=========================================================
+* **Added MCS lock.**
+
+ MCS lock provides scalability by spinning on a CPU/thread local variable
+ which avoids expensive cache bouncings.
+ It provides fairness by maintaining a list of acquirers and passing
+ the lock to each CPU/thread in the order they acquired the lock.
+
* **Updated the EAL Pseudo-random Number Generator.**
The lrand48()-based rte_rand() function is replaced with a
* Updated the packet header modification feature. Added support of TCP header
sequence number and acknowledgment number modification.
+ * Added support for match on ICMP/ICMP6 code and type.
* **Updated Solarflare network PMD.**
of via software, reducing cycles spent copying large blocks of data in
applications.
+* **Added Marvell OCTEON TX2 drivers.**
+
+ Added the new ``ethdev``, ``eventdev``, ``mempool``, ``eventdev Rx adapter``,
+ ``eventdev Tx adapter``, ``eventdev Timer adapter`` and ``rawdev DMA``
+ drivers for various HW coprocessors available in ``OCTEON TX2`` SoC.

+
* **Introduced NTB PMD.**
Added a PMD for Intel NTB (Non-transparent Bridge). This PMD implemented
handshake between two separate hosts and can share local memory for peer
host to directly access.
+* **Updated IPSec library Header Reconstruction.**
+
+ Updated the IPSec library with ECN and DSCP field header reconstruction
+ feature followed by RFC4301. The IPSec-secgw sample application is also
+ updated to support this feature by default.
+
* **Updated telemetry library for global metrics support.**
Updated ``librte_telemetry`` to fetch the global metrics from the
Added telemetry mode to l3fwd-power application to report
application level busyness, empty and full polls of rte_eth_rx_burst().
+* **Updated the pdump application.**
+
+ Add support for pdump to exit with primary process.

Removed Items
-------------
announced at least one release before the ABI change is made. There are no
ABI breaking changes planned.
+* ip_frag: IP fragmentation library converts input mbuf into fragments
+ using input MTU size via ``rte_ipv4_fragment_packet`` interface.
+ Once fragmentation is done, each ``mbuf->ol_flags`` are set to enable IP
+ checksum H/W offload irrespective of the platform capability.
+ Cleared IP checksum H/W offload flag from the library. The application must
+ set this flag if it is supported by the platform and application wishes to
+ use it.
+
+* ip_frag: IP reassembly library converts the list of fragments into a
+ reassembled packet via ``rte_ipv4_frag_reassemble_packet`` interface.
+ Once reassembly is done, ``mbuf->ol_flags`` are set to enable IP checksum H/W
+ offload irrespective of the platform capability. Cleared IP checksum H/W
+ offload flag from the library. The application must set this flag if it is
+ supported by the platform and application wishes to use it.
