+* **Added Hisilicon hns3 PMD.**
+
+  Added the new ``hns3`` net driver for the inbuilt Hisilicon Network
+  Subsystem 3(HNS3) network engine found in the Hisilicon Kunpeng 920 SoC.
+  See the :doc:`../nics/hns3` guide for more details on this new driver.
+
+* **Updated the Intel ice driver.**
+
+  Updated the Intel ice driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+  * Added support for device-specific DDP package loading.
+  * Added support for handling Receive Flex Descriptor.
+  * Added support for protocol extraction on per Rx queue.
+
+* **Added Marvell NITROX symmetric crypto PMD.**
+
+  Added a symmetric crypto PMD for Marvell NITROX V security processor.

+* **Updated NXP crypto PMDs for PDCP support.**
+
+  PDCP support is added to DPAA_SEC and DPAA2_SEC PMDs using rte_security APIs.
+  Support is added for all sequence number sizes for control and user plane.
+  Test application is updated for unit testing.
+
+* **Enabled Single Pass GCM acceleration on QAT GEN3.**
+
+  Added support for Single Pass GCM, available on QAT GEN3 only (Intel
+  QuickAssist Technology C4xxx). It is automatically chosen instead of the
+  classic 2-pass mode when running on QAT GEN3, significantly improving
+  the performance of AES GCM operations.
+
+* **Updated the Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) compression PMD.**
+
+  Added stateful decompression support in the Intel QuickAssist Technology PMD.
