=========================================================
- * Removed duplicated set of commands for RX offloading configuration from app/testpmd:
- “port config all crc-strip|scatter|rx-cksum|rx-timestamp|hw-vlan|hw-vlan-filter|
- hw-vlan-strip|hw-vlan-extend on|off”.
+* Removed duplicated set of commands for Rx offload configuration from testpmd::
+
+ port config all crc-strip|scatter|rx-cksum|rx-timestamp|
+ hw-vlan|hw-vlan-filter|hw-vlan-strip|hw-vlan-extend on|off
- The testpmd commands set that can be used instead in order to enable or disable Rx
- offloading on all Rx queues of a port is:
- "port config <port_id> rx_offload crc_strip|scatter|ipv4_cksum|udp_cksum|tcp_cksum|
- timestamp|vlan_strip|vlan_filter|vlan_extend on|off"

API Changes
* ethdev: changed ``rte_eth_dev_owner_delete`` return value from ``void`` to
``int`` to provide a way to report various error conditions.
+* event: The function ``rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue`` takes an additional
+ input as ``flags``. Flag ``RTE_EVENT_ETH_TX_ADAPTER_ENQUEUE_SAME_DEST`` which
+ has been introduced in this release is used when used when all the packets
+ enqueued in the tx adapter are destined for the same Ethernet port & Tx queue.
