IPSec Multi-buffer library v0.46 has been released,
which includes, among othe features, support for 12-byte IV,
for AES-CTR, keeping also the previous 16-byte IV,
for backward compatibility reasons.

+Extra notes
+-----------
+
+For AES Counter mode (AES-CTR), the library supports two different sizes for Initialization
+Vector (IV):
+
+* 12 bytes: used mainly for IPSec, as it requires 12 bytes from the user, which internally
+ are appended the counter block (4 bytes), which is set to 1 for the first block
+ (no padding required from the user)
+
+* 16 bytes: when passing 16 bytes, the library will take them and use the last 4 bytes
+ as the initial counter block for the first block.
Added support for AES-GCM and AES-CTR
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.
