 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
-* Significant ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_dev to support up to
-  1024 queues per port. This change will be in release 2.2.
-  There is no backward compatibility planned from release 2.2.
-  All binaries will need to be rebuilt from release 2.2.
+* 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:
-  imissed, ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
+  ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
   tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
 
-* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow_ext in order to support
-  flow director filtering in VF. The release 2.1 does not contain these ABI
-  changes, but release 2.2 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
+* 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.
 
-* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_filter and
-  rte_eth_fdir_masks in order to support new flow director modes,
-  MAC VLAN and Cloud, on x550. The MAC VLAN mode means the MAC and
-  VLAN are monitored. The Cloud mode is for VxLAN and NVGRE, and
-  the tunnel type, TNI/VNI, inner MAC and inner VLAN are monitored.
-  The release 2.2 will contain these changes without backwards compatibility.
+* 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.
 
-* ABI changes are planned for struct virtio_net in order to support vhost-user
-  multiple queues feature.
-  It should be integrated in release 2.2 without backward compatibility.
+* 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.
 
-* The scheduler hierarchy structure (rte_sched_port_hierarchy) will change to
-  allow for a larger number of subport entries.
-  The number of available traffic_classes and queues may also change.
-  The mbuf structure element for sched hierarchy will also change from a single
-  32 bit to a 64 bit structure.
-
-* The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
-  RED actions.
-
-* librte_cfgfile: In order to allow for longer names and values,
-  the value of macros CFG_NAME_LEN and CFG_NAME_VAL will be increased.
-  Most likely, the new values will be 64 and 256, respectively.
-
-* librte_port: Macros to access the packet meta-data stored within the
-  packet buffer will be adjusted to cover the packet mbuf structure as well,
-  as currently they are able to access any packet buffer location except the
-  packet mbuf structure.
-
-* librte_table LPM: A new parameter to hold the table name will be added to
-  the LPM table parameter structure.
-
-* librte_table: New functions for table entry bulk add/delete will be added
-  to the table operations structure.
-
-* librte_table hash: Key mask parameter will be added to the hash table
-  parameter structure for 8-byte key and 16-byte key extendible bucket and
-  LRU tables.
-
-* 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 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.
