      =======================================================
 
+* **Updated Cisco enic driver.**
+
+  * Added support for VF representors with single-queue Tx/Rx and flow API
+  * Added support for egress PORT_ID action
+  * Added support for non-zero priorities for group 0 flows
+  * Added support for VXLAN decap combined with VLAN pop
+
+* **Extended flow-perf application.**
+
+  * Started supporting user order instead of bit mask:
+    Now the user can create any structure of rte_flow
+    using flow performance application with any order,
+    moreover the app also now starts to support inner
+    items matching as well.
+  * Added header modify actions.
+  * Added flag action.
+  * Added raw encap/decap actions.
+  * Added VXLAN encap/decap actions.
+  * Added ICMP and ICMP6 matching items.
+  * Added option to set port mask for insertion/deletion:
+    ``--portmask=N``
+    where N represents the hexadecimal bitmask of ports used.
+
+* **Updated the pipeline library for alignment with the P4 language.**
+
+  Added new Software Switch (SWX) pipeline type that provides more
+  flexibility through API and feature alignment with the P4 language.
+
+  * The packet headers, meta-data, actions, tables and pipelines are
+    dynamically defined instead of selected from pre-defined set.
+  * The actions and the pipeline are defined with instructions.
+  * Extern objects and functions can be plugged into the pipeline.
+  * Transaction-oriented table updates.
