 * **Added support for meter PPS profile.**
 
   Added packet mode in the meter profile parameters data structures
   to support metering traffic by packet per second (PPS),
   in addition to the initial bytes per second (BPS) mode (value 0).

   Updated the Intel iavf driver with new features and improvements, including:
 
   * Added flow filter to support GTPU inner L3/L4 fields matching.
+  * In AVX512 code, added the new RX and TX paths to use the HW offload
+    features. When the HW offload features are configured to be used, the
+    offload paths are chosen automatically. In parallel the support of HW
+    offload features was removed from the legacy AVX512 paths.

   * This also reduced the scheduling overhead on a event device.
 
+* **Added Predictable RSS functionality to the Toeplitz hash library.**
+
+  Added feature for finding collisions of the Toeplitz hash function -
+  the hash function used in NICs to spread the traffic among the queues.
+  It can be used to get predictable mapping of the flows.
+
 * **Updated testpmd.**
 
   * Added a command line option to configure forced speed for Ethernet port.
     ``dpdk-testpmd -- --eth-link-speed N``
   * Added command to display Rx queue used descriptor count.
     ``show port (port_id) rxq (queue_id) desc used count``
+  * Added command to dump internal representation information of single flow.
+    ``flow dump (port_id) rule (rule_id)``
+  * Added commands to construct conntrack context and relevant indirect
+    action handle creation, update for conntrack action as well as conntrack
+    item matching.
+
+* **Added support for the FIB lookup method in the l3fwd example app.**
+
+  Previously the l3fwd sample app only supported LPM and EM lookup methods,
+  the app now supports the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) lookup method.
 
 * **Updated ipsec-secgw sample application.**
 
   * Updated the ``ipsec-secgw`` sample application with UDP encapsulation
     support for NAT Traversal.
 
+* **Enhanced crypto adapter forward mode.**
+
+  * Added ``rte_event_crypto_adapter_enqueue()`` API to enqueue events to crypto
+    adapter if forward mode is supported by driver.
+  * Added support for crypto adapter forward mode in octeontx2 event and crypto

 * pci: The value ``PCI_ANY_ID`` is marked as deprecated
