* Added support for Solarflare XtremeScale X2xxx family adapters.
* Added support for NVGRE, VXLAN and GENEVE filters in flow API.
* Added support for DROP action in flow API.
+ * Added support for equal stride super-buffer Rx mode (X2xxx only).
+ * Added support for MARK and FLAG actions in flow API (X2xxx only).
* **Added Ethernet poll mode driver for AMD XGBE devices.**
* **Updated szedata2 PMD.**
Added support for new NFB-200G2QL card.
+ New API was introduced in the libsze2 library which the szedata2 PMD depends
+ on thus the new version of the library was needed.
+ New versions of the packages are available and the minimum required version
+ is 4.4.1.
* **Added support for Broadcom NetXtreme-S (BCM58800) family of controllers (aka Stingray)**
* AES-CMAC (128-bit key).
+* **Added Compressdev Library, a generic compression service library.**
+
+ The compressdev library provides an API for offload of compression and
+ decompression operations to hardware or software accelerator devices.
+
+* **Added a new compression poll mode driver using Intels ISA-L.**
+
+ Added the new ``ISA-L`` compression driver, for compression and decompression
+ operations in software.
+
* **Added the Event Timer Adapter Library.**
The Event Timer Adapter Library extends the event-based model by introducing
timer expiry events. This new type of event is scheduled by an event device
along with existing types of events.
+* **Added OcteonTx TIM Driver (Event timer adapter).**
+
+ The OcteonTx Timer block enables software to schedule events for a future
+ time, it is exposed to an application via Event timer adapter library.
+
+ See the :doc:`../eventdevs/octeontx` guide for more details
+
+* **Added Event Crypto Adapter Library.**
+
+ Added the Event Crypto Adapter Library. This library extends the
+ event-based model by introducing APIs that allow applications to
+ enqueue/dequeue crypto operations to/from cryptodev as events scheduled
+ by an event device.
+
+* **Added DPAA2 QDMA Driver (in rawdev).**
+
+ The DPAA2 QDMA is an implementation of the rawdev API, that provide means
+ to initiate a DMA transaction from CPU. The initiated DMA is performed
+ without CPU being involved in the actual DMA transaction.
+
+ See the :doc:`../rawdevs/dpaa2_qdma` guide for more details.
+
+* **Added DPAA2 Command Interface Driver (in rawdev).**
+
+ The DPAA2 CMDIF is an implementation of the rawdev API, that provides
+ communication between the GPP and NXP's QorIQ based AIOP Block (Firmware).
+ Advanced IO Processor i.e. AIOP is clusters of programmable RISC engines
+ optimised for flexible networking and I/O operations. The communication
+ between GPP and AIOP is achieved via using DPCI devices exposed by MC for
+ GPP <--> AIOP interaction.
+
+ See the :doc:`../rawdevs/dpaa2_cmdif` guide for more details.
+
* **Added device event monitor framework.**
Added a general device event monitor framework at EAL, for device dynamic management.
* PF and VF pattern items are now only accepted by PMDs that implement
them (bnxt and i40e) when the transfer attribute is also present for
consistency.
+ * Pattern item PORT was renamed PHY_PORT to avoid confusion with DPDK port
+ IDs.
+ * An action counterpart to the PHY_PORT pattern item was added in order to
+ redirect matching traffic to a specific physical port.
+ * PORT_ID pattern item and actions were added to match and target DPDK
+ port IDs at a higher level than PHY_PORT.
+
+* ethdev: change flow APIs regarding count action:
+ * ``rte_flow_create()`` API count action now requires the ``struct rte_flow_action_count``.
+ * ``rte_flow_query()`` API parameter changed from action type to action structure.
ABI Changes
sanity fix in the VLAN pattern item (``struct rte_flow_item_vlan``) and
new transfer attribute (``struct rte_flow_attr``).
+**New parameter added to rte_bbdev_op_cap_turbo_dec.**
+
+ A new parameter ``max_llr_modulus`` has been added to
+ ``rte_bbdev_op_cap_turbo_dec`` structure to specify maximal LLR (likelihood
+ ratio) absolute value.
+
+* **BBdev Queue Groups split into UL/DL Groups**
+
+ Queue Groups have been split into UL/DL Groups in Turbo Software Driver.
+ They are independent for Decode/Encode. ``rte_bbdev_driver_info`` reflects
+ introduced changes.
