+* **Added multicast promiscuous mode support on VF for ixgbe.**
+
+ Added multicast promiscuous mode support on ixgbe VF driver. So all the VFs
+ can receive the multicast packets.
+
+ Please note if we want to use this promiscuous mode, we need both PF and VF
+ driver to support it. The reason is this VF feature is configured on PF.
+ If use kernel PF driver + dpdk VF driver, make sure kernel PF driver support
+ VF multicast promiscuous mode. If use dpdk PF + dpdk VF, better make sure PF
+ driver is the same version as VF.
+
+* **Added support for E-tag on X550.**
+
+ E-tag is defined in 802.1br. Please reference
+ http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/802.1br.html.
+
+ This feature is for VF, but the settings are on PF. It means
+ the CLIs should be used on PF, but some of their effects will be shown on VF.
+ The forwarding of E-tag packets based on GRP and E-CID_base will have effect
+ on PF. Theoretically the E-tag packets can be forwarded to any pool/queue.
+ But normally we'd like to forward the packets to the pools/queues belonging
+ to the VFs. And E-tag insertion and stripping will have effect on VFs. When
+ VF receives E-tag packets, it should strip the E-tag. When VF transmits
+ packets, it should insert the E-tag. Both can be offloaded.
+
+ When we want to use this E-tag support feature, the forwarding should be
+ enabled to forward the packets received by PF to indicated VFs. And insertion
+ and stripping should be enabled for VFs to offload the effort to HW.
+
+ * Support E-tag offloading of insertion and stripping.
+ * Support Forwarding E-tag packets to pools based on
+ GRP and E-CID_base.
+
+* **Added support for VxLAN & NVGRE checksum off-load on X550.**
+
+ * Added support for VxLAN & NVGRE RX/TX checksum off-load on
+ X550. RX/TX checksum off-load is provided on both inner and
+ outer IP header and TCP header.
+ * Added functions to support VxLAN port configuration. The
+ default VxLAN port number is 4789 but this can be updated
+ programmatically.
+
+* **Added new X550EM_a devices.**
+
+ Added new X550EM_a devices and their mac types, X550EM_a and X550EM_a_vf.
+ Updated the code to use the new devices and mac types.
+
+* **Added x550em_x V2 device support.**
+
+ Only x550em_x V1 was supported before. Now V2 is supported.
+ A mask for V1 and V2 is defined and used to support both.
+
+* **Supported link speed auto-negotiation on X550EM_X**
+
+ Normally the auto-negotiation is supported by FW. SW need not care about
+ that. But on x550em_x, FW doesn't support auto-neg. As the ports of x550em_x
+ are 10G, if we connect the port with a peer which is 1G, the link will always
+ be down.
+ We added the support of auto-neg by SW to avoid this link down issue.
+
+* **Added sw-firmware sync on X550EM_a.**
+
+ Added support for sw-firmware sync for resource sharing.
+ Use the PHY token, shared between sw-fw for PHY access on X550EM_a.
+
+* **Updated the i40e base driver.**
+
+ The i40e base driver was updated with changes including the
+ following:
+
+ * Use Rx control AQ commands to read/write Rx control registers.
+ * Add new X722 device IDs, and removed X710 one was never used.
+ * Expose registers for HASH/FD input set configuring.
+
+* **Enabled PCI extended tag for i40e.**
+
+ It enabled extended tag by checking and writing corresponding PCI config
+ space bytes, to boost the performance. In the meanwhile, it deprecated the
+ legacy way via reading/writing sysfile supported by kernel module igb_uio.
+
+* **Added i40e support for setting mac addresses.**
+
+* **Added dump of i40e registers and EEPROM.**
+
+* **Supported ether type setting of single and double VLAN for i40e**
+
+* **Added VMDQ DCB mode in i40e.**
+
+ Added support for DCB in VMDQ mode to i40e driver.
+
+* **Added i40e VEB switching support.**
+
+* **Added fm10k Rx interrupt support.**
+
+* **Increased number of next hops for LPM IPv4 to 2^24.**
+
+ The next_hop field is extended from 8 bits to 24 bits for IPv4.
+
+* **Added support of SNOW 3G (UEA2 and UIA2) for Intel Quick Assist devices.**
+
+ Enabled support for SNOW 3G wireless algorithm for Intel Quick Assist devices.
+ Support for cipher only, hash only is also provided
+ along with alg-chaining operations.
+
+* **Added SNOW3G SW PMD.**
+
+ A new Crypto PMD has been added, which provides SNOW 3G UEA2 ciphering
+ and SNOW3G UIA2 hashing.
+
+* **Added AES GCM PMD.**
+
+ Added new Crypto PMD to support AES-GCM authenticated encryption and
+ authenticated decryption in SW.
+
+* **Added NULL Crypto PMD**
+
+ Added new Crypto PMD to support null crypto operations in SW.
+
+* **Added IPsec security gateway example.**
+
+ New application implementing an IPsec Security Gateway.
