+* **Extended port_id range from uint8_t to uint16_t.**
+
+ Increased port_id range from 8 bits to 16 bits in order to support more than
+ 256 ports in dpdk. All ethdev APIs which have port_id as parameter are changed
+ in the meantime.
+
+* **Modified the return type of rte_eth_stats_reset.**
+
+ Changed return type of ``rte_eth_stats_reset`` from ``void`` to ``int``
+ so the caller may know whether a device supports the operation or not
+ and if the operation was carried out.
+
+* **Added a new driver for Marvell Armada 7k/8k devices.**
+
+ Added the new mrvl net driver for Marvell Armada 7k/8k devices. See the
+ "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details on this new
+ driver.
+
+* **Added SoftNIC PMD.**
+
+ Added new SoftNIC PMD. This virtual device offers applications a software
+ fallback support for traffic management.
+
+* **nfp: Added PF support.**
+
+ Previously Netronome's NFP PMD had just support for VFs. PF support is
+ just as a basic DPDK port and has no VF management yet.
+
+ PF support comes with firmware upload support which allows the PMD to
+ independently work from kernel netdev NFP drivers.
+
+ NFP 4000 devices are also now supported along with previous 6000 devices.
+
+* **Updated bnxt PMD.**
+
+ Major enhancements include:
+
+ * Support for Flow API
+ * Support for Tx and Rx descriptor status functions
+
+* **Updated QAT crypto PMD.**
+
+ Performance enhancements:
+
+ * Removed atomics from the internal queue pair structure.
+ * Coalesce writes to HEAD CSR on response processing.
+
+* **Added IOMMU support to libvhost-user**
+
+ Implemented device IOTLB in Vhost-user backend, and enabled Virtio's IOMMU
+ feature.
+
+* **Added Membership library (rte_member).**
+
+ Added membership library. It provides an API for DPDK applications to insert a
+ new member, delete an existing member, or query the existence of a member in a
+ given set, or a group of sets. For the case of a group of sets the library
+ will return not only whether the element has been inserted before in one of
+ the sets but also which set it belongs to.
+
+ The Membership Library is an extension and generalization of a traditional
+ filter (for example Bloom Filter) structure that has multiple usages in a wide
+ variety of workloads and applications. In general, the Membership Library is a
+ data structure that provides a “set-summary” and responds to set-membership
+ queries whether a certain member belongs to a set(s).
+
+ See the :ref:`Membership Library <Member_Library>` documentation in
+ the Programmers Guide document, for more information.
+
+* **Added the Generic Segmentation Offload Library.**
+
+ Added the Generic Segmentation Offload (GSO) library to enable
+ applications to split large packets (e.g. MTU is 64KB) into small
+ ones (e.g. MTU is 1500B). Supported packet types are:
+
+ * TCP/IPv4 packets.
+ * VxLAN packets, which must have an outer IPv4 header, and contain
+ an inner TCP/IPv4 packet.
+ * GRE packets, which must contain an outer IPv4 header, and inner
+ TCP/IPv4 headers.
+
+ The GSO library doesn't check if the input packets have correct
+ checksums, and doesn't update checksums for output packets.
+ Additionally, the GSO library doesn't process IP fragmented packets.
