"Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details on this new
driver.
+* **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
+ this new driver.
+
* **nfp: Added PF support.**
Previously Netronome's NFP PMD had just support for VFs. PF support is
The size of internal device name is increased to 64 characters
to allow for storing longer bus specific name.
+* **Ethdev flag RTE_ETH_DEV_DETACHABLE was removed**
+
+ This flag is not necessary anymore, with the new hotplug implementation.
+ It is now removed from the ether library. Its semantic is expressed at the bus
+ and PMD level.
+
* **Service cores API updated for usability**
The service cores API has been changed, removing pointers from the API
