-* eal: certain structures will change in EAL on account of upcoming external
- memory support. Aside from internal changes leading to an ABI break, the
- following externally visible changes will also be implemented:
-
- - ``rte_memseg_list`` will change to include a boolean flag indicating
- whether a particular memseg list is externally allocated. This will have
- implications for any users of memseg-walk-related functions, as they will
- now have to skip externally allocated segments in most cases if the intent
- is to only iterate over internal DPDK memory.
- - ``socket_id`` parameter across the entire DPDK will gain additional meaning,
- as some socket ID's will now be representing externally allocated memory. No
- changes will be required for existing code as backwards compatibility will
- be kept, and those who do not use this feature will not see these extra
- socket ID's.
+* meson: The minimum supported version of meson for configuring and building
+ DPDK will be increased to v0.47.1 (from 0.41) from DPDK 19.05 onwards. For
+ those users with a version earlier than 0.47.1, an updated copy of meson
+ can be got using the ``pip``, or ``pip3``, tool for downloading python
+ packages.
+
+* kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
+ for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
+
+* eal: The function ``rte_eal_remote_launch`` will return new error codes
+ after read or write error on the pipe, instead of calling ``rte_panic``.
+
+* eal: the ``rte_mem_config`` struct will be made private to remove it from the
+ externally visible ABI and allow it to be updated in the future.
