+* **Updated Cisco enic driver.**
+
+  * Added support for VF representors with single-queue Tx/Rx and flow API
+  * Added support for egress PORT_ID action
+  * Added support for non-zero priorities for group 0 flows
+  * Added support for VXLAN decap combined with VLAN pop
+
+* **Extended flow-perf application.**
+
+  * Started supporting user order instead of bit mask:
+    Now the user can create any structure of rte_flow
+    using flow performance application with any order,
+    moreover the app also now starts to support inner
+    items matching as well.
+  * Added header modify actions.
+  * Added flag action.
+  * Added raw encap/decap actions.
+  * Added VXLAN encap/decap actions.
+  * Added ICMP and ICMP6 matching items.
+  * Added option to set port mask for insertion/deletion:
+    ``--portmask=N``
+    where N represents the hexadecimal bitmask of ports used.
