+* **Added vhost-user indirect descriptors support.**
+
+ If indirect descriptor feature is negotiated, each packet sent by the guest
+ will take exactly one slot in the enqueue virtqueue. Without the feature, in
+ current version, even 64 bytes packets take two slots with Virtio PMD on guest
+ side.
+
+ The main impact is better performance for 0% packet loss use-cases, as it
+ behaves as if the virtqueue size was enlarged, so more packets can be buffered
+ in case of system perturbations. On the downside, small performance degradation
+ is measured when running micro-benchmarks.
+
+* **Added vhost PMD xstats.**
+
+ Added extended statistics to vhost PMD from per port perspective.
+
+* **Added virtio NEON support for ARM.**
+
+* **Updated the ixgbe base driver.**
+
+ Updated the ixgbe base driver, including the following changes:
+
+ * add X550em_a 10G PHY support
+ * support flow control auto negotiation for X550em_a 1G PHY
+ * add X550em_a FW ALEF support
+ * increase mailbox version to ixgbe_mbox_api_13
+ * add two MAC ops for Hyper-V support
+
+* **Updated the QAT PMD.**
+
+ The QAT PMD was updated with following support:
+
+ * MD5_HMAC algorithm
+ * SHA224-HMAC algorithm
+ * SHA384-HMAC algorithm
+ * GMAC algorithm
+ * KASUMI (F8 and F9) algorithm
+ * 3DES algorithm
+ * NULL algorithm
+ * C3XXX device
+ * C62XX device
+
+* **Added libcrypto PMD.**
+
+ A new crypto PMD has been added, which provides several ciphering and hashing.
+ All cryptography operations are using Openssl library crypto API.
+
+* **Updated the IPsec example with following support:**
+
+ * configuration file

Resolved Issues
---------------
This section is a comment. Make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
+* The driver names have been changed. It especially impacts ``--vdev`` arguments.
+ Examples: ``eth_pcap`` becomes ``net_pcap``
+ and ``cryptodev_aesni_mb_pmd`` becomes ``crypto_aesni_mb``.
+
* The log history is removed.
+* The ``rte_ivshmem`` feature (including library and EAL code) has been removed
+ in 16.11 because it had some design issues which were not planned to be fixed.
+
