-* cryptodev: All PMD names definitions will be moved to the individual PMDs
- in 17.08.
-
-* cryptodev: The following changes will be done in in 17.08:
-
- - the device type enumeration ``rte_cryptodev_type`` will be removed
- - the following structures will be changed: ``rte_cryptodev_session``,
- ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session``, ``rte_cryptodev_info``, ``rte_cryptodev``
- - the function ``rte_cryptodev_count_devtype`` will be replaced by
- ``rte_cryptodev_device_count_by_driver``
-
-* cryptodev: API changes are planned for 17.08 for the sessions management
- to make it agnostic to the underlying devices, removing coupling with
- crypto PMDs, so a single session can be used on multiple devices.
-
- - ``struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session``, dev_id, dev_type will be removed,
- _private field changed to the indirect array of private data pointers of
- all supported devices
-
- An API of followed functions will be changed to allow operate on multiple
- devices with one session:
-
- - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create``
- - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_free``
- - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_pool_create``
-
- While dev_id will not be stored in the ``struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session``,
- directly, the change of followed API is required:
-
- - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session``
- - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_detach_sym_session``
-
-* cryptodev: the structures ``rte_crypto_op``, ``rte_crypto_sym_op``
- and ``rte_crypto_sym_xform`` will be restructured in 17.08,
- for correctness and improvement.
-
-* librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
- that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
- The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
- (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
- and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.
+* ethdev: Update API functions returning ``void`` to return ``int`` with
+ negative errno values to indicate various error conditions (e.g.
+ invalid port ID, unsupported operation, failed operation):
+
+ - ``rte_eth_dev_stop``
+ - ``rte_eth_dev_close``
+
+* ethdev: New offload flags ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_FLOW_MARK`` will be added in 19.11.
+ This will allow application to enable or disable PMDs from updating
+ ``rte_mbuf::hash::fdir``.
+ This scheme will allow PMDs to avoid writes to ``rte_mbuf`` fields on Rx and
+ thereby improve Rx performance if application wishes do so.
+ In 19.11 PMDs will still update the field even when the offload is not
+ enabled.
+
+* cryptodev: support for using IV with all sizes is added, J0 still can
+ be used but only when IV length in following structs ``rte_crypto_auth_xform``,
+ ``rte_crypto_aead_xform`` is set to zero. When IV length is greater or equal
+ to one it means it represents IV, when is set to zero it means J0 is used
+ directly, in this case 16 bytes of J0 need to be passed.
+
+* sched: To allow more traffic classes, flexible mapping of pipe queues to
+ traffic classes, and subport level configuration of pipes and queues
+ changes will be made to macros, data structures and API functions defined
+ in "rte_sched.h". These changes are aligned to improvements suggested in the
+ RFC https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-November/120035.html.
+
+* metrics: The function ``rte_metrics_init`` will have a non-void return
+ in order to notify errors instead of calling ``rte_exit``.
+
+* power: ``rte_power_set_env`` function will no longer return 0 on attempt
+ to set new power environment if power environment was already initialized.
+ In this case the function will return -1 unless the environment is unset first
+ (using ``rte_power_unset_env``). Other function usage scenarios will not change.
