+* **Updated QAT crypto PMD.**
+
+  Performance enhancements:
+
+  * Removed atomics from the internal queue pair structure.
+  * Coalesce writes to HEAD CSR on response processing.
+  * Coalesce writes to TAIL CSR on request processing.
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+  The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+  * DES CBC algorithm.
+  * DES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
+
+  This requires the IPSec Multi-buffer library 0.47. For more details,
+  check out the AESNI MB PMD documenation.

+* **Updated the OpenSSL PMD.**
+
+  The OpenSSL PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+  * DES CBC algorithm.
+
+* **Add new benchmarking mode to dpdk-test-crypto-perf application.**
+
+  Added new "PMD cyclecount" benchmark mode to dpdk-test-crypto-perf application
+  that displays more detailed breakdown of CPU cycles used by hardware
+  acceleration.
