-* mbuf: The opaque ``mbuf->hash.sched`` field will be updated to support generic
-  definition in line with the ethdev TM and MTR APIs. Currently, this field
-  is defined in librte_sched in a non-generic way. The new generic format
-  will contain: queue ID, traffic class, color. Field size will not change.

-* mbuf: the macro ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()`` will be removed in v18.08 or later and
-  replaced with ``RTE_MBUF_CLONED()`` which is already added in v18.05. As
-  ``EXT_ATTACHED_MBUF`` is newly introduced in v18.05, ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()``
-  can no longer be mutually exclusive with ``RTE_MBUF_DIRECT()`` if the new
-  experimental API ``rte_pktmbuf_attach_extbuf()`` is used. Removal of the macro
-  is to fix this semantic inconsistency.

-* pdump: As we changed to use generic IPC, some changes in APIs and structure
-  are expected in subsequent release.
+* ethdev: Maximum and minimum MTU values vary between hardware devices. In
+  hardware agnostic DPDK applications access to such information would allow
+  a more accurate way of validating and setting supported MTU values on a per
+  device basis rather than using a defined default for all devices. To
+  resolve this, the following members will be added to ``rte_eth_dev_info``.
+  Note: these can be added to fit a hole in the existing structure for amd64
+  but not for 32-bit, as such ABI change will occur as size of the structure
+  will increase.
+
+  - Member ``uint16_t min_mtu`` the minimum MTU allowed.
+  - Member ``uint16_t max_mtu`` the maximum MTU allowed.

 
 

-  - ``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.
+* crypto/aesni_mb: the minimum supported intel-ipsec-mb library version will be
+  changed from 0.49.0 to 0.52.0.
