   Added ``rte_eth_get_monitor_addr()``, to be used in conjunction with
   ``rte_power_monitor()`` to enable automatic power management for PMDs.
 
+* **Added Ethernet PMD power management helper API.**
+
+  A new helper API has been added to make using Ethernet PMD power management
+  easier for the user: ``rte_power_ethdev_pmgmt_queue_enable()``. Three power
+  management schemes are supported initially:
+
+  * Power saving based on UMWAIT instruction (x86 only)
+  * Power saving based on ``rte_pause()`` (generic) or TPAUSE instruction (x86 only)
+  * Power saving based on frequency scaling through the ``librte_power`` library
+
+* **Added GENEVE TLV option in rte_flow.**
+
+  Added support for matching and raw encap/decap of GENEVE TLV option.
+
+* **Added support of modify field action in the flow API.**
+
+  Added modify action support to perform various operations on
+  any arbitrary header field (as well as mark, metadata or tag values):
+  ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_MODIFY_FIELD``.
+  Supported operations are: overwriting a field with the content from
+  another field, addition and subtraction using an immediate value.

+* config: Removed the old macros, included in ``rte_config.h``,
+  to indicate which DPDK libraries and drivers are built.
+  The new macros are generated by meson in a standardized format:
+  ``RTE_LIB_<NAME>`` and ``RTE_<CLASS>_<NAME>``, where ``NAME`` is
+  the upper-case component name, e.g. ``EAL``, ``ETHDEV``, ``VIRTIO``,
+  and ``CLASS`` is the upper-case driver class, e.g. ``NET``, ``CRYPTO``.

 * cryptodev: The structure ``rte_cryptodev`` has been updated with pointers
   for adding enqueue and dequeue callbacks.
