+* **Added Service Core functionality.**
+
+  The service core functionality added to EAL allows DPDK to run services such
+  as SW PMDs on lcores without the application manually running them. The
+  service core infrastructure allows flexibility of running multiple services
+  on the same service lcore, and provides the application with powerful APIs to
+  configure the mapping from service lcores to services.
+
+* **Added Generic Receive Offload API.**
+
+  Generic Receive Offload (GRO) API supports to reassemble TCP/IPv4
+  packets. GRO API assumes all inputted packets are with correct
+  checksums. GRO API doesn't update checksums for merged packets. If
+  inputted packets are IP fragmented, GRO API assumes they are complete
+  packets (i.e. with L4 headers).

   Added a multicore based distribution mode, which distributes the enqueued
   crypto operations among several slaves, running on different logical cores.
 
+* **Added dpdk-test-eventdev test application.**
+
+  The dpdk-test-eventdev tool is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application
+  that allows exercising various eventdev use cases.
+  This application has a generic framework to add new eventdev based test cases
+  to verify functionality and measure the performance parameters of DPDK
