+* **Updated mlx5 driver.**
+
+  Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
+
+   * Enabled PMD to run on top of upstream linux kernel and rdma-core libs.
+     By that removed the dependency on specific Mellanox OFED libraries.
+   * Improved PMD latency performance.
+   * Improved PMD memory footprint.
+   * Supported vectorized Rx/Tx burst for ARMv8.
+   * Supported secondary process.
+   * Supported flow counters.
+   * Supported Rx hardware timestamp offload.
+   * Supported device removal event.
+
 * **Added SoftNIC PMD.**
 
   Added new SoftNIC PMD. This virtual device offers applications a software
   fallback support for traffic management.
 
+* **Added support for NXP DPAA Devices.**
+
+  Added support for NXP's DPAA devices - LS104x series. This includes:
+
+  * DPAA Bus driver
+  * DPAA Mempool driver for supporting offloaded packet memory pool
+  * DPAA PMD for DPAA devices
+
+  See the "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details of
