   * Removed the field ``opaque_data``.
   * Pointer to ``rte_crypto_sym_op`` has been replaced with a zero length array.
 
+* **Updated cryptodev library.**
+
+  * Added AEAD algorithm specific functions and structures, so it is not
+    necessary to use a combination of cipher and authentication
+    structures anymore.
+  * Added helper functions for crypto device driver identification.
+
+* **Updated dpaa2_sec crypto PMD.**
+
+  Added support for AES-GCM and AES-CTR
+
+* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+  The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
+
+    * 12-byte IV on AES Counter Mode, apart from the previous 16-byte IV.
+
+* **Updated the AES-NI GCM PMD.**
+
+  The AES-NI GCM PMD was migrated from the ISA-L library to the Multi Buffer
+  library, as the latter library has Scatter Gather List support
+  now. The migration entailed adding additional support for:
+
+  * 192-bit key.
