DPDK Release 21.02
==================
-.. **Read this first.**
+.. note::
- The text in the sections below explains how to update the release notes.
+ A **dependency** has been added for building DPDK on Linux or FreeBSD:
+ the Python module **pyelftools** (version **0.22** or greater),
+ often packaged as python3-pyelftools, is required.
- Use proper spelling, capitalization and punctuation in all sections.
+ If not available as a distribution package, it can be installed with::
- Variable and config names should be quoted as fixed width text:
- ``LIKE_THIS``.
-
- Build the docs and view the output file to ensure the changes are correct::
-
- make doc-guides-html
- xdg-open build/doc/html/guides/rel_notes/release_21_02.html
+ pip3 install pyelftools
New Features
------------
-.. This section should contain new features added in this release.
- Sample format:
-
- * **Add a title in the past tense with a full stop.**

-
- * sample: Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the API change
- which was announced in the previous releases and made in this release.

+* The experimental function ``rte_telemetry_init`` has been removed from the
+ public API and is now an internal-only function. Where telemetry library is
+ available, it is called automatically from ``rte_eal_init()`` and so no end
+ application need use it.
