+* **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 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:
