The size of the unique name will increase RTE_ETH_NAME_MAX_LEN from 32 to
64 characters to allow using a globally unique identifier (GUID) in this field.
-* librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
- that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
- The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
- (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
- and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.
+* ethdev: new parameters - ``rte_security_capabilities`` and
+ ``rte_security_ops`` will be added to ``rte_eth_dev_info`` and
+ ``rte_eth_dev`` respectively to support security operations like
+ ipsec inline.
+
+* cryptodev: new parameters - ``rte_security_capabilities`` and
+ ``rte_security_ops`` will be added to ``rte_cryptodev_info`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev`` respectively to support security protocol offloaded
+ operations.
* cryptodev: the following function is deprecated starting from 17.08 and will
be removed in 17.11:
- ``rte_cryptodev_create_vdev``
+
+* cryptodev: the following function will be static in 17.11 and included
+ by all crypto drivers, therefore, will not be public:
+
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_vdev_pmd_init``
+
+* cryptodev: the following function will have an extra parameter, passing a
+ statically allocated crypto driver structure, instead of calling malloc,
+ in 17.11:
+
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_allocate_driver``
+
+* librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
+ that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
+ The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
+ (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
+ and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.
