   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.
