New Features
* Added bus-level parsing of the devargs syntax.
* Kept compatibility with the legacy syntax as parsing fallback.
+* **Added new RSS offload types for IPv4/L4 checksum in RSS flow.**
+
+ Added macros ETH_RSS_IPV4_CHKSUM and ETH_RSS_L4_CHKSUM, now IPv4 and
+ TCP/UDP/SCTP header checksum field can be used as input set for RSS.
+
+* **Updated Broadcom bnxt PMD.**
+
+ * Added flow offload support for Thor.
+ * Implement support for tunnel offload.
+ * Updated HWRM API to version 1.10.2.44
+
+* **Updated Intel iavf driver.**
+
+ * Added Intel iavf support on Windows.
+ * Added IPv4 and L4 (TCP/UDP/SCTP) checksum hash support in RSS flow.
+
+* **Updated Intel ice driver.**
+
+ * Added 1PPS out support by a devargs.
+ * Added IPv4 and L4 (TCP/UDP/SCTP) checksum hash support in RSS flow.
+ * Added DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_TIMESTAMP support.
+
+* **Updated Marvell cnxk ethdev driver.**
+
+ * Added rte_flow support for dual VLAN insert and strip actions.
+ * Added rte_tm support.
+
* **Updated Marvell cnxk crypto PMD.**
* Added AES-CBC SHA1-HMAC support in lookaside protocol (IPsec) for CN10K.
* Added Transport mode support in lookaside protocol (IPsec) for CN10K.
* Added UDP encapsulation support in lookaside protocol (IPsec) for CN10K.
+ * Added support for lookaside protocol (IPsec) offload for CN9K.
+
+* **Added support for event crypto adapter on Marvell CN10K and CN9K.**
+
+ * Added event crypto adapter OP_FORWARD mode support.
+
+* **Updated NXP dpaa_sec crypto PMD.**
+
+ * Added DES-CBC, AES-XCBC-MAC, AES-CMAC and non-HMAC algo support.
+ * Added PDCP short MAC-I support.
+
+* **Updated NXP dpaa2_sec crypto PMD.**
+
+ * Added PDCP short MAC-I support.
+
+* **Added multi-process support for testpmd.**
+
+ Added command-line options to specify total number of processes and
+ current process ID. Each process owns subset of Rx and Tx queues.
+
+* **Updated test-crypto-perf application with new cases.**
+
+ * Added support for asymmetric crypto throughput performance measurement.
+ Only modex is supported for now.
+
+* **Added lookaside protocol (IPsec) tests in dpdk-test.**
+
+ * Added known vector tests (AES-GCM 128, 192, 256).
+ * Added tests to verify error reporting with ICV corruption.
+ * Added tests to verify IV generation.
+ * Added tests to verify UDP encapsulation.
+ * Added tests to validate packets soft expiry.
+ * Added tests to validate packets hard expiry.
+ * Added tests to verify tunnel header verification in IPsec inbound.
Removed Items
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* eal: Removed the deprecated function ``rte_get_master_lcore()``
+ and the iterator macro ``RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_SLAVE``.
+
+* eal: The old api arguments that were deprecated for
+ blacklist/whitelist are removed. Users must use the new
+ block/allow list arguments.
+
+* i40e: Removed i40evf driver.
+ iavf already became the default VF driver for i40e devices,
+ so there is no need to maintain i40evf.
+
API Changes
-----------
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* kvargs: The experimental function ``rte_kvargs_strcmp()`` has been
+ removed. Its usages have been replaced by a new function
+ ``rte_kvargs_get_with_value()``.
+
+* cryptodev: The API rte_cryptodev_pmd_is_valid_dev is modified to
+ rte_cryptodev_is_valid_dev as it can be used by the application as
+ well as PMD to check whether the device is valid or not.
+
+* cryptodev: The rte_cryptodev_pmd.* files are renamed as cryptodev_pmd.*
+ as it is for drivers only and should be private to DPDK, and not
+ installed for app use.
+
+* cryptodev: A ``reserved`` byte from structure ``rte_crypto_op`` was
+ renamed to ``aux_flags`` to indicate warnings and other information from
+ the crypto/security operation. This field will be used to communicate
+ events such as soft expiry with IPsec in lookaside mode.
+
ABI Changes
-----------
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* security: ``rte_security_set_pkt_metadata`` and ``rte_security_get_userdata``
+ routines used by inline outbound and inline inbound security processing were
+ made inline and enhanced to do simple 64-bit set/get for PMDs that do not
+ have much processing in PMD specific callbacks but just 64-bit set/get.
+ This avoids a per packet function pointer jump overhead for such PMDs.
+
+* security: A new option ``iv_gen_disable`` was added in structure
+ ``rte_security_ipsec_sa_options`` to disable IV generation inside PMD,
+ so that application can provide its own IV and test known test vectors.
+
+* security: A new option ``tunnel_hdr_verify`` was added in structure
+ ``rte_security_ipsec_sa_options`` to indicate whether outer header
+ verification need to be done as part of inbound IPsec processing.
+
+* security: A new structure ``rte_security_ipsec_lifetime`` was added to
+ replace ``esn_soft_limit`` in IPsec configuration structure
+ ``rte_security_ipsec_xform`` to allow applications to configure SA soft
+ and hard expiry limits. Limits can be either in number of packets or bytes.
