=======================================================
+* **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 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.
+ * Added support for E-Switch mirroring and jump action in the same flow.
+
+* **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.
+
+ See the :doc:`../compressdevs/mlx5` for more details.
+
+* **Added support for build-time checking of header includes.**
+
+ A new build option ``check_includes`` has been added, which, when enabled,
+ will perform build-time checking on DPDK public header files, to ensure none
+ are missing dependent header includes. This feature, disabled by default, is
+ intended for use by developers contributing to the DPDK SDK itself, and is
+ integrated into the build scripts and automated CI for patch contributions.

Removed Items
-------------
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* The internal header files ``rte_ethdev_driver.h``, ``rte_ethdev_vdev.h`` and
+ ``rte_ethdev_pci.h`` are no longer installed as part of the DPDK
+ ``ninja install`` action and are renamed to ``ethdev_driver.h``,
+ ``ethdev_vdev.h`` and ``ethdev_pci.h`` respectively in the source tree, to
+ reflect the fact that they are non-public headers.
+
+* The internal header files ``rte_eventdev_pmd.h``, ``rte_eventdev_pmd_vdev.h``
+ and ``rte_eventdev_pmd_pci.h`` are no longer installed as part of the DPDK
+ ``ninja install`` action and are renamed to ``eventdev_pmd.h``,
+ ``eventdev_pmd_vdev.h`` and ``eventdev_pmd_pci.h`` respectively in the source
+ tree, to reflect the fact that they are non-public headers.
+
* Removed support for NetXtreme devices belonging to ``BCM573xx and
BCM5740x`` families. Specifically the support for the following Broadcom
PCI device IDs ``0x16c8, 0x16c9, 0x16ca, 0x16ce, 0x16cf, 0x16df, 0x16d0,``
``0x16d1, 0x16d2, 0x16d4, 0x16d5, 0x16e7, 0x16e8, 0x16e9`` has been removed.
+* The ``check-includes.sh`` script for checking DPDK header files has been
+ removed, being replaced by the ``check_includes`` build option described
+ above.
+
+
API Changes
-----------
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* 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.
+
