Added the new octeontx ssovf eventdev driver for OCTEONTX devices. See the
"Event Device Drivers" document for more details on this new driver.
+* **Added information metric library.**
+
+ A library that allows information metrics to be added and updated
+ by producers, typically other libraries, for later retrieval by
+ consumers such as applications. It is intended to provide a
+ reporting mechanism that is independent of other libraries such
+ as ethdev.
+
+* **Added bit-rate calculation library.**
+
+ A library that can be used to calculate device bit-rates. Calculated
+ bitrates are reported using the metrics library.
+
+* **Added latency stats library.**
+
+ A library that measures packet latency. The collected statistics are jitter
+ and latency. For latency the minimum, average, and maximum is measured.
+
+* **Updated the Cryptodev Scheduler PMD.**
+
+ * Added packet-size based distribution mode, which distributes the enqueued
+ crypto operations among two slaves, based on their data lengths.
+ * Added fail-over scheduling mode, which enqueues crypto operations to a
+ primary slave first. Then, any operation that cannot be enqueued is
+ enqueued to a secondary slave.
+
+* **Updated the QAT PMD.**
+
+ The QAT PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+ * AES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
+ * DES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
+ * ZUC EEA3/EIA3 algorithms.
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+ The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+ * AES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
+
+* **Updated the OpenSSL PMD.**
+
+ The OpenSSL PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+ * DES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
Resolved Issues
---------------
The order and size of the fields in the ``mbuf`` structure changed,
as described in the `New Features`_ section.
+* The ``rte_cryptodev_info.sym`` structure has new field ``max_nb_sessions_per_qp``
+ to support drivers which may support limited number of sessions per queue_pair.
+
Removed Items
-------------
* KNI vhost support removed.
+* dpdk_qat sample application removed.
