SR-IOV option in Hyper-V and Azure. This is an alternative to the previous
vdev_netvsc, tap, and failsafe drivers combination.
+* **Updated failsafe driver.**
+
+ Updated the failsafe driver including the following changes:
+
+ * Support for Rx and Tx queues start and stop.
+ * Support for Rx and Tx queues deferred start.
+ * Support for runtime Rx and Tx queues setup.
+ * Support multicast MAC address set.
+
+* **Added Event Ethernet Tx Adapter.**
+
+ Added event ethernet Tx adapter library that provides configuration and
+ data path APIs for the ethernet transmit stage of an event driven packet
+ processing application. These APIs abstract the implementation of the
+ transmit stage and allow the application to use eventdev PMD support or
+ a common implementation.
+
+* **Added Distributed Software Eventdev PMD.**
+
+ Added the new Distributed Software Event Device (DSW), which is a
+ pure-software eventdev driver distributing the work of scheduling
+ among all eventdev ports and the lcores using them. DSW, compared to
+ the SW eventdev PMD, sacrifices load balancing performance to
+ gain better event scheduling throughput and scalability.
+
* **Added ability to switch queue deferred start flag on testpmd app.**
Added a console command to testpmd app, giving ability to switch
flag the MAC can be properly configured in any case. This is particularly
important for bonding.
+* The default behaviour of CRC strip offload changed. Without any specific Rx
+ offload flag, default behavior by PMD is now to strip CRC.
+ DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP offload flag has been removed.
+ To request keeping CRC, application should set ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC`` Rx
+ offload.
