* **Added vhost-user live migration support.**
+* **Added support for E-tag on X550.**
+
+ E-tag is defined in 802.1br. Please reference
+ http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/802.1br.html.
+
+ This feature is for VF, but the settings are on PF. It means
+ the CLIs should be used on PF, but some of their effects will be shown on VF.
+ The forwarding of E-tag packets based on GRP and E-CID_base will have effect
+ on PF. Theoretically the E-tag packets can be forwarded to any pool/queue.
+ But normally we'd like to forward the packets to the pools/queues belonging
+ to the VFs. And E-tag insertion and stripping will have effect on VFs. When
+ VF receives E-tag packets, it should strip the E-tag. When VF transmits
+ packets, it should insert the E-tag. Both can be offloaded.
+
+ When we want to use this E-tag support feature, the forwarding should be
+ enabled to forward the packets received by PF to indicated VFs. And insertion
+ and stripping should be enabled for VFs to offload the effort to HW.
+
+ * Support E-tag offloading of insertion and stripping.
+ * Support Forwarding E-tag packets to pools based on
+ GRP and E-CID_base.
+
+* **Added support for VxLAN & NVGRE checksum off-load on X550.**
+
+ * Added support for VxLAN & NVGRE RX/TX checksum off-load on
+ X550. RX/TX checksum off-load is provided on both inner and
+ outer IP header and TCP header.
+ * Added functions to support VxLAN port configuration. The
+ default VxLAN port number is 4789 but this can be updated
+ programmatically.
+
+* **Added new X550EM_a devices.**
+
+ Added new X550EM_a devices and their mac types, X550EM_a and X550EM_a_vf.
+ Updated the code to use the new devices and mac types.
+
+* **Added x550em_x V2 device support.**
+
+ Only x550em_x V1 was supported before. Now V2 is supported.
+ A mask for V1 and V2 is defined and used to support both.
+
+* **Added sw-firmware sync on X550EM_a.**
+
+ Added support for sw-firmware sync for resource sharing.
+ Use the PHY token, shared between sw-fw for PHY access on X550EM_a.
+
* **Enabled PCI extended tag for i40e.**
It enabled extended tag by checking and writing corresponding PCI config
space bytes, to boost the performance. In the meanwhile, it deprecated the
legacy way via reading/writing sysfile supported by kernel module igb_uio.
+* **Supported ether type setting of single and double VLAN for i40e**
+
* **Increased number of next hops for LPM IPv4 to 2^24.**
The next_hop field is extended from 8 bits to 24 bits for IPv4.
+* **Added support of SNOW 3G (UEA2 and UIA2) for Intel Quick Assist devices.**
+
+ Enabled support for SNOW 3G wireless algorithm for Intel Quick Assist devices.
+ Support for cipher only, hash only is also provided
+ along with alg-chaining operations.
+
+* **Added SNOW3G SW PMD.**
+
+ A new Crypto PMD has been added, which provides SNOW 3G UEA2 ciphering
+ and SNOW3G UIA2 hashing.
+
+* **Added AES GCM PMD.**
+
+ Added new Crypto PMD to support AES-GCM authenticated encryption and
+ authenticated decryption in SW.
+
+* **Added NULL Crypto PMD**
+
+ Added new Crypto PMD to support null crypto operations in SW.
+
+* **Added IPsec security gateway example.**
+
+ New application implementing an IPsec Security Gateway.
+
Resolved Issues
---------------
Fixed issue in ethdev library that the structure for setting
fdir's mask and flow entry was not consistent in byte ordering.
+* **cxgbe: Fixed crash due to incorrect size allocated for RSS table.**
+
+ Fixed a segfault that occurs when accessing part of port 0's RSS
+ table that gets overwritten by subsequent port 1's part of the RSS
+ table due to incorrect size allocated for each entry in the table.
+
+* **cxgbe: Fixed setting wrong device MTU.**
+
+ Fixed an incorrect device MTU being set due to ethernet header and
+ CRC lengths being added twice.
+
+* **ixgbe: Fixed zeroed VF mac address.**
+
+ Resolved an issue where VF mac address is zeroed out in cases where the VF
+ driver is loaded while the PF interface is down.
+ The solution is to only set it when we get an ACK from the PF.
+
* **aesni_mb: Fixed wrong return value when creating a device.**
cryptodev_aesni_mb_init() was returning the device id of the device created,
This made impossible the creation of more than one aesni_mb device
from command line.
+* **qat: Fixed AES GCM decryption.**
+
+ Allowed AES GCM on the cryptodev API, but in some cases gave invalid results
+ due to incorrect IV setting.
+
Libraries
~~~~~~~~~
* Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the API change. Use fixed width
quotes for ``rte_function_names`` or ``rte_struct_names``. Use the past tense.
+* The functions ``rte_eth_dev_udp_tunnel_add`` and ``rte_eth_dev_udp_tunnel_delete``
+ have been renamed into ``rte_eth_dev_udp_tunnel_port_add`` and
+ ``rte_eth_dev_udp_tunnel_port_delete``.
+
+* The ``outer_mac`` and ``inner_mac`` fields in structure
+ ``rte_eth_tunnel_filter_conf`` are changed from pointer to struct in order
+ to keep code's readability.
+
* The fields in ethdev structure ``rte_eth_fdir_masks`` were changed
to be in big endian.
+* A parameter ``vlan_type`` has been added to the function
+ ``rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_ether_type``.
+
* The LPM ``next_hop`` field is extended from 8 bits to 24 bits for IPv4
while keeping ABI compatibility.
+* A new ``rte_lpm_config`` structure is used so LPM library will allocate
+ exactly the amount of memory which is necessary to hold application’s rules.
+ The previous ABI is kept for compatibility.
+
+* The prototype for the pipeline input port, output port and table action
+ handlers are updated: the pipeline parameter is added,
+ the packets mask parameter has been either removed or made input-only.
