   A new devarg ``phy_mac`` was introduced to allow users to use physical
   MAC address of the selected PCAP interface.
 
+* **Added TAP Rx/Tx queues sharing with a secondary process.**
+
+  A secondary process can attach a TAP device created in the primary process,
+  probe the queues, and process Rx/Tx in a secondary process.
+
 * **Added classification and metering support to SoftNIC PMD.**
 
   Added support for flow classification (rte_flow API), and metering and
   policing (rte_mtr API) to the SoftNIC PMD.
 
+* **Added Crypto support to Softnic PMD.**
+
+  The Softnic is now capable of processing symmetric crypto workloads such
+  as cipher, cipher-authentication chaining, and aead encryption and
+  decryption. This is achieved by calling DPDK Cryptodev APIs.
+
+* **Added cryptodev port to port library.**
+
+  Cryptodev port is a shim layer in the port library that interacts with DPDK
+  Cryptodev PMDs including burst enqueuing and dequeuing crypto operations.
+
+* **Added symmetric cryptographic actions to the pipeline library.**
+
+  In the pipeline library an added symmetric crypto action parsing and action
+  handler are implemented. The action allows automatically preparing the crypto
+  operation with the rules specified such as algorithm, key, and IV, etc for
+  the cryptodev port to process.
+
 * **Added support for GEN3 devices to Intel QAT driver .**
 
   Added support for the third generation of Intel QuickAssist devices.
