* **Added virtio crypto PMD.**
- Added a new poll mode driver for virtio crypto devices.
+ Added a new poll mode driver for virtio crypto devices, which provides
+ AES-CBC ciphering and AES-CBC with HMAC-SHA1 algorithm-chaining. See the
+ :doc:`../cryptodevs/virtio` crypto driver guide for more details on
+ this new driver.
* **Added AMD CCP Crypto PMD.**
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.
=========================================================
+* mempool: capability flags and related functions have been removed.
+
+ Flags ``MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG`` and
+ ``MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS`` were used by octeontx mempool
+ driver to customize generic mempool library behaviour.
+ 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:
structure and the offset of the fields remains the same on platforms
with 64B cache line, but change on other platforms.
+* mempool: ops have changed.
+
+ A new callback ``calc_mem_size`` has been added to ``rte_mempool_ops``
+ to allow to customize required memory size calculation.
+ A new callback ``populate`` has been added to ``rte_mempool_ops``
+ to allow to customize objects population.
+ 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.**
The ``rte_eth_dev_info`` structure has had two extra entries appended to the
librte_latencystats.so.1
librte_lpm.so.2
+ librte_mbuf.so.4
- librte_mempool.so.3
+ + librte_mempool.so.4
+ librte_meter.so.2
librte_metrics.so.1
librte_net.so.1
