   PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED, that are better described. The old flags and
   their behavior will be kept in 16.07 and will be removed in 16.11.
 
-* The APIs rte_mempool_count and rte_mempool_free_count are being deprecated
-  on the basis that they are confusing to use - free_count actually returns
-  the number of allocated entries, not the number of free entries as expected.
-  They are being replaced by rte_mempool_avail_count and
-  rte_mempool_in_use_count respectively.
+* mempool: The functions ``rte_mempool_count`` and ``rte_mempool_free_count``
+  will be removed in 17.02.

-* The ``rte_ivshmem`` feature (including library and EAL code) will be removed
-  in 16.11 because it has some design issues which are not planned to be fixed.
+* The vhost-cuse will be removed in 16.11. Since v2.1, a large majority of
+  development effort has gone to vhost-user, such as multiple-queue, live
+  migration, reconnect etc. Therefore, vhost-user should be used instead.
 
 * Driver names are quite inconsistent among each others and they will be
   renamed to something more consistent (net and crypto prefixes) in 16.11.
   Some of these driver names are used publicly, to create virtual devices,
   so a deprecation notice is necessary.
+
+* API will change for ``rte_port_source_params`` and ``rte_port_sink_params``
+  structures. The member ``file_name`` data type will be changed from
+  ``char *`` to ``const char *``. This change targets release 16.11.
