:
+
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_event_show``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_event_store``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_init``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_state_set``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_state_show``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_ver_show``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_reset``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_timeout_show``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_timeout_store``
+
* **Reworked rte_cryptodev library.**
The rte_cryptodev library has been reworked and updated. The following changes
These names are not public anymore.
* ``rte_cryptodev_configure()`` does not create the session mempool
for the device anymore.
+ * ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session()`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_dettach_sym_session()`` functions require
+ the new parameter ``device id``.
+ * Modified parameters of ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create()``, to accept
+ ``mempool``, instead of ``device id`` and ``rte_crypto_sym_xform``.
+ * Remove ``device id`` parameter from ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_free()``.
+ * Added new field ``session_pool`` to ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_setup()``.
+ * Removed ``aad_size`` parameter from ``rte_cryptodev_sym_capability_check_auth()``.
+ * Added ``iv_size`` parameter to ``rte_cryptodev_sym_capability_check_auth()``.
+ * Removed ``RTE_CRYPTO_OP_STATUS_ENQUEUED`` from enum ``rte_crypto_op_status``.

- structures.
+ ``rte_cryptodev_info`` and ``rte_cryptodev`` structures.
