 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
-* eal: the following functions are deprecated starting from 17.05 and will
-  be removed in 17.08:
-
-  - ``rte_set_log_level``, replaced by ``rte_log_set_global_level``
-  - ``rte_get_log_level``, replaced by ``rte_log_get_global_level``
-  - ``rte_set_log_type``, replaced by ``rte_log_set_level``
-  - ``rte_get_log_type``, replaced by ``rte_log_get_level``
-
-* devargs: An ABI change is planned for 17.08 for the structure ``rte_devargs``.
-  The current version is dependent on bus-specific device identifier, which will
-  be made generic and abstracted, in order to make the EAL bus-agnostic.
-
-  Accompanying this evolution, device command line parameters will thus support
-  explicit bus definition in a device declaration.
-
-* igb_uio: iomem mapping and sysfs files created for iomem and ioport in
-  igb_uio will be removed, because we are able to detect these from what Linux
-  has exposed, like the way we have done with uio-pci-generic. This change
-  targets release 17.05.
-
-* The VDEV subsystem will be converted as driver of the new bus model.
-  It may imply some EAL API changes in 17.08.
-
-* The struct ``rte_pci_driver`` is planned to be removed from
-  ``rte_cryptodev_driver`` and ``rte_eventdev_driver`` in 17.08.
-
-* The mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT are deprecated and
-  are respectively replaced by PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED and
-  PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED, that are better described. The old flags and
-  their behavior will be kept until 17.05 and will be removed in 17.08.
-
-* ethdev: Tx offloads will no longer be enabled by default in 17.08.
+* eal: several API and ABI changes are planned for ``rte_devargs`` in v17.11.
+  The format of device command line parameters will change. The bus will need
+  to be explicitly stated in the device declaration. The enum ``rte_devtype``
+  was used to identify a bus and will disappear.
+  The structure ``rte_devargs`` will change.
+  The ``rte_devargs_list`` will be made private.
+  The following functions are deprecated starting from 17.08 and will either be
+  modified or removed in 17.11:
+
+  - ``rte_eal_devargs_add``
+  - ``rte_eal_devargs_type_count``
+  - ``rte_eal_parse_devargs_str``, replaced by ``rte_eal_devargs_parse``
+
+* pci: Several exposed functions are misnamed.
+  The following functions are deprecated starting from v17.11 and are replaced:
+
+  - ``eal_parse_pci_BDF`` replaced by ``rte_pci_addr_parse``
+  - ``eal_parse_pci_DomBDF`` replaced by ``rte_pci_addr_parse``
+  - ``rte_eal_compare_pci_addr`` replaced by ``rte_pci_addr_cmp``
+
+* ethdev: Tx offloads will no longer be enabled by default in 17.11.
   Instead, the ``rte_eth_txmode`` structure will be extended with
   bit field to enable each Tx offload.

   Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
   PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
 
-* cryptodev: API changes are planned for 17.08 for the sessions management
-  to make it agnostic to the underlying devices, removing coupling with
-  crypto PMDs, so a single session can be used on multiple devices.
-
-  An API of followed functions will be changed to allow operate on multiple
-  devices with one session:
-
-  - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create``
-  - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_free``
-  - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_pool_create``
-
-* librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
-  that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
-  The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
-  (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
-  and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.
+* librte_meter: The API will change to accommodate configuration profiles.
+  Most of the API functions will have an additional opaque parameter.
