in an mbuf chain and retrieve its packet type by software.
* Added new functions ``rte_get_ptype_*()`` to dump a packet type as a string.
+* **Improved offloads support in mbuf.**
+
+ * Added a new function ``rte_raw_cksum_mbuf()`` to process the checksum of
+ data embedded in an mbuf chain.
+
* **Added vhost-user dequeue zero copy support**
The copy in dequeue path is saved, which is meant to improve the performance.
