=========================================================
+* **Added generic EAL API for I/O device memory read/write operations.**
+
+ This API introduces 8-bit, 16-bit, 32bit, 64bit I/O device
+ memory read/write operations along with the relaxed versions.
+
+ The weakly-ordered machine like ARM needs additional I/O barrier for
+ device memory read/write access over PCI bus.
+ By introducing the EAL abstraction for I/O device memory read/write access,
+ The drivers can access I/O device memory in architecture-agnostic manner.
+ The relaxed version does not have additional I/O memory barrier, useful in
+ accessing the device registers of integrated controllers which
+ implicitly strongly ordered with respect to memory access.
+
* **Added generic flow API (rte_flow).**
This API provides a generic means to configure hardware to match specific
Added support for I219 Intel 1GbE NICs.
+* **Added VF Daemon (VFD) on i40e. - EXPERIMENTAL**
+
+ This's an EXPERIMENTAL feature to enhance the capability of DPDK PF as many
+ VF management features are not supported by kernel PF driver.
+ Some new private APIs are implemented in PMD without abstrction layer.
+ They can be used directly by some users who have the need.
+
+ The new APIs to control VFs directly from PF include,
+ 1) set VF MAC anti-spoofing
+ 2) set VF VLAN anti-spoofing
+ 3) set TX loopback
+ 4) set VF unicast promiscuous mode
+ 5) set VF multicast promiscuous mode
+ 6) set VF MTU
+ 7) get/reset VF stats
+ 8) set VF MAC address
+ 9) set VF VLAN stripping
+ 10) VF VLAN insertion
+ 12) set VF broadcast mode
+ 13) set VF VLAN tag
+ 14) set VF VLAN filter
+ VFD also includes VF to PF mailbox message management by APP.
+ When PF receives mailbox messages from VF, PF should call the callback
+ provided by APP to know if they're permitted to be processed.
+
+ As an EXPERIMENTAL feature, please aware it can be changed or even
+ removed without prior notice.
+
+* **Updated the i40e base driver.**
+
+ updated the i40e base driver, including the following changes:
+
+ * replace existing legacy memcpy() calls with i40e_memcpy() calls.
+ * use BIT() macro instead of bit fields
+ * add clear all WoL filters implementation
+ * add broadcast promiscuous control per VLAN
+ * remove unused X722_SUPPORT and I40E_NDIS_SUPPORT MARCOs
+
+* **Updated the enic driver.**
+
+ * Set new Rx checksum flags in mbufs to indicate unknown, good or bad.
+ * Fix set/remove of MAC addresses. Allow up to 64 addresses per device.
+ * Enable TSO on outer headers.
+
* **Added Solarflare libefx-based network PMD.**
A new network PMD which supports Solarflare SFN7xxx and SFN8xxx family
of 10/40 Gbps adapters has been added.
+* **Updated the mlx4 driver.**
+
+ * Addressed a few bugs.
+
+* **Added support for Mellanox ConnectX-5 adapters (mlx5).**
+
+ Support for Mellanox ConnectX-5 family of 10/25/40/50/100 Gbps adapters
+ has been added to the existing mlx5 PMD.
+
+* **Updated the mlx5 driver.**
+
+ * Improve Tx performance by using vector logic.
+ * Improve RSS balancing when number of queues is not a power of two.
+ * Generic flow API support for Ethernet, IPv4, IPv4, UDP, TCP, VLAN and
+ VXLAN pattern items with DROP and QUEUE actions.
+ * Support for extended statistics.
+ * Addressed several data path bugs.
+ * As of MLNX_OFED 4.0-1.0.1.0, the Toeplitz RSS hash function is not
+ symmetric anymore for consistency with other PMDs.
+
* **virtio-user with vhost-kernel as another exceptional path.**
Previously, we upstreamed a virtual device, virtio-user with vhost-user
See the :ref:`Virtio Interrupt Mode <virtio_interrupt_mode>` documentation
for more information.
+* **Added ARMv8 crypto PMD.**
+
+ A new crypto PMD has been added, which provides combined mode cryptografic
+ operations optimized for ARMv8 processors. The driver can be used to enhance
+ performance in processing chained operations such as cipher + HMAC.
+
+* **Updated the QAT PMD.**
+
+ The QAT PMD was updated with additional support for:
+
+ * DES algorithm.
+ * Scatter-gather list (SGL) support.
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+ * The Intel(R) Multi Buffer Crypto for IPsec library used in
+ AESNI MB PMD has been moved to a new repository, in GitHub.
+ * Support for single operations (cipher only and authentication only).
+
+* **Updated the AES-NI GCM PMD.**
+
+ The AES-NI GCM PMD was migrated from MB library to ISA-L library.
+ The migration entailed the following additional support for:
+
+ * GMAC algorithm.
+ * 256-bit cipher key.
+ * Session-less mode.
+ * Out-of place processing
+ * Scatter-gatter support for chained mbufs (only out-of place and destination
+ mbuf must be contiguous)
+
+* **Added crypto performance test application.**
+
+ A new performance test application allows measuring performance parameters
+ of PMDs available in crypto tree.
+
+* **Added Elastic Flow Distributor library (rte_efd).**
+
+ This new library uses perfect hashing to determine a target/value for a
+ given incoming flow key.
+
+ It does not store the key itself for lookup operations, and therefore,
+ lookup performance is not dependent on the key size. Also, the target/value
+ can be any arbitrary value (8 bits by default). Finally, the storage requirement
+ is much smaller than a hash-based flow table and therefore, it can better fit for
+ CPU cache, being able to scale to millions of flow keys.
+
+ See the :ref:`Elastic Flow Distributor Library <Efd_Library>` documentation in
+ the Programmers Guide document, for more information.
