Description of Release
======================
-These release notes cover the new features,
-fixed bugs and known issues for Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) release version 2.0.0.
-
-For instructions on compiling and running the release, see the *DPDK Getting Started Guide*.
-
-Using DPDK Upgrade Patches
---------------------------
-
-For minor updates to the main DPDK releases, the software may be made available both as a new full package and as a patch file to be applied to the previously released package.
-In the latter case, the following commands should be used to apply the patch on top of the already-installed package for the previous release:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- # cd $RTE_SDK
- # patch –p1 < /path/to/patch/file
-
-Once the patch has been applied cleanly, the DPDK can be recompiled and used as before (described in the *DPDK Getting Started Guide*).
-
-.. note::
-
- If the patch does not apply cleanly, perhaps because of modifications made locally to the software,
- it is recommended to use the full release package for the minor update, instead of using the patch.
-
