 New Features
 ============
+*   Poll-mode driver support for an early release of the PCIE host interface of the Intel(R) Ethernet Switch FM10000.
 
-*   Packet Distributor library for dynamic, single-packet at a time, load balancing
+    *   Basic Rx/Tx functions for PF/VF
 
-*   IP fragmentation and reassembly library
+    *   Interrupt handling support for PF/VF
 
-*   Support for IPv6 in IP fragmentation and reassembly sample applications
+    *   Per queue start/stop functions for PF/VF
 
-*   Support for VFIO for mapping BARs and setting up interrupts
+    *   Support Mailbox handling between PF/VF and PF/Switch Manager
 
-*   Link Bonding PMD Library supporting round-robin, active backup, balance(layer 2, layer 2+3, and layer 3+4) and broadcast bonding modes
+    *   Receive Side Scaling (RSS) for PF/VF
 
-*   Support zero copy mode RX/TX in user space vhost sample
+    *   Scatter receive function for PF/VF
 
-*   Support multiple queues in virtio-net PMD
+    *   Reta update/query for PF/VF
 
-*   Support for Intel® 40GbE Controllers
+    *   VLAN filter set for PF
 
-*   Support NIC filters in addition to flow director for Intel® 1GbE and 10GbE Controllers
+    *   Link status query for PF/VF
+
+.. note:: The software is intended to run on pre-release hardware and may contain unknown or unresolved defects or
+          issues related to functionality and performance.
+          The poll mode driver is also pre-release and will be updated to a released version post hardware and base driver release.
+          Should the official hardware release be made between DPDK releases an updated poll-mode driver will be made available.
+
+*   Link Bonding
+
+    *   Support for adaptive load balancing (mode 6) to the link bonding library.
+
+    *   Support for registration of link status change callbacks with link bonding devices.
+
+    *   Support for slaves devices which do not support link status change interrupts in the link bonding library via a link status polling mechanism.
+
+*   PCI Hotplug with NULL PMD sample application
+
+*   ABI versioning
+
+*   x32 ABI
+
+*   Non-EAL Thread Support
+
+*   Multi-pthread Support
+
+*   Re-order Library

+
+       -   128/512 entries of 40GbE PF
+
+       -   64 entries of 40GbE VF
+
+    *   Support configuring hash functions
+
+    *   Support for VXLAN packet on Intel® 40GbE Controllers
+
+*   Packet Distributor Sample Application
