+* **Introduce ARMv7 and ARMv8 architectures**
+
+ * It is now possible to build DPDK for the ARMv7 and ARMv8 platforms.
+ * ARMv7 can be tested with virtual PMD drivers.
+ * ARMv8 can be tested with virtual and physical PMD drivers.
+
+* **Enabled freeing of ring.**
+
+ New function rte_ring_free() allows the user to free a ring
+ if it was created with rte_ring_create().
+
+* **Added keepalive support to EAL and example application.**
+
+* **Added experimental cryptodev API**
+
+ The cryptographic processing of packet is provided as a preview
+ with two drivers for:
+
+ * Intel QuickAssist devices
+ * Intel AES-NI multi-buffer library
+
+ Due to its experimental state, the API may change without prior notice.
+
+* **Added ethdev API to support IEEE1588.**
+
+ Added functions to read, write and adjust system time in the NIC.
+
+* **Extended Statistics**
+
+ Define extended statistics naming scheme to store metadata in the name
+ string name of each statistic, refer to the Extended Statistics section
+ of the programmers guide. Implemented the extended stats API for these
+ PMDs:
+
+ * igb
+ * igbvf
+ * i40e
+ * i40evf
+ * fm10k
+ * virtio
+
+* **Added API in ethdev to retrieve RX/TX queue information.**
+
+ * Add the ability for the upper layer to query RX/TX queue information.
+ * Add into rte_eth_dev_info new fields to represent information about
+ RX/TX descriptors min/max/align numbers per queue for the device.
+
+* **Added RSS dynamic configuration to bonding.**
+
+* **Added e1000 Rx interrupt support.**
+
+* **Added igb TSO support for both PF and VF.**
+
+* **RSS enhancement on Intel x550 NIC**
+
+ * Support 512 entries RSS redirection table.
+ * Support per VF RSS redirection table.
+
+* **Flow director enhancement on Intel x550 NIC**
+
+ * Add 2 new flow director modes on x550.
+ * One is MAC VLAN mode, the other is tunnel mode.
+
+* **Added i40e vector RX/TX.**
+
+* **Added i40e Rx interrupt support.**
+
+* **Added i40e flow control support.**
+
+* **Added DCB support to i40e PF driver.**
+
+* **Added RSS/FD input set granularity on Intel X710/XL710.**
+
+* **Added different GRE key length for input set on Intel X710/XL710.**
+
+* **Added flow director support in i40e VF.**
+
+* **Added fm10k vector RX/TX.**
+
+* **Added fm10k TSO support for both PF and VF.**
+
+* **Added fm10k VMDQ support.**
+
+* **New NIC Boulder Rapid support.**
+
+ Boulder Rapid is a new NIC of Intel's fm10k family.
+
+* **Enhanced support for the Chelsio CXGBE driver.**
+
+ * Added support for Jumbo Frames.
+ * Optimize forwarding performance for Chelsio T5 40GbE cards.
+
+* **Improved enic Tx packet rate.**
+
+ Reduced frequency of Tx tail pointer updates to the NIC.
+
+* **Added support for Mellanox ConnectX-4 adapters (mlx5).**
+
+ The mlx5 poll-mode driver implements support for Mellanox ConnectX-4 EN
+ and Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx EN families of 10/25/40/50/100 Gb/s adapters.
+
+ Like mlx4, this PMD is only available for Linux and is disabled by default
+ due to external dependencies (libibverbs and libmlx5).
+
+* **Added virtual szedata2 driver for COMBO cards.**
+
+ Added virtual PMD for COMBO-100G and COMBO-80G cards.
+ PMD is disabled in default configuration.
+
+* **Enhanced support for virtio driver.**
+
+ * Virtio ring layout optimization (fixed avail ring)
+ * Vector RX
+ * Simple TX
+
+* **Added vhost-user multiple queue support.**
+
+* **Added port hotplug support to vmxnet3.**
+
+* **Added port hotplug support to xenvirt.**
