to request the driver to release mbufs from their Tx ring that are no longer
in use, independent of whether or not the ``tx_rs_thresh`` has been crossed.
+* **Added EAL dynamic log framework.**
+
+ Added new APIs to dynamically register named log types, and control
+ the level of each type independently.
+
* **Added descriptor status ethdev API.**
Added a new API to get the status of a descriptor.
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.
