* **Added keepalive support to EAL and example application.**
+* **Added experimental cryptodev API**
+
+ The cryptographic processing of packet is provided as a preview
+ with two drivers for:
+
+ * Intel QuickAssist devices
+ * Intel AES-NI multi-buffer library
+
+ Due to its experimental state, the API may change without prior notice.
+
* **Added ethdev API to support IEEE1588.**
Added functions to read, write and adjust system time in the NIC.
Like mlx4, this PMD is only available for Linux and is disabled by default
due to external dependencies (libibverbs and libmlx5).
+* **Added driver for Netronome nfp-6xxx card.**
+
+ Support for using Netronome nfp-6xxx with PCI VFs.
+
* **Added virtual szedata2 driver for COMBO cards.**
Added virtual PMD for COMBO-100G and COMBO-80G cards.
* **Added port hotplug support to xenvirt.**
+* **Added ethtool shim and sample application.**
+
+* **Added experimental performance thread example application.**
+
+ The application demonstrates L3 fowarding with different threading
+ models: pthreads, cgroups, or lighweight threads. The example inludes
+ a simple cooperative scheduler.
+
+ Due to its experimental state this application may change without notice.
+ The application is supported only for Linux x86_64.

Resolved Issues
---------------
VF needs the PF interrupt support initialized even if not started.
+* **igb: Fixed VF MAC address when using with DPDK PF.**
+
+ Assign a random MAC address in VF when not assigned by PF.
+
* **ixgbe: Fixed issue with X550 DCB.**
Fixed a DCB issue with x550 where for 8 TCs (Traffic Classes), if a packet
Fixed the issue of not freeing memzone in the call to free the memory for
adminq DMA.
+* **mlx: Fixed driver loading.**
+
+ The mlx drivers were unable to load when built as a shared library,
+ due to a missing symbol in mempool library.
+
* **vhost: Fixed Qemu shutdown.**
Fixed issue with libvirt ``virsh destroy`` not killing the VM.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
+* **l3fwd: Fixed crash with IPv6.**
+
+* **vhost_xen: Fixed compile error.**
+
Other
~~~~~
* librte_table LPM: A new parameter to hold the table name will be added to
the LPM table parameter structure.
+* librte_table hash: The key mask parameter is added to the hash table
+ parameter structure for 8-byte key and 16-byte key extendible bucket
+ and LRU tables.
+
* librte_port: Macros to access the packet meta-data stored within the packet
buffer has been adjusted to cover the packet mbuf structure.
