=======================================================
+* **Added Alpine Linux with musl libc support**
+
+ The distribution Alpine Linux, using musl libc and busybox,
+ got initial support starting with building DPDK without modification.
+
* **Added phase-fair lock.**
Phase-fair lock provides fairness guarantees.
net, crypto and event PMD's.
* Added mempool/cnxk driver which provides the support for the integrated
mempool device.
+ * Added event/cnxk driver which provides the support for integrated event
+ device.
* **Enhanced ethdev representor syntax.**
* Added new field ``queue_state`` to ``rte_eth_txq_info`` structure to
provide indicated Tx queue state.
-* **Added support for meter PPS profile.**
+* **Updated meter API.**
- Added packet mode in the meter profile parameters data structures
- to support metering traffic by packet per second (PPS),
- in addition to the initial bytes per second (BPS) mode (value 0).
+ * Added packet mode in the meter profile parameters data structures
+ to support metering traffic by packet per second (PPS),
+ in addition to the initial bytes per second (BPS) mode (value 0).
+ * Added support of pre-defined meter policy via flow action list per color.
* **Added packet integrity match to flow rules.**
* Added conntrack item and action for stateful connection offload.
+* **Updated Amazon ENA PMD.**
+
+ The new driver version (v2.3.0) introduced bug fixes and improvements,
+ including:
+
+ * Changed memcpy mapping to the dpdk-optimized version.
+
* **Updated Arkville PMD driver.**
Updated Arkville net driver with new features and improvements, including:
Updated the Mellanox mlx5 driver with new features and improvements, including:
* Added support for VXLAN and NVGRE encap as sample actions.
+ * Added support for flow COUNT action handle.
* Support push VLAN on ingress traffic and pop VLAN on egress traffic in E-Switch mode.
+ * Added support for pre-defined meter policy API.
+ * Added support for ASO (Advanced Steering Operation) meter.
+ * Added support for ASO metering by PPS (packet per second).
+ * Added support for the monitor policy of Power Management API.
+ * Added support for connection tracking.
* **Updated NXP DPAA driver.**
* Added support for txgbevf PMD.
* Support device arguments to handle AN training for backplane NICs.
+ * Added support for VXLAN-GPE.
* **Enabled vmxnet3 PMD on Windows.**
+* **Enabled libpcap-based PMD on Windows.**
+
+ A libpcap distribution, such as Npcap or WinPcap, is required to run the PMD.
+
* **Updated the AF_XDP driver.**
* Added support for preferred busy polling.
+* **Added support for vhost async packed ring data path.**
+
+ Added packed ring support for async vhost.
+
* **Added support of multiple data-units in cryptodev API.**
The cryptodev library has been enhanced to allow operations on multiple
the events across multiple stages.
* This also reduced the scheduling overhead on a event device.
+* **Updated Intel DLB2 driver.**
+
+ * Added support for v2.5 device.
+
* **Added Predictable RSS functionality to the Toeplitz hash library.**
Added feature for finding collisions of the Toeplitz hash function -
* Added a command line option to configure forced speed for Ethernet port.
``dpdk-testpmd -- --eth-link-speed N``
+ * Added command to show link flow control info.
+ ``show port (port_id) flow_ctrl``
* Added command to display Rx queue used descriptor count.
``show port (port_id) rxq (queue_id) desc used count``
+ * Added command to cleanup a Tx queue's mbuf on a port.
+ ``port cleanup (port_id) txq (queue_id) (free_cnt)``
* Added command to dump internal representation information of single flow.
``flow dump (port_id) rule (rule_id)``
+ * Added commands to create and delete meter policy.
+ ``add port meter policy (port_id) (policy_id) ...``
+ * Added commands to construct conntrack context and relevant indirect
+ action handle creation, update for conntrack action as well as conntrack
+ item matching.
* **Added support for the FIB lookup method in the l3fwd example app.**
The action ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SHARED`` is deprecated and can be
replaced with ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_INDIRECT``.
+* ethdev: The experimental function ``rte_mtr_policer_actions_update()``,
+ the enum ``rte_mtr_policer_action``, and the struct members
+ ``policer_action_recolor_supported`` and ``policer_action_drop_supported``
+ have been removed.
+
+* vhost: The vhost library currently populates received mbufs from a virtio
+ driver with Tx offload flags while not filling Rx offload flags.
+ While this behavior is arguable, it is kept untouched.
+ A new flag ``RTE_VHOST_USER_NET_COMPLIANT_OL_FLAGS`` has been added to ask
+ for a behavior compliant with the mbuf offload API.
+
+* stack: Lock-free ``rte_stack`` no longer silently ignores push and pop when
+ it's not supported on the current platform. Instead ``rte_stack_create()``
+ fails and ``rte_errno`` is set to ``ENOTSUP``.
+
+* raw/ioat: The experimental function ``rte_ioat_completed_ops()`` now
+ supports two additional parameters, ``status`` and ``num_unsuccessful``,
+ to allow the reporting of errors from hardware when performing copy
+ operations.
