 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
-* Significant ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_dev to support up to
-  1024 queues per port. This change will be in release 2.2.
-  There is no backward compatibility planned from release 2.2.
-  All binaries will need to be rebuilt from release 2.2.
+* The EAL function pci_config_space_set is deprecated in release 16.04
+  and will be removed from 16.07.
+  Macros CONFIG_RTE_PCI_CONFIG, CONFIG_RTE_PCI_EXTENDED_TAG and
+  CONFIG_RTE_PCI_MAX_READ_REQUEST_SIZE will be removed.
+  The /sys entries extended_tag and max_read_request_size created by igb_uio
+  will be removed.
 
-* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_intr_handle, struct rte_eth_conf
-  and struct eth_dev_ops to support interrupt mode feature from release 2.1.
-  Those changes may be enabled in the release 2.1 with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
-
-* The EAL function rte_eal_pci_close_one is deprecated because renamed to
-  rte_eal_pci_detach.
-
-* The Macros RTE_HASH_BUCKET_ENTRIES_MAX and RTE_HASH_KEY_LENGTH_MAX are
-  deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2.
+* The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
+  ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
+  tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
 
-* Significant ABI changes are planned for struct rte_mbuf, struct rte_kni_mbuf,
-  and several ``PKT_RX_`` flags will be removed, to support unified packet type
-  from release 2.1. Those changes may be enabled in the upcoming release 2.1
-  with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
+* The ethdev structures rte_eth_link, rte_eth_dev_info and rte_eth_conf
+  must be updated to support 100G link and to have a cleaner link speed API.
 
-* librte_malloc library has been integrated into librte_eal. The 2.1 release
-  creates a dummy/empty malloc library to fulfill binaries with dynamic linking
-  dependencies on librte_malloc.so. Such dummy library will not be created from
-  release 2.2 so binaries will need to be rebuilt.
+* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow in order to support
+  extend flow director's input set. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI
+  changes, but release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
 
-* The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
-  imissed, ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
-  tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
+* ABI changes are planned for rte_eth_ipv4_flow and rte_eth_ipv6_flow to
+  include more fields to be matched against. The release 2.2 does not
+  contain these ABI changes, but release 2.3 will.
 
-* API for flow director filters has been replaced by rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl.
-  Following old API is deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2 without
-  backward compatibility.
-  Functions: rte_eth_dev_fdir_*.
-  Structures: rte_fdir_*, rte_eth_fdir.
-  Enums: rte_l4type, rte_iptype.
+* ABI changes are planned for adding four new flow types. This impacts
+  RTE_ETH_FLOW_MAX. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes,
+  but release 2.3 will.
