+  * Added more supported device IDs.
+  * Updated virtual channel to latest AVF spec.
+
+* **Updated Intel i40e driver.**
+
+  Updated i40e PMD with new features and improvements, including:
+
+  * Added support for L2TPv3 over IP profiles which can be programmed by the
+    dynamic device personalization (DDP) process.
+  * Added support for ESP-AH profiles which can be programmed by the
+    dynamic device personalization (DDP) process.
+  * Added PF support Malicious Device Drive event catch and notify.
+  * Added LLDP support.
+  * Extended PHY access AQ cmd.
+  * Added support for reading LPI counters.

+
+* **Updated Mellanox mlx5 driver.**
+
+  Updated Mellanox mlx5 driver with new features and improvements, including:
+
+  * Added support for RSS using L3/L4 source/destination only.
+  * Added support for matching on GTP tunnel header item.
+
+* **Add new vDPA PMD based on Mellanox devices**
+
+  Added a new Mellanox vDPA  (``mlx5_vdpa``) PMD.
+  See the :doc:`../vdpadevs/mlx5` guide for more details on this driver.
+
+* **Updated testpmd application.**
+
+  Added support for ESP and L2TPv3 over IP rte_flow patterns to the testpmd
+  application.
