=========================================================
+* **Added non-EAL threads registration API.**
+
+ Added a new API to register non-EAL threads as lcores. This can be used by
+ applications to have its threads known of DPDK without suffering from the
+ non-EAL previous limitations in terms of performance.
+
+* **rte_*mb APIs are updated to use DMB instruction for ARMv8.**
+
+ ARMv8 memory model has been strengthened to require other-multi-copy
+ atomicity. This allows for using DMB instruction instead of DSB for IO
+ barriers. rte_*mb APIs, for ARMv8 platforms, are changed to use DMB
+ instruction to reflect this.
+
+* **Added the support for vfio-pci new VF token interface.**
+
+ From Linux 5.7, vfio-pci supports to bind both SR-IOV PF and the created VFs,
+ it uses a shared VF token (UUID) to represent the collaboration between PF
+ and VFs. Update DPDK PCI driver to gain the access to the PF and VFs devices
+ by appending the VF token parameter.
+
+* **Added the RegEx Library, a generic RegEx service library.**
+
+ Added the RegEx library which provides an API for offload of regular
+ expressions search operations to hardware or software accelerator devices.
+
+* **Updated PCAP driver.**
+
+ Updated PCAP driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+ * Support software Tx nanosecond timestamps precision.
+
+* **Updated Mellanox mlx5 driver.**
+
+ Updated Mellanox mlx5 driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+ * Added new PMD devarg ``reclaim_mem_mode``.
+ * Added new devarg ``lacp_by_user``.
+
+* **Added vDPA device APIs to query virtio queue statistics.**
+
+ A new 3 APIs has been added to query virtio queue statistics, to get their
+ names and to reset them by a vDPA device.
+
+* **Updated Mellanox mlx5 vDPA driver.**
+
+ Updated Mellanox mlx5 vDPA driver with new features, including:
+
+ * Added support for virtio queue statistics.
+ * Added support for MTU update.
+
+* **Updated Marvell octeontx2 ethdev PMD.**
+
+ Updated Marvell octeontx2 driver with cn98xx support.
+
+* **Updated the Intel ice driver.**
+
+ Updated the Intel ice driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+ * Added support for DCF datapath configuration.
+
+* **Added support for BPF_ABS/BPF_IND load instructions.**
+
+ Added support for two BPF non-generic instructions:
+ ``(BPF_ABS | <size> | BPF_LD)`` and ``(BPF_IND | <size> | BPF_LD)``
+ which are used to access packet data in a safe manner. Currently JIT support
+ for these instructions is implemented for x86 only.
+
+* **Added flow performance test application.**
+
+ Added new application to test ``rte_flow`` performance, including:
+
+ * Measure ``rte_flow`` insertion rate.
+ * Measure ``rte_flow`` deletion rate.
+ * Dump ``rte_flow`` memory consumption.
+ * Measure packet per second forwarding.
+
+* **Added --portmap command line parameter to l2fwd example.**
+
+ Added new command line option ``--portmap="(port, port)[,(port, port)]"`` to
+ pass forwarding port details.
+ See the :doc:`../sample_app_ug/l2_forward_real_virtual` for more
+ details of this parameter usage.
