=========================================================
+* **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 support for generic flow API (rte_flow) on igb NIC.**
This API provides a generic means to configure hardware to match specific
The crypto operation (``rte_crypto_sym_op``) has been reorganized as follows:
* Removed field ``rte_crypto_sym_op_sess_type``.
+ * Replaced pointer and physical address of IV with offset from the start
+ of the crypto operation.
+ * Moved length and offset of cipher IV to ``rte_crypto_cipher_xform``.
+ * Removed Additional Authentication Data (AAD) length.
+ * Removed digest length.
+ * Removed AAD pointer and physical address from ``auth`` structure.
+ * Added ``aead`` structure, containing parameters for AEAD algorithms.
* **Reorganized the crypto operation structure.**
* Removed the field ``opaque_data``.
* Pointer to ``rte_crypto_sym_op`` has been replaced with a zero length array.
+* **Reorganized the crypto symmetric session structure.**
+
+ The crypto symmetric session structure (``rte_cryptodev_sym_session``) has
+ been reorganized as follows:
+
+ * ``dev_id`` field has been removed.
+ * ``driver_id`` field has been removed.
+ * Mempool pointer ``mp`` has been removed.
+ * Replaced ``private`` marker with array of pointers to private data sessions
+ ``sess_private_data``.
+
+* **Updated cryptodev library.**
+
+ * Added AEAD algorithm specific functions and structures, so it is not
+ necessary to use a combination of cipher and authentication
+ structures anymore.
+ * Added helper functions for crypto device driver identification.
+ * Added support for multi-device sessions, so a single session can be
+ used in multiple drivers.
+ * Added functions to initialize and free individual driver private data
+ with a same session.
+
+* **Updated dpaa2_sec crypto PMD.**
+
+ Added support for AES-GCM and AES-CTR
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+ The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+ * 12-byte IV on AES Counter Mode, apart from the previous 16-byte IV.
+
+* **Updated the AES-NI GCM PMD.**
+
+ The AES-NI GCM PMD was migrated from the ISA-L library to the Multi Buffer
+ library, as the latter library has Scatter Gather List support
+ now. The migration entailed adding additional support for:
+
+ * 192-bit key.
+
+* **Updated the Cryptodev Scheduler PMD.**
+
+ 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
+ eventdev devices.

=========================================================
+* **Moved bypass functions from the rte_ethdev library to ixgbe PMD**
+
+ * The following rte_ethdev library functions were removed:
+
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_show``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_store``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_init``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_state_set``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_state_show``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_ver_show``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_wd_reset``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_wd_timeout_show``
+ * ``rte_eth_dev_wd_timeout_store``
+
+ * The following ixgbe PMD functions were added:
+
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_event_show``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_event_store``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_init``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_state_set``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_state_show``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_ver_show``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_reset``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_timeout_show``
+ * ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_timeout_store``
+
+* **Reworked rte_cryptodev library.**
+
+ The rte_cryptodev library has been reworked and updated. The following changes
+ have been made to it:
+
+ * The crypto device type enumeration has been removed from cryptodev library.
+ * The function ``rte_crypto_count_devtype()`` has been removed, and replaced
+ by the new function ``rte_crypto_count_by_driver()``.
+ * Moved crypto device driver names definitions to the particular PMDs.
+ These names are not public anymore.
+ * ``rte_cryptodev_configure()`` does not create the session mempool
+ for the device anymore.
+ * ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session()`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_dettach_sym_session()`` functions require
+ the new parameter ``device id``.
+ * Modified parameters of ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create()``, to accept
+ ``mempool``, instead of ``device id`` and ``rte_crypto_sym_xform``.
+ * Remove ``device id`` parameter from ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_free()``.
+ * Added new field ``session_pool`` to ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_setup()``.
+ * Removed ``aad_size`` parameter from ``rte_cryptodev_sym_capability_check_auth()``.
+ * Added ``iv_size`` parameter to ``rte_cryptodev_sym_capability_check_auth()``.
