profiles which can be programmed by dynamic device personalization (DDP)
process.
+* **Updated mlx5 driver.**
+
+ Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
+
+ * Enabled compilation as a plugin, thus removed the mandatory dependency with rdma-core.
+ With the special compilation, the rdma-core libraries will be loaded only in case
+ Mellanox device is being used. For binaries creation the PMD can be enabled, still not
+ requiring from every end user to install rdma-core.
+ * Improved multi-segment packet performance.
+ * Changed driver name to use the PCI address to be compatible with OVS-DPDK APIs.
+ * Extended statistics for physical port packet/byte counters.
+ * Converted to the new offloads API.
+ * Supported device removal check operation.
+
+* **Updated mlx4 driver.**
+
+ Updated the mlx4 driver including the following changes:
+
+ * Enabled compilation as a plugin, thus removed the mandatory dependency with rdma-core.
+ With the special compilation, the rdma-core libraries will be loaded only in case
+ Mellanox device is being used. For binaries creation the PMD can be enabled, still not
+ requiring from every end user to install rdma-core.
+ * Improved data path performance.
+ * Converted to the new offloads API.
+ * Supported device removal check operation.
+
* **Added NVGRE and UDP tunnels support in Solarflare network PMD.**
Added support for NVGRE, VXLAN and GENEVE tunnels.
* Rx/Tx descriptor status
* Link status update/event
+* **Add feature supports for live migration from vhost-net to vhost-user.**
+
+ To make live migration from vhost-net to vhost-user possible, added
+ feature supports for vhost-user. The features include:
+
+ * VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT
+ * VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX
+ * VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ECN, VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_ECN
+ * VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_UFO, VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_UFO
+ * VIRTIO_NET_F_GSO
+
* **Updated the AESNI-MB PMD.**
The AESNI-MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
renamed the application from SW PMD specific ``eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd``
to PMD agnostic ``eventdev_pipeline``.
+* **Added Rawdev, a generic device support library.**
+
+ Rawdev library provides support for integrating any generic device type with
+ DPDK framework. Generic devices are those which do not have a pre-defined
+ type within DPDK, for example, ethernet, crypto, event etc.
+ A set of northbound APIs have been defined which encompass a generic set of
+ operations by allowing applications to interact with device using opaque
+ structures/buffers. Also, southbound APIs provide APIs for integrating device
+ either as as part of a physical bus (PCI, FSLMC etc) or through ``vdev``.
+
+ See the :doc:`../prog_guide/rawdev` programmer's guide for more details.
+
+* **Added new multi-process communication channel**
+
+ Added a generic channel in EAL for multi-process (primary/secondary) communication.
+ Consumers of this channel need to register an action with an action name to response
+ a message received; the actions will be identified by the action name and executed
+ in the context of a new dedicated thread for this channel. The list of new APIs:
+
+ * ``rte_mp_register`` and ``rte_mp_unregister`` are for action (un)registration.
+ * ``rte_mp_sendmsg`` is for sending a message without blocking for a response.
+ * ``rte_mp_request`` is for sending a request message and will block until
+ it gets a reply message which is sent from the peer by ``rte_mp_reply``.
+
+* **Add GRO support for VxLAN-tunneled packets.**
+
+ Add GRO support for VxLAN-tunneled packets. Supported VxLAN packets
+ must contain an outer IPv4 header and inner TCP/IPv4 headers. VxLAN
+ GRO doesn't check if input packets have correct checksums and doesn't
+ update checksums for output packets. Additionally, it assumes the
+ packets are complete (i.e., MF==0 && frag_off==0), when IP
+ fragmentation is possible (i.e., DF==0).
+
+* **Increased default Rx and Tx ring size in sample applications.**
+
+ Increased the default ``RX_RING_SIZE`` and ``TX_RING_SIZE`` to 1024 entries
+ in testpmd and the sample applications to give better performance in the
+ general case. The user should experiment with various Rx and Tx ring sizes
+ for their specific application to get best performance.
+
+* **Added new DPDK build system using the tools "meson" and "ninja" [EXPERIMENTAL]**
+
+ Added in support for building DPDK using ``meson`` and ``ninja``, which gives
+ additional features, such as automatic build-time configuration, over the
+ current build system using ``make``. For instructions on how to do a DPDK build
+ using the new system, see the instructions in ``doc/build-sdk-meson.txt``.
+
+.. note::
+
+ This new build system support is incomplete at this point and is added
+ as experimental in this release. The existing build system using ``make``
+ is unaffected by these changes, and can continue to be used for this
+ and subsequent releases until such time as it's deprecation is announced.
