=========================================================
+* **Added Trace Library and Tracepoints**
+
+ A native implementation of ``common trace format(CTF)`` based trace library
+ has been added to provide the ability to add tracepoints in
+ application/library to get runtime trace/debug information for control and
+ fast APIs with minimum impact on fast path performance.
+ Typical trace overhead is ~20 cycles and instrumentation overhead is 1 cycle.
+ Added tracepoints in ``EAL``, ``ethdev``, ``cryptodev``, ``eventdev`` and
+ ``mempool`` libraries for important functions.
+
* **Added new API for rte_ring.**
* New synchronization modes for rte_ring.
(enqueue/dequeue start; enqueue/dequeue finish). That allows user to inspect
objects in the ring without removing them from it (aka MT safe peek).
+* **Added flow aging support.**
+
+ Added flow aging support to detect and report aged-out flows, including:
+
+ * Added new action: ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_AGE`` to set the timeout
+ and the application flow context for each flow.
+ * Added new event: ``RTE_ETH_EVENT_FLOW_AGED`` for the driver to report
+ that there are new aged-out flows.
+ * Added new query: ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows`` to get the aged-out flows
+ contexts from the port.
+
+* **Updated Amazon ena driver.**
+
+ Updated ena PMD with new features and improvements, including:
+
+ * Added support for large LLQ (Low-latency queue) headers.
+ * Added Tx drops as new extended driver statistic.
+ * Added support for accelerated LLQ mode.
+ * Handling of the 0 length descriptors on the Rx path.
+
+* **Updated Intel i40e driver.**
+
+ Updated i40e PMD with new features and improvements, including:
+
+ * Enable MAC address as FDIR input set for ipv4-other, ipv4-udp and ipv4-tcp.
+ * Added support for RSS using L3/L4 source/destination only.
+ * Added support for setting hash function in rte flow.
+
+* **Updated the Intel iavf driver.**
+
+ Update the Intel iavf driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+ * Added generic filter support.
+ * Added advanced iavf with FDIR capability.
+ * Added advanced RSS configuration for VFs.
+
+* **Updated the Intel ice driver.**
+
+ Updated the Intel ice driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+ * Added support for DCF (Device Config Function) feature.
+ * Added switch filter support for intel DCF.
+
+* **Updated Marvell OCTEON TX2 ethdev driver.**
+
+ Updated Marvell OCTEON TX2 ethdev driver with traffic manager support with
+ below features.
+
+ * Hierarchial Scheduling with DWRR and SP.
+ * Single rate - Two color, Two rate - Three color shaping.
+
* **Updated Mellanox mlx5 driver.**
Updated Mellanox mlx5 driver with new features and improvements, including:
* Added support for matching on IPv4 Time To Live and IPv6 Hop Limit.
+ * Added support for creating Relaxed Ordering Memory Regions.
+ * Added support for jumbo frame size (9K MTU) in Multi-Packet RQ mode.
+ * Optimized the memory consumption of flow.
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB crypto PMD.**
+
+ * Added support for intel-ipsec-mb version 0.54.
+ * Updated the AESNI MB PMD with AES-256 DOCSIS algorithm.
+ * Added support for synchronous Crypto burst API.
+
+* **Updated the AESNI GCM crypto PMD.**
+
+ * Added support for intel-ipsec-mb version 0.54.
+
+* **Added a new driver for Intel Foxville I225 devices.**
+
+ Added the new ``igc`` net driver for Intel Foxville I225 devices. See the
+ :doc:`../nics/igc` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.
+
+* **Updated Broadcom bnxt driver.**
+
+ Updated Broadcom bnxt driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+ * Added support for host based flow table management
+ * Added flow counters to extended stats
+ * Added PCI function stats to extended stats
* **Added handling of mixed crypto algorithms in QAT PMD for GEN2.**
when running on GEN2 QAT hardware with particular firmware versions
(GEN3 support was added in DPDK 20.02).
+* **Added plain SHA-1,224,256,384,512 support to QAT PMD.**
+
+ Added support for plain SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hashes
+ to QAT PMD.
+
+* **Added QAT intermediate buffer too small handling in QAT compression PMD.**
+
+ Added a special way of buffer handling when internal QAT intermediate buffer
+ is too small for Huffman dynamic compression operation. Instead of falling
+ back to fixed compression, the operation is now split into multiple smaller
+ dynamic compression requests (possible to execute on QAT) and their results
+ are then combined and copied into the output buffer. This is not possible if
+ any checksum calculation was requested - in such case the code falls back to
+ fixed compression as before.
+
* **Updated the turbo_sw bbdev PMD.**
Supported large size code blocks which does not fit in one mbuf segment.
+* **Added Intel FPGA_5GNR_FEC bbdev PMD.**
+
+ Added a new ``fpga_5gnr_fec`` bbdev driver for the Intel\ |reg| FPGA PAC
+ (Programmable Acceleration Card) N3000. See the
+ :doc:`../bbdevs/fpga_5gnr_fec` BBDEV guide for more details on this new driver.
+
* **Updated ipsec-secgw sample application with following features.**
* Updated ipsec-secgw application to add event based packet processing.
* Updated ipsec-secgw application to support key sizes for AES-192-CBC,
AES-192-GCM, AES-256-GCM algorithms.
+ * Added IPsec inbound load-distribution support for ipsec-secgw application
+ using NIC load distribution feature(Flow Director).
