+* build: The macros defined to indicate which DPDK libraries and drivers
+  are included in the meson build are changing to a standardized format of
+  ``RTE_LIB_<NAME>`` and ``RTE_<CLASS>_<NAME>``, where ``NAME`` is the
+  upper-case component name, e.g. EAL, ETHDEV, IXGBE, and ``CLASS`` is the
+  upper-case name of the device class to which a driver belongs e.g.
+  ``NET``, ``CRYPTO``, ``VDPA``. The old macros are deprecated and will be
+  removed in a future release.

 * meson: The minimum supported version of meson for configuring and building
   DPDK will be increased to v0.47.1 (from 0.41) from DPDK 19.05 onwards. For
   those users with a version earlier than 0.47.1, an updated copy of meson

 * kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
   for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
 
-* eal: To be more inclusive in choice of naming, the DPDK project
-  will replace uses of master/slave in the API's and command line arguments.
-
-  References to master/slave in relation to lcore will be renamed
-  to initial/worker.  The function ``rte_get_master_lcore()``
-  will be renamed to ``rte_get_initial_lcore()``.
-  For the 20.11 release, both names will be present and the
-  old function will be marked with the deprecated tag.
-  The old function will be removed in a future version.
-
-  The iterator for worker lcores will also change:
-  ``RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_SLAVE`` will be replaced with
-  ``RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_WORKER``.
-
-  The ``master-lcore`` argument to testpmd will be replaced
-  with ``initial-lcore``. The old ``master-lcore`` argument
-  will produce a runtime notification in 20.11 release, and
-  be removed completely in a future release.
-
 * eal: The terms blacklist and whitelist to describe devices used
   by DPDK will be replaced in the 20.11 relase.
   This will apply to command line arguments as well as macros.

 * mbuf: Some fields will be converted to dynamic API in DPDK 20.11
   in order to reserve more space for the dynamic fields, as explained in
   `this presentation <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttl6MlhmzWY>`_.
-  The following static fields will be moved as dynamic:
-
-  - ``timestamp``
-  - ``userdata`` / ``udata64``
-  - ``seqn``
-
   As a consequence, the layout of the ``struct rte_mbuf`` will be re-arranged,
   avoiding impact on vectorized implementation of the driver datapaths,
   while evaluating performance gains of a better use of the first cache line.

-* cryptodev: support for using IV with all sizes is added, J0 still can
-  be used but only when IV length in following structs ``rte_crypto_auth_xform``,

 * sched: To allow more traffic classes, flexible mapping of pipe queues to
   traffic classes, and subport level configuration of pipes and queues
   changes will be made to macros, data structures and API functions defined
