+  * QinQ is not supported in Vector Mode on the i40e PMD.
+  * Vector Mode must be disabled when using the QinQ Cloud Filter.

   Added poll mode driver support for Cavium LiquidIO II server adapter VFs.
 
+* **Added Atomic Rules Arkville PMD.**
+
+  Added a new poll mode driver for the Arkville family of
+  devices from Atomic Rules.   The net/ark PMD supports line-rate
+  agnostic, multi-queue data movement on Arkville core FPGA instances.

+* **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.
+
+* **Added NXP DPAA2 SEC crypto PMD.**
+
+  A new "dpaa2_sec" hardware based crypto PMD for NXP DPAA2 devices has been
+  added. See the "Crypto Device Drivers" document for more details on this
+  driver.
+
+* **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.
+  * Added mode specific option support, so each scheduleing mode can
+    now be configured individually by the new added API.

+* **Updated the QAT PMD.**
+
+  The QAT PMD has been updated with additional support for:
