=========================================================
+* **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.
+
+ The library supports two stack implementations: standard (lock-based) and lock-free.
+ The lock-free implementation is currently limited to x86-64 platforms.
+
+* **Added Lock-Free Stack Mempool Handler.**
+
+ Added a new lock-free stack handler, which uses the newly added stack
+ library.
+
+* **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.
+
+* **Added the AF_XDP PMD.**
+
+ Added a Linux-specific PMD driver for AF_XDP, it can create the AF_XDP socket
+ and bind it to a specific netdev queue, it allows a DPDK application to send
+ and receive raw packets through the socket which would bypass the kernel
+ network stack to achieve high performance packet processing.
+
+* **Added a net PMD NFB.**
+
+ Added the new ``nfb`` net driver for Netcope NFB cards. See
+ the :doc:`../nics/nfb` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.
+
* **Updated Solarflare network PMD.**
Updated the sfc_efx driver including the following changes:
* Added support for RSS RETA and hash configuration get API in a secondary
process.
* Added support for Rx packet types list in a secondary process.
+ * Added Tx prepare to do Tx offloads checks.
+ * Added support for VXLAN and GENEVE encapsulated TSO.
* **Updated Mellanox drivers.**
* Added promiscuous mode support.
+* **Updated the ice driver.**
+
+ * Added support of SSE and AVX2 instructions in Rx and Tx paths.
+ * Added package download support.
+ * Added Safe Mode support.
+ * Supported RSS for UPD/TCP/SCTP+IPV4/IPV6 packets.
+
+* **Updated the i40e driver.**
+
+ New features for PF:
+
+ * Added support for VXLAN-GPE packet.
+ * Added support for VXLAN-GPE classification.
+
+* **Updated the QuickAssist Technology PMD.**
+
+ Added support for AES-XTS with 128 and 256 bit AES keys.
+
+* **Updated AESNI-MB PMD.**
+
+ Added support for out-of-place operations.
+
+* **Updated the IPsec library.**
+
+ The IPsec library has been updated with AES-CTR and 3DES-CBC cipher algorithms
+ support. The related ipsec-secgw test scripts have been added.
+
* **Updated the testpmd application.**
Improved testpmd application performance on ARM platform. For ``macswap``

=========================================================
+* eal: the type of the ``attr_value`` parameter of the function
+ ``rte_service_attr_get()`` has been changed
+ from ``uint32_t *`` to ``uint64_t *``.
+
+* meter: replace ``enum rte_meter_color`` in meter library with new
+ ``rte_color`` definition added in 19.02. To consolidate mulitple color
+ definitions replicated at many places such as: rte_mtr.h, rte_tm.h,
+ replacements with rte_color values are done.
+
+* vfio: Functions ``rte_vfio_container_dma_map`` and
+ ``rte_vfio_container_dma_unmap`` have been extended with an option to
+ request mapping or un-mapping to the default vfio container fd.
+
ABI Changes

=========================================================
+* ethdev: Additional fields in rte_eth_dev_info.
+
+ The ``rte_eth_dev_info`` structure has had two extra fields
+ added: ``min_mtu`` and ``max_mtu``. Each of these are of type ``uint16_t``.
+ The values of these fields can be set specifically by the PMD drivers as
+ supported values can vary from device to device.
+
+* cryptodev: in 18.08 new structure ``rte_crypto_asym_op`` was introduced and
+ included into ``rte_crypto_op``. As ``rte_crypto_asym_op`` structure was
+ defined as cache-line aligned that caused unintended changes in
+ ``rte_crypto_op`` structure layout and alignment. Remove cache-line
+ alignment for ``rte_crypto_asym_op`` to restore expected ``rte_crypto_op``
+ layout and alignment.

+* **No software AES-XTS implementation.**
+
+ There are currently no cryptodev software PMDs available which implement
+ support for the AES-XTS algorithm, so this feature can only be used
+ if compatible hardware and an associated PMD is available.
