New Features
------------
+* **Extended Statistics**
+
+ Define extended statistics naming scheme to store metadata in the name
+ string name of each statistic, refer to the Extended Statistics section
+ of the programmers guide. Implemented the extended stats API for these
+ PMDs:
+
+ * igb
+ * igbvf
+ * i40e
+ * i40evf
+ * fm10k
+ * virtio
+
+* **Added API in ethdev to retrieve RX/TX queue information.**
+
+ * Add the ability for the upper layer to query RX/TX queue information.
+ * Add into rte_eth_dev_info new fields to represent information about
+ RX/TX descriptors min/max/align numbers per queue for the device.
+
+* **Added RSS dynamic configuration to bonding.**
+
* **Added e1000 Rx interrupt support.**
* **Added igb TSO support for both PF and VF.**
* **Added i40e flow control support.**
+* **Added DCB support to i40e PF driver.**
+
+* **Added RSS/FD input set granularity on Intel X710/XL710.**
+
+* **Added fm10k vector RX/TX.**
+
* **Added fm10k TSO support for both PF and VF.**
+* **Added fm10k VMDQ support.**
+
* **New NIC Boulder Rapid support.**
Boulder Rapid is a new NIC of Intel's fm10k family.
* Added support for Jumbo Frames.
* Optimize forwarding performance for Chelsio T5 40GbE cards.
+* **Added support for Mellanox ConnectX-4 adapters (mlx5).**
+
+ The mlx5 poll-mode driver implements support for Mellanox ConnectX-4 EN
+ and Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx EN families of 10/25/40/50/100 Gb/s adapters.
+
+ Like mlx4, this PMD is only available for Linux and is disabled by default
+ due to external dependencies (libibverbs and libmlx5).
+
+* **Enhanced support for virtio driver.**
+
+ * Virtio ring layout optimization (fixed avail ring)
+ * Vector RX
+ * Simple TX
+
* **Added vhost-user multiple queue support.**
+* **Added port hotplug support to vmxnet3.**
+
+* **Added port hotplug support to xenvirt.**
+
+
Resolved Issues
---------------
Fixed i40e issue that occurred when a DPDK application didn't initialize
ports if memory wasn't available on socket 0.
+* **i40e: Fixed maximum of 64 queues per port.**
+
+ Fixed the issue in i40e of cannot supporting more than 64 queues per port,
+ though hardware actually supports that. The real number of queues may vary,
+ as long as the total number of queues used in PF, VFs, VMDq and FD does not
+ exceeds the hardware maximum.
+
* **vhost: Fixed Qemu shutdown.**
Fixed issue with libvirt ``virsh destroy`` not killing the VM.
* The deprecated flow director API is removed.
It was replaced by rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl().
+* The dcb_queue is renamed to dcb_tc in following dcb configuration
+ structures: rte_eth_dcb_rx_conf, rte_eth_dcb_tx_conf,
+ rte_eth_vmdq_dcb_conf, rte_eth_vmdq_dcb_tx_conf.
+
* The function rte_eal_pci_close_one() is removed.
It was replaced by rte_eal_pci_detach().
* The ethdev flow director entries for SCTP were changed.
It was already done in 2.1 for CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
+* The size of the ethdev structure rte_eth_hash_filter_info is changed
+ by adding a new element rte_eth_input_set_conf in an union.
+
+* The new fields rx_desc_lim and tx_desc_lim are added into rte_eth_dev_info
+ structure.
+
+* The maximum number of queues per port CONFIG_RTE_MAX_QUEUES_PER_PORT is
+ increased to 1024.
+
* The mbuf structure was changed to support unified packet type.
It was already done in 2.1 for CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
