+
+* **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 new Crypto PMD to support null crypto operations in SW.
