      =======================================================
 
+* **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
+
+* **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.

+* eal: The ``rte_logs`` struct and global symbol was made private

+
+* eal: Made the ``rte_dev_event`` structure private to the EAL as no public API
+  used it.
+
+* mem: Removed the unioned field ``phys_addr`` from
+  the structures ``rte_memseg`` and ``rte_memzone``.
+  The field ``iova`` is remaining from the old unions.

+* mempool: Removed the unioned fields ``phys_addr`` and ``physaddr`` from

+  The field ``iova`` is remaining from the old unions.
+  The flag name ``MEMPOOL_F_NO_PHYS_CONTIG`` is removed,

+
+* mbuf: Removed the functions ``rte_mbuf_data_dma_addr*``

+
+* pci: Removed the PCI resources map API from the public API
+  (``pci_map_resource`` and ``pci_unmap_resource``) and moved it to the
+  PCI bus driver along with the PCI resources lists and associated structures
+  (``pci_map``, ``pci_msix_table``, ``mapped_pci_resource`` and

+
+* ethdev: Removed the ``kdrv`` field in the ethdev ``rte_eth_dev_data``
+  structure as it gave no useful abstracted information to the applications.

+  * ``_rte_eth_dev_reset`` -> ``rte_eth_dev_internal_reset()``
