Deprecation Notices
-------------------
-* linux: Linux kernel version 3.2 (which is the current minimum required
- version for the DPDK) is not maintained anymore. Therefore the planned
- minimum required kernel version for DPDK 19.02 will be the next oldest
- Long Term Stable (LTS) version which is 3.16, but compatibility for
- recent distribution kernels will be kept.
-
* kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
structure would be made internal (or removed if all dependencies are cleared)
in future releases.
-* mbuf: the macro ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()`` will be removed in v18.08 or later and
- replaced with ``RTE_MBUF_CLONED()`` which is already added in v18.05. As
- ``EXT_ATTACHED_MBUF`` is newly introduced in v18.05, ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()``
- can no longer be mutually exclusive with ``RTE_MBUF_DIRECT()`` if the new
- experimental API ``rte_pktmbuf_attach_extbuf()`` is used. Removal of the macro
- is to fix this semantic inconsistency.
-
* ethdev: the legacy filter API, including
``rte_eth_dev_filter_supported()``, ``rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl()`` as well
as filter types MACVLAN, ETHERTYPE, FLEXIBLE, SYN, NTUPLE, TUNNEL, FDIR,
- Member ``uint16_t min_mtu`` the minimum MTU allowed.
- Member ``uint16_t max_mtu`` the maximum MTU allowed.
-* security: New field ``uint64_t opaque_data`` is planned to be added into
- ``rte_security_session`` structure. That would allow upper layer to easily
- associate/de-associate some user defined data with the security session.
-
* crypto/aesni_mb: the minimum supported intel-ipsec-mb library version will be
changed from 0.49.0 to 0.52.0.
