+* **Added bus agnostic functions to cryptodev for PMD initialization**
+
+ Added new PMD assist, bus independent, functions
+ ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_parse_input_args()``, ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_create()`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_destroy()`` for drivers to manage creation and
+ destruction of new device instances.
+
+* **Updated QAT crypto PMD.**
+
+ Added several performance enhancements:
+
+ * Removed atomics from the internal queue pair structure.
+ * Added coalesce writes to HEAD CSR on response processing.
+ * Added coalesce writes to TAIL CSR on request processing.
+
+ In addition support was added for the AES CCM algorithm.
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+ The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+ * The DES CBC algorithm.
+ * The DES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
+
+ This change requires version 0.47 of the IPSec Multi-buffer library. For
+ more details see the :doc:`../cryptodevs/aesni_mb` documentation.
+
+* **Updated the OpenSSL PMD.**
+
+ The OpenSSL PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+ * The DES CBC algorithm.
+ * The AES CCM algorithm.
+
+* **Added NXP DPAA SEC crypto PMD.**
+
+ A new ``dpaa_sec`` hardware based crypto PMD for NXP DPAA devices has been
+ added. See the :doc:`../cryptodevs/dpaa_sec` document for more details.
+
+* **Added MRVL crypto PMD.**
+
+ A new crypto PMD has been added, which provides several ciphering and hashing
+ algorithms. All cryptography operations use the MUSDK library crypto API.
+ See the :doc:`../cryptodevs/mrvl` document for more details.
+
+* **Add new benchmarking mode to dpdk-test-crypto-perf application.**
+
+ Added a new "PMD cyclecount" benchmark mode to the ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf``
+ application to display a detailed breakdown of CPU cycles used by hardware
+ acceleration.
+
+* **Added the Security Offload Library.**
+
+ Added an experimental library - ``rte_security``. This provide security APIs
+ for protocols like IPSec using inline ipsec offload to ethernet devices or
+ full protocol offload with lookaside crypto devices.
+
+ See the :doc:`../prog_guide/rte_security` section of the DPDK Programmers
+ Guide document for more information.
+
+* **Updated the DPAA2_SEC crypto driver to support rte_security.**
+
+ Updated the ``dpaa2_sec`` crypto PMD to support ``rte_security`` lookaside
+ protocol offload for IPSec.
+
+* **Updated the IXGBE ethernet driver to support rte_security.**
+
+ Updated ixgbe ethernet PMD to support ``rte_security`` inline IPSec offload.
+
+* **Updated ipsec-secgw application to support rte_security.**
+
+ Updated the ``ipsec-secgw`` sample application to support ``rte_security``
+ actions for ipsec inline and full protocol offload using lookaside crypto
+ offload.
+
+* **Added IOMMU support to libvhost-user**
+
+ Implemented device IOTLB in the Vhost-user backend, and enabled Virtio's
+ IOMMU feature. The feature is disabled by default, and can be enabled by
+ setting ``RTE_VHOST_USER_IOMMU_SUPPORT`` flag at vhost device registration
+ time.
+
+* **Added the Event Ethernet Adapter Library.**
+
+ Added the Event Ethernet Adapter library. This library provides APIs for
+ eventdev applications to configure the ethdev for eventdev packet flow.
+
+* **Updated DPAA2 Event PMD for the Event Ethernet Adapter.**
+
+ Added support for the eventdev ethernet adapter for DPAA2.
