+
+  * Added option to build the driver with or without dependency of external

+* cryptodev: New member in ``rte_cryptodev_config`` to allow applications to
+  disable features supported by the crypto device. Only the following features
+  would be allowed to be disabled this way,
+
+  - ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_SYMMETRIC_CRYPTO``
+  - ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_ASYMMETRIC_CRYPTO``

+
+* bbdev: New operations and parameters added to support new 5GNR operations.
+  The bbdev ABI is still kept experimental.
