210 * Added support for periodic timer mode in octeontx2 event device driver.
212 * **Added event device vector capability.**
214 * Added the ``rte_event_vector`` data structure which is capable of holding
215 multiple ``uintptr_t`` of the same flow thereby allowing applications
216 to vectorize their pipelines and also reduce the complexity of pipelining
217 the events across multiple stages.
218 * This also reduced the scheduling overhead on a event device.
220 * **Enhanced crypto adapter forward mode.**
222 * Added ``rte_event_crypto_adapter_enqueue()`` API to enqueue events to the
223 crypto adapter if forward mode is supported by the driver.

233 Added feature for finding collisions of the Toeplitz hash function -
234 the hash function used in NICs to spread the traffic among the queues.
235 It can be used to get predictable mapping of the flows.
237 * **Updated testpmd.**
239 * Added a command line option to configure forced speed for an Ethernet port:
240 ``dpdk-testpmd -- --eth-link-speed N``.
241 * Added command to show link flow control info:
242 ``show port (port_id) flow_ctrl``.
243 * Added command to display Rx queue used descriptor count:
244 ``show port (port_id) rxq (queue_id) desc used count``.
245 * Added command to cleanup a Tx queue's mbuf on a port:
246 ``port cleanup (port_id) txq (queue_id) (free_cnt)``.
247 * Added command to dump internal representation information of a single flow:
248 ``flow dump (port_id) rule (rule_id)``.
249 * Added commands to create and delete meter policy:
250 ``add port meter policy (port_id) (policy_id) ...``.
251 * Added commands to construct conntrack context and relevant indirect
252 action handle creation, update for conntrack action as well as conntrack
254 * Added commands for action meter color to color the packet to reflect
255 the meter color result:
256 ``color type (green|yellow|red)``.
258 * **Added support for the FIB lookup method in the l3fwd example app.**
260 Added support to the l3fwd application to support
261 the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) lookup method.
262 Previously l3fwd only supported the LPM and Exact Match lookup methods.
264 * **Updated the ipsec-secgw sample application.**
266 * Updated the ``ipsec-secgw`` sample application with UDP encapsulation
267 support for NAT Traversal.
269 * **Added sub-testsuite support.**
271 * The unit test suite struct now supports having both a nested
272 list of sub-testsuites, and a list of testcases as before.
278 * Removed support for Intel DLB V1 hardware. This is not a broad market device,
279 and existing customers already obtain the source code directly from Intel.
285 * eal: The experimental TLS API added in ``rte_thread.h`` has been renamed
286 from ``rte_thread_tls_*`` to ``rte_thread_*`` to avoid naming redundancy
287 and confusion with the transport layer security term.
289 * pci: The value ``PCI_ANY_ID`` is marked as deprecated
290 and can be replaced with ``RTE_PCI_ANY_ID``.
292 * ethdev: Added a ``rte_flow`` pointer parameter to the function
293 ``rte_flow_dev_dump()`` allowing dumping of a single flow.
295 * cryptodev: The experimental raw data path API for dequeue
296 ``rte_cryptodev_raw_dequeue_burst`` got a new parameter
297 ``max_nb_to_dequeue`` to provide flexible control on dequeue.
299 * ethdev: The experimental flow API for shared action has been generalized
300 as a flow action handle used in rules through an indirect action.
301 The functions ``rte_flow_shared_action_*`` manipulating the action object
302 are replaced with ``rte_flow_action_handle_*``.
303 The action ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SHARED`` is deprecated and can be
304 replaced with ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_INDIRECT``.
306 * ethdev: The experimental function ``rte_mtr_policer_actions_update()``,
307 the enum ``rte_mtr_policer_action``, and the struct members
308 ``policer_action_recolor_supported`` and ``policer_action_drop_supported``
311 * vhost: The vhost library currently populates received mbufs from a virtio
312 driver with Tx offload flags while not filling Rx offload flags.
313 While this behavior is arguable, it is kept untouched.
314 A new flag ``RTE_VHOST_USER_NET_COMPLIANT_OL_FLAGS`` has been added to ask
315 for a behavior compliant with the mbuf offload API.
317 * stack: Lock-free ``rte_stack`` no longer silently ignores push and pop when
318 it's not supported on the current platform. Instead ``rte_stack_create()``
319 fails and ``rte_errno`` is set to ``ENOTSUP``.
321 * raw/ioat: The experimental function ``rte_ioat_completed_ops()`` now
322 supports two additional parameters, ``status`` and ``num_unsuccessful``,
323 to allow the reporting of errors from hardware when performing copy
330 * No ABI change that would break compatibility with 20.11.
332 * The experimental function ``rte_telemetry_legacy_register`` has been
333 removed from the public API and is now an internal-only function. This
334 function was already marked as internal in the API documentation for it,
335 and was not for use by external applications.
