+* **Add support to offload more flow match and actions for CXGBE PMD**
+
+ Flow API support has been enhanced for CXGBE Poll Mode Driver to offload:
+
+ * Match items: destination MAC address.
+ * Action items: push/pop/rewrite vlan header.
+
+* **Added a devarg to use the latest supported vector path in i40e.**
+ A new devarg ``use-latest-supported-vec`` was introduced to allow users to
+ choose the latest vector path that the platform supported. For example, users
+ can use AVX2 vector path on BDW/HSW to get better performance.
+
+* **Added support for SR-IOV in netvsc PMD.**
+
+ The ``netvsc`` poll mode driver now supports the Accelerated Networking
+ 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 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
+ ``rx_deferred_start`` or ``tx_deferred_start`` flag of the specified queue of
+ the specified port. The port must be stopped before the command call in order
+ to reconfigure queues.

=========================================================
+* mbuf: The ``__rte_mbuf_raw_free()`` and ``__rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg()``
+ functions were deprecated since 17.05 and are replaced by
+ ``rte_mbuf_raw_free()`` and ``rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg()``.
+
+* A new device flag, RTE_ETH_DEV_NOLIVE_MAC_ADDR, changes the order of
+ actions inside rte_eth_dev_start regarding MAC set. Some NICs do not
+ support MAC changes once the port has started and with this new device
+ 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.
