=========================================================
+* **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
+ ingress or egress traffic, alter its behavior and query related counters
+ according to any number of user-defined rules.
+
+ * Generic flow API support for Ethernet, IPv4, UDP, TCP and
+ RAW pattern items with QUEUE actions. There are four
+ type of filter support for this feature on igb.
+
* **Added Generic Flow API support to enic.**
Flow API support for outer Ethernet, VLAN, IPv4, IPv6, UDP, TCP, SCTP, VxLAN
and inner Ethernet, VLAN, IPv4, IPv6, UDP and TCP pattern items with QUEUE,
MARK, FLAG and VOID actions for ingress traffic.
+* **Added support for Chelsio T6 family of adapters**
+
+ CXGBE PMD updated to run Chelsio T6 family of adapters.
+
+* **Added latency and performance improvements for cxgbe**
+
+ TX and RX path reworked to improve performance. Also reduced latency
+ for slow traffic.
+
+* **Updated bnxt PMD.**
+
+ Major enhancements include:
+ * Support MTU modification.
+ * Support LRO.
+ * Support VLAN filter and strip functionality.
+ * Other enhancements to add support for more dev_ops.
+ * Add PMD specific APIs mainly to control VF from PF.
+ * Update HWRM version to 1.7.7
+
+* **Added support for Rx interrupts on mlx4 driver.**
+
+ Rx queues can be armed with an interrupt which will trigger on the
+ next packet arrival.
+
+* **Updated szedata2 PMD.**
+
+ Added support for firmwares with multiple Ethernet ports per physical port.
+
+* **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.
+
+* **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.

+ 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``.
