Linux uevent is supported as backend of this device event notification framework.
+* **Added support for procinfo and pdump on eth vdev.**
+
+ For ethernet virtual devices (like tap, pcap, etc), with this feature, we can get
+ stats/xstats on shared memory from secondary process, and also pdump packets on
+ those virtual devices.

API Changes
-----------
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=========================================================
+* service cores: no longer marked as experimental.
+
+ The service cores functions are no longer marked as experimental, and have
+ become part of the normal DPDK API and ABI. Any future ABI changes will be
+ announced at least one release before the ABI change is made. There are no
+ ABI breaking changes planned.
+
+* eal: ``rte_lcore_has_role()`` return value changed.
+
+ This function now returns true or false, respectively,
+ rather than 0 or <0 for success or failure.
+ It makes use of the function more intuitive.
+
* mempool: capability flags and related functions have been removed.
Flags ``MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG`` and
Now the new driver callbacks ``calc_mem_size`` and ``populate`` may be
used to achieve it without specific knowledge in the generic code.
+* mempool: xmem functions have been deprecated:
+
+ - ``rte_mempool_xmem_create``
+ - ``rte_mempool_xmem_size``
+ - ``rte_mempool_xmem_usage``
+ - ``rte_mempool_populate_iova_tab``
+
* mbuf: The control mbuf API has been removed in v18.05. The impacted
functions and macros are:
Callback ``get_capabilities`` has been removed from ``rte_mempool_ops``
since its features are covered by ``calc_mem_size`` and ``populate``
callbacks.
+ Callback ``register_memory_area`` has been removed from ``rte_mempool_ops``
+ since the new callback ``populate`` may be used instead of it.
* **Additional fields in rte_eth_dev_info.**
