+* **Added Trace Library and Tracepoints**
+
+  A native implementation of ``common trace format(CTF)`` based trace library
+  has been added to provide the ability to add tracepoints in
+  application/library to get runtime trace/debug information for control and
+  fast APIs with minimum impact on fast path performance.
+  Typical trace overhead is ~20 cycles and instrumentation overhead is 1 cycle.
+  Added tracepoints in ``EAL``, ``ethdev``, ``cryptodev``, ``eventdev`` and
+  ``mempool`` libraries for important functions.

   when running on GEN2 QAT hardware with particular firmware versions

+* **Added plain SHA-1,224,256,384,512 support to QAT PMD.**
+
+  Added support for plain SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hashes
+  to QAT PMD.
+
+* **Added QAT intermediate buffer too small handling in QAT compression PMD.**
+
+  Added a special way of buffer handling when internal QAT intermediate buffer
+  is too small for Huffman dynamic compression operation. Instead of falling
+  back to fixed compression, the operation is now split into multiple smaller
+  dynamic compression requests (possible to execute on QAT) and their results
+  are then combined and copied into the output buffer. This is not possible if
+  any checksum calculation was requested - in such case the code falls back to
+  fixed compression as before.
+
 * **Updated the turbo_sw bbdev PMD.**
 
   Supported large size code blocks which does not fit in one mbuf segment.
 
+* **Added Intel FPGA_5GNR_FEC bbdev PMD.**
+
+  Added a new ``fpga_5gnr_fec`` bbdev driver for the Intel\ |reg| FPGA PAC
+  (Programmable  Acceleration Card) N3000.  See the
+  :doc:`../bbdevs/fpga_5gnr_fec` BBDEV guide for more details on this new driver.
