+* **Added support to free hugepages exactly as originally allocated.**
+
+ Some applications using memory event callbacks (especially for managing
+ RDMA memory regions) require that memory be freed back to the system
+ exactly as it was originally allocated. These applications typically
+ also require that a malloc allocation not span across two separate
+ hugepage allocations. A new ``--match-allocations`` EAL init flag has
+ been added to fulfill both of these requirements.
+
+* **Added API to register external memory in DPDK.**
+
+ A new ``rte_extmem_register``/``rte_extmem_unregister`` API was added to allow
+ chunks of external memory to be registered with DPDK without adding them to
+ the malloc heap.
+
+* **Support for using virtio-user without hugepages**
+
+ The --no-huge mode was augmented to use memfd-backed memory (on systems that
+ support memfd), to allow using virtio-user-based NICs without hugepages.
+
* **Updated the enic driver.**
* Added support for ``RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE`` flag.
+ * Added the handler to get firmware version string.
+ * Added support for multicast filtering.
+
+* **Added a compression performance test tool.**
+
+ Added a new performance test tool to test the compressdev PMD. The tool tests
+ compression ratio and compression throughput.

=========================================================
+* eal: Function ``rte_bsf64`` in ``rte_bitmap.h`` has been renamed to
+ ``rte_bsf64_safe`` and moved to ``rte_common.h``. A new ``rte_bsf64`` function
+ has been added in ``rte_common.h`` that follows convention set by existing
+ ``rte_bsf32`` function.
+
+* eal: Segment fd API on Linux now sets error code to ``ENOTSUP`` in more cases
+ where segment fd API is not expected to be supported:
+
+ - On attempt to get segment fd for an externally allocated memory segment
+ - In cases where memfd support would have been required to provide segment
+ fd's (such as in-memory or no-huge mode)
+
+* eal: Functions ``rte_malloc_dump_stats()``, ``rte_malloc_dump_heaps()`` and
+ ``rte_malloc_get_socket_stats()`` are no longer safe to call concurrently with
+ ``rte_malloc_heap_create()`` or ``rte_malloc_heap_destroy()`` function calls.
+
+* pdump: The ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir()``, the parameter ``path`` of
+ ``rte_pdump_init()`` and enum ``rte_pdump_socktype`` were deprecated
+ since 18.05 and are removed in this release.
