+* **Added Stack API.**
+
+  Added a new stack API for configuration and use of a bounded stack of
+  pointers. The API provides MT-safe push and pop operations that can operate
+  on one or more pointers per operation.
+
+* **Updated KNI module and PMD.**
+
+  Updated the KNI kernel module to set the max_mtu according to the given
+  initial MTU size. Without it, the maximum MTU was 1500.
+
+  Updated the KNI PMD driver to set the mbuf_size and MTU based on
+  the given mb-pool. This provide the ability to pass jumbo frames
+  if the mb-pool contains suitable buffers' size.

 * **Updated Solarflare network PMD.**
