   In the new API, offloads are divided into per-port and per-queue offloads.
   Offloads are disabled by default and enabled per application request.
 
-  The old ethdev - drivers offload interface will be deprecated on 18.05.
-  This includes:
-  - removal of the conversion in ethdev from new offloading API to old API for drivers.
-
   In later releases the old offloading API will be deprecated, which will include:
   - removal of ``ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*`` flags.
   - removal of ``txq_flags`` field from ``rte_eth_txconf`` struct.

   Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
   PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
 
-* ethdev: A new rss level field planned in 18.05.
-  The new API add rss_level field to ``rte_eth_rss_conf`` to enable a choice
-  of RSS hash calculation on outer or inner header of tunneled packet.
-
-* ethdev: A work is being planned for 18.05 to expose VF port representors
-  as a mean to perform control and data path operation on the different VFs.
-  As VF representor is an ethdev port, new fields are needed in order to map
-  between the VF representor and the VF or the parent PF. Those new fields
-  are to be included in ``rte_eth_dev_info`` struct.
-
-* i40e: The default flexible payload configuration which extracts the first 16
-  bytes of the payload for RSS will be deprecated starting from 18.02. If
-  required the previous behavior can be configured using existing flow
-  director APIs. There is no ABI/API break. This change will just remove a
-  global configuration setting and require explicit configuration.
-
 * pdump: As we changed to use generic IPC, some changes in APIs and structure
   are expected in subsequent release.
 
   - ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir`` will be removed;
   - The parameter, ``path``, of ``rte_pdump_init`` will be removed;
   - The enum ``rte_pdump_socktype`` will be removed.
+
+* cryptodev: The following changes will be made in the library
+  for 18.08:
+
+  - Removal of ``sym`` structure in ``rte_cryptodev_info`` structure,
+    containing fields not relevant anymore since the session mempool
+    is not internal in the crypto device anymore.
+  - Replacement of ``pci_dev`` field with the more generic ``rte_device``
+    structure.
+  - Functions ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session()`` and
+    ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_dettach_sym_session()`` will be deprecated from
+    18.05 and removed in 18.08, as there are no drivers doing anything useful
+    with them.
+  - Functions ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_start()`` and
+    ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_stop()`` will be deprecated from 18.05
+    and removed in 18.08, as there are no drivers doing anything useful
+    with them.
+  - Some feature flags such as ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER`` are ambiguous,
+    so some will be replaced by more explicit flags.
+  - Function ``rte_cryptodev_get_header_session_size()`` will be deprecated
+    in 18.05, and it gets replaced with ``rte_cryptodev_sym_get_header_session_size()``.
+    It will be removed in 18.08.
+  - Function ``rte_cryptodev_get_private_session_size()`` will be deprecated
+    in 18.05, and it gets replaced with ``rte_cryptodev_sym_get_private_session_size()``.
+    It will be removed in 18.08.
