-* i40e: The default flexible payload configuration which extracts the first 16
- bytes of the payload for RSS will be deprecated starting from 18.02. If
- required the previous behavior can be configured using existing flow
- director APIs. There is no ABI/API break. This change will just remove a
- global configuration setting and require explicit configuration.
-
-* librte_meter: The API will change to accommodate configuration profiles.
- Most of the API functions will have an additional opaque parameter.
-
-* ring: The alignment constraints on the ring structure will be relaxed
- to one cache line instead of two, and an empty cache line padding will
- be added between the producer and consumer structures. The size of the
- structure and the offset of the fields will remain the same on
- platforms with 64B cache line, but will change on other platforms.
+* pdump: As we changed to use generic IPC, some changes in APIs and structure
+ are expected in subsequent release.
+
+ - ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir`` will be removed;
+ - The parameter, ``path``, of ``rte_pdump_init`` will be removed;
+ - The enum ``rte_pdump_socktype`` will be removed.
+
+* cryptodev: The following changes will be made in the library
+ for 18.08:
+
+ - Removal of ``sym`` structure in ``rte_cryptodev_info`` structure,
+ containing fields not relevant anymore since the session mempool
+ is not internal in the crypto device anymore.
+ - Replacement of ``pci_dev`` field with the more generic ``rte_device``
+ structure.
+ - Functions ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session()`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_dettach_sym_session()`` will be deprecated from
+ 18.05 and removed in 18.08, as there are no drivers doing anything useful
+ with them.
+ - Functions ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_start()`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_stop()`` will be deprecated from 18.05
+ and removed in 18.08, as there are no drivers doing anything useful
+ with them.
+ - Some feature flags such as ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER`` are ambiguous,
+ so some will be replaced by more explicit flags.
+ - Function ``rte_cryptodev_get_header_session_size()`` will be deprecated
+ in 18.05, and it gets replaced with ``rte_cryptodev_sym_get_header_session_size()``.
+ It will be removed in 18.08.
+ - Function ``rte_cryptodev_get_private_session_size()`` will be deprecated
+ in 18.05, and it gets replaced with ``rte_cryptodev_sym_get_private_session_size()``.
+ It will be removed in 18.08.
