=========================================================
+* **Added new armv8 machine targets:**
+
+ * BlueField (Mellanox)
+ * OcteonTX2 (Marvell)
+ * ThunderX2 (Marvell)
+
+* **Introduced Windows Support.**
+
+ Added Windows support to build Hello World sample application.
+
* **Added Stack API.**
Added a new stack API for configuration and use of a bounded stack of
Added a new lock-free stack handler, which uses the newly added stack
library.
+* **Added RCU library.**
+
+ Added RCU library supporting quiescent state based memory reclamation method.
+ This library helps identify the quiescent state of the reader threads so
+ that the writers can free the memory associated with the lock free data
+ structures.
+
* **Updated KNI module and PMD.**
Updated the KNI kernel module to set the max_mtu according to the given
Added the new ``nfb`` net driver for Netcope NFB cards. See
the :doc:`../nics/nfb` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.
+* **Added IPN3KE net PMD.**
+
+ Added the new ``ipn3ke`` net driver for Intel® FPGA PAC(Programmable
+ Acceleration Card) N3000. See the :doc:`../nics/ipn3ke` NIC guide for more
+ details on this new driver.
+
+ Aside from this, ifpga_rawdev is also updated to support Intel® FPGA PAC
+ N3000 with SPI interface access, I2C Read/Write and Ethernet PHY configuration.
+
* **Updated Solarflare network PMD.**
Updated the sfc_efx driver including the following changes:
* Added support for VXLAN-GPE packet.
* Added support for VXLAN-GPE classification.
-* **Updated the QuickAssist Technology PMD.**
+* **Updated the ENETC driver.**
+
+ New features:
+
+ * Added physical addressing mode support
+ * Added SXGMII interface support
+ * Added basic statistics support
+ * Added promiscuous and allmulticast mode support
+ * Added MTU update support
+ * Added jumbo frame support
+ * Added queue start/stop
+ * Added CRC offload support
+ * Added Rx checksum offload validation support
+
+* **Updated the atlantic PMD.**
+
+ Added MACSEC hardware offload experimental API.
+
+* **Updated the Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) compression PMD.**
+
+ Simplified and made more robust QAT compressdev PMD's handling of SGLs with
+ more than 16 segments.
+
+* **Updated the QuickAssist Technology (QAT) symmetric crypto PMD.**
Added support for AES-XTS with 128 and 256 bit AES keys.
+* **Added Intel QuickAssist Technology PMD for asymmetric crypto.**
+
+ A new QAT Crypto PMD has been added, which provides asymmetric cryptography
+ algorithms, in this release modular exponentiation and modular multiplicative
+ inverse algorithms were added.
+
* **Updated AESNI-MB PMD.**
Added support for out-of-place operations.
Improved testpmd application performance on ARM platform. For ``macswap``
forwarding mode, NEON intrinsics were used to do swap to save CPU cycles.
+* **Updated power management library.**
+
+ Added support for Intel Speed Select Technology - Base Frequency (SST-BF).
+ ``rte_power_get_capabilities`` now has a bit in it's returned mask
+ indicating it's a high frequency core.
+
+* **Updated distributor sample application.**
+
+ Added support for Intel SST-BF feature so that the distributor core is
+ pinned to a high frequency core if available.
+
Removed Items
-------------
``rte_vfio_container_dma_unmap`` have been extended with an option to
request mapping or un-mapping to the default vfio container fd.
+* power: ``rte_power_set_env`` and ``rte_power_unset_env`` functions
+ have been modified to be thread safe.
+
+* timer: Functions have been introduced that allow multiple instances of the
+ timer lists to be created, and they are now allocated in shared memory. New
+ functions allow particular timer lists to be selected when timers are being
+ started, stopped, and managed.
+
ABI Changes
-----------
alignment for ``rte_crypto_asym_op`` to restore expected ``rte_crypto_op``
layout and alignment.
+* timer: ``rte_timer_subsystem_init`` now returns success or failure to reflect
+ whether it was able to allocate memory.
+
