 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
+* The EAL function pci_config_space_set is deprecated in release 16.04
+  and will be removed from 16.07.
+  Macros CONFIG_RTE_PCI_CONFIG, CONFIG_RTE_PCI_EXTENDED_TAG and
+  CONFIG_RTE_PCI_MAX_READ_REQUEST_SIZE will be removed.
+  The /sys entries extended_tag and max_read_request_size created by igb_uio
+  will be removed.
+
 * The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
   ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
   tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
 
-* ABI changes is planned for the reta field in struct rte_eth_rss_reta_entry64
-  which handles at most 256 entries (8 bits) while newer NICs support larger
-  tables (512 entries).
-  It should be integrated in release 2.3.
+* The ethdev structures rte_eth_link, rte_eth_dev_info and rte_eth_conf
+  must be updated to support 100G link and to have a cleaner link speed API.
 
-* The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
-  RED actions.
+* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow in order to support
+  extend flow director's input set. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI
+  changes, but release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
 
-* librte_pipeline: The prototype for the pipeline input port, output port
-  and table action handlers will be updated:
-  the pipeline parameter will be added, the packets mask parameter will be
-  either removed (for input port action handler) or made input-only.
+* ABI changes are planned for rte_eth_ipv4_flow and rte_eth_ipv6_flow to
+  include more fields to be matched against. The release 2.2 does not
+  contain these ABI changes, but release 2.3 will.
 
-* ABI changes are planned in cmdline buffer size to allow the use of long
-  commands (such as RETA update in testpmd).  This should impact
-  CMDLINE_PARSE_RESULT_BUFSIZE, STR_TOKEN_SIZE and RDLINE_BUF_SIZE.
-  It should be integrated in release 2.3.
+* ABI changes are planned for adding four new flow types. This impacts
+  RTE_ETH_FLOW_MAX. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes,
+  but release 2.3 will.
