      =======================================================
 
+* **Added new ethdev API for PMD power management.**
+
+  Added ``rte_eth_get_monitor_addr()``, to be used in conjunction with
+  ``rte_power_monitor()`` to enable automatic power management for PMDs.
+
+* **Added Ethernet PMD power management helper API.**
+
+  A new helper API has been added to make using Ethernet PMD power management
+  easier for the user: ``rte_power_ethdev_pmgmt_queue_enable()``. Three power
+  management schemes are supported initially:
+
+  * Power saving based on UMWAIT instruction (x86 only)
+  * Power saving based on ``rte_pause()`` (generic) or TPAUSE instruction (x86 only)
+  * Power saving based on frequency scaling through the ``librte_power`` library
+
+* **Added GENEVE TLV option in rte_flow.**
+
+  Added support for matching and raw encap/decap of GENEVE TLV option.
+
+* **Added support of modify field action in the flow API.**
+
+  Added modify action support to perform various operations on
+  any arbitrary header field (as well as mark, metadata or tag values):
+  ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_MODIFY_FIELD``.
+  Supported operations are: overwriting a field with the content from
+  another field, addition and subtraction using an immediate value.
+
+* **Updated Broadcom bnxt driver.**
+
+  Updated the Broadcom bnxt driver with fixes and improvements, including:
+
+  * Added support for Stingray2 device.
+
+* **Updated Cisco enic driver.**
+
+  * Added support for 64B completion queue entries
+
+* **Updated Intel ice driver.**
+
+  * Added Double VLAN support for DCF switch QinQ filtering.
+
+* **Updated Mellanox mlx5 driver.**
+
+  Updated the Mellanox mlx5 driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+  * Introduced basic support on Windows.
+  * Added GTP PDU session container matching and raw encap/decap.
+  * Added support for RSS action in the sample sub-actions list.
+
+* **Updated Wangxun txgbe driver.**
+
+  Updated the Wangxun txgbe driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+  * Add support for generic flow API.
+  * Add support for traffic manager.
+  * Add support for IPsec.
+
+* **Updated GSO support.**
+
+  * Added inner UDP/IPv4 support for VXLAN IPv4 GSO.
+
+* **Added enqueue & dequeue callback APIs for cryptodev library.**
+
+  Cryptodev library is added with enqueue & dequeue callback APIs to
+  enable applications to add/remove user callbacks which gets called
+  for every enqueue/dequeue operation.
+
+* **Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD.**
+
+  * Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD lookaside protocol offload for IPsec with
+    ESN and anti-replay support.
+  * Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD with CN98xx support.
+  * Added support for aes-cbc sha1-hmac cipher combination in OCTEON TX2 crypto
+    PMD lookaside protocol offload for IPsec.
+  * Added support for aes-cbc sha256-128-hmac cipher combination in OCTEON TX2
+    crypto PMD lookaside protocol offload for IPsec.
+
+* **Added mlx5 compress PMD.**
+
+  Added a new compress PMD driver for Bluefield 2 adapters.

+* config: Removed the old macros, included in ``rte_config.h``,
+  to indicate which DPDK libraries and drivers are built.
+  The new macros are generated by meson in a standardized format:
+  ``RTE_LIB_<NAME>`` and ``RTE_<CLASS>_<NAME>``, where ``NAME`` is
+  the upper-case component name, e.g. ``EAL``, ``ETHDEV``, ``VIRTIO``,
+  and ``CLASS`` is the upper-case driver class, e.g. ``NET``, ``CRYPTO``.
+
+* cryptodev: The structure ``rte_cryptodev`` has been updated with pointers
+  for adding enqueue and dequeue callbacks.
